| Field of battle with Scots and Royalists fighting the forces of the people! |
Last Saturday was an ideal opportunity to have a wonderful day of gaming at the NWS.
Cookie, Martin, Steve, Guido and myself took the opportunity to have a Blackpowder game using the wonderful Pike and Shotte rules which we have very much been enjoying recently at the club. With everyone else bringing the figures for a change, I was very happy to play a minor role on the flank and try not to do too much that would prove disastrous.
 |
| Setting up was devoid of terrain tiles which made things a bit easier. Who remembers chalkboard paint??? |
 |
| The boys prepare their plans! |
 |
| Lovely Scots Covenantors that I used to own but with Steve now. |
 |
| Steve and Martin start the war of words. |
 |
| Guidos lovely figures including some Thirty Years War rings ins take up position. |
 |
| The Royalist centre awaits the impending bombardment |
 |
| Martins lovely Redoubt ECW figures |
 |
| My command on the left flank |
 |
| Early combat between Parliamentarian horse and Scots swill!! |
 |
| The Scots blunder early and advance at full pelt onto the enemy lines. |
 |
| "Onward and upward lads" |
 |
| Beautifully painted by Big Chris, these Renegade Royalists are wonderful figures to look and play with. Lovely figures Cookie!! |
 |
| Good support is essential in the Pike and Shotte rules |
The game was a cracker with so much action happening after lunch the photographic duties were forgotten.
Wonderful day of gaming capped by a winning draw to the men of Parliament...at least that's our story!
