Chris and I ran a demonstration game of Firelock Games Blood and Plunder over at Fiasco, the wargaming show put on by Leeds Wargames Club
This is a prelude to our large scale battle we plan for WARFARE on 12th/13th November at Farnborough, put on by Wargames Association of Reading, which is the biggest event Chris and I have attended to date...
Had quite a bit of interest at Fiasco, most notably from guys awaiting the Raise the Black kickstarter and good to bump into a few old faces from Bolt Action days...
The set up for the day...
My Spanish Galleon, "The Golden Lion" obscures the English Fluyt "Lady Karolyn"
A better view of the ships
The "Lady Karolyn" fires a broadside at the oncoming Galleon...
A view from the Fluyt
The English village with the Tudor buildings from Tymeagain
The Market stalls are from Iron Gate Scenery
Chris's Native Caribs using the woods for cover
As the Spanish Soldado's prepare to repel the interlopers...
While the Catholic priest preaches Fire and Brimstone to the "friendly natives"
A local guide points the way to the Militia Cavalry to engage the Anglo-Native forces
The Spanish Militia gathers in the town with more buildings from Tymeagain
Now we know where they are, the English allies are easier to see...
My favourite model from No Peace Beyond the line Kickstarter, "Old Papa Pepe", the Lighthouse Keeper and boat pilot...
And having a Marksman up top can be very useful...
"The Golden Lion"
Lanceros are very useful for defending the Spanish coastal settlements and fishing...
Chris goes through the basics of the game with visitors to Fiasco
While others peruse the rules...
Or take pictures of the set up
Chris really gets into it when he's explaining the rules with a quick 3 unit per side game...
Will do a full weekend battle report from Warfare mid to late November, but if you are attending, please pop over and say hello...
