The Three Musketeers, Doug em4, Vagabond and myself will be meeting for our annual gaming and drinking weekend later this year at Snapcase Hall in Much-Piddling, mid-Devon. My contribution to this beanfeast will be a 'Blood and Plunder' game featuring ships, boats and land action.
Some possible features will be:
• Ship to ship battles at sea
• Attack the fort
• Governor’s daughter kidnapped
• Giant sharks
• Treasure of various sizes hidden in a myriad of locations
• The possibility of seizing treasure from other players
• Cannibals in the Voodoo Village
• Monster in the swamp
• Free the slaves
• Wanton wenches in abundance
• Kidnap the Governor
Rum cocktails and Rum Punch will be on offer along with of course, limes, grog and ship’s biscuit! I have an unopened bottle of
Pusser's Rum ready to greet my fellow gamers.
I will of course be playing the gallant English, with my pirate captain sailing under a Letter of Marque. This will be Captain Teatime Snapcase aboard his ship
The Saucy Strumpet.
Doug em4 will be playing the indefatigable Dutch in the guise of Stadholder Diedereck van den Strepsil aboard his ship
Het Geile Wijf.
Vagabond will take the part of the ebullient Spanish as Capitán Don Juan El Vagabunda aboard his ship 'TBA'.
This thread will be an attempt to keep the project on track. I have proposed that we each have a commander and four six-man units as crew. Doug and Vagabond have agreed to paint their own force and hopefully they will add pictures here as things progress.
To get things rolling, I have completed Captain Teatime Snapcase shown here with his son 'Bluebottle' Snapcase,
The Saucy Strumpet's powder monkey and his parrot, Errol Flynn.
My four six-man units:
...and the first complete unit, my Sea Dogs, a very salty and scurvy bunch of swabs.
I have some Ainsty ships and other bits ready to go.
...and I have completed some small bits of scenery (with a great pile of stuff yet to come).
I will add more as things are completed, thanks for looking.
