we dusted off Pikemans lament last night, trying something different, Spanish conquistadors against and English and native raiding party commanded by Aggresive Dave, using one of Pete's pre-pepared armies!
A good game which got close towards the end, but in a suprising twist Dave only sacrificed a few of the native units and managed to snatch victory.....
The goblin hordes faced off against the Empire again.....strangely the Comte D'El Monte fielded a much more aggresive army......no handgunners.......which really upset the invisible goblin units!!!!! The game was very close coming down to who could befuddle who at the end of the game!!
they certainly didn't just mill around at the rear of the army for several turns.........
it was a weird resin ornament I found in a charity shop, 2 quid!
Looks a little small, how far away is he?
Larger than a goblin archer!
the lack of attack abilities has prompted the purchase if a giant to tackle Ogres hired by Mitch's gobbo horde
ragged prussian landwehr, very nice
I agree with Mitch, fits in well with the current narrative........sounds perfect for 300 Spanish militia to die to protect France 🇫🇷
French naval gun crews showing how they managed to be beaten by the Royal Navy at every turn......still L'Cull wouldn't have sent his finest gunners to defend a Spanish garrison............
The French adriatic flotilla grows......the little boat being "loaned" from the Spanish.....perfect for transporting donkeys............
the Comte D'El Monte clearly needs his own mameluke guard
More Dragon Rampant.....the Goblins almost smashed the Empire army early on, but a couple of bad courage tests saw their squigs fall back whilst the Empire attack sheep managed to heal themselves to full strength whilst the wizardlings punished the Goblins. It became a battle of attrition with the Empire's ranged attacks finally proving decisive.......naturally by this point the Comte D'El Monte had fled the field........
......seems like those could be easily abandoned by the Brunswickers.........but are there enough members of the Luchs family to fie defending them?
the gun crew seeing off three skirmish units as a result of close combat summed up the effectiveness of the franco spanish shooting.........
I'll be down about 3.30
fantastic
a good game, the mamelukes looked great.....almost as good as the sight of Dave retreating
suddenly I have even more hatred of Mitch's lancers.......
checking that chart aggresive light cavalry should have been following up
link won't work for me
