Blood and Plunder Demonstration Game at Fiasco 2022, Royal Armoury, Leeds

 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...
