Pirates Raid Coast and Capture New Base
« on: December 14, 2007, 03:02:12 AM »
Here are some pictures from our group's game last night.  The scenario involved a group of pirates raiding a town somewhere in the Caribbean.  The pirates wanted to use the town as a base of operations - once they defeated the colonial settlers and government troops.
The defenders put up a good fight, but were eventually overwhelmed by the invaders.
We used "This Very Ground" rules from Iron Ivan - with a few small adjustments.


All quiet along the coast.


Is that a sail in the distance?


Sound the alarm!

Simply lovely,

Would you mind giving a bit of a run down on the figs you used?  I am most curious about the pirates, the government troops and the lin of what  assume are sailors defending the rock wall.

Thanks,
-Eli

Excellent looking tables and minis.

Where are the boats from? Scratch built or purchased?

Lovely figures, terrain & boats. I do love those boats! :love:  


Are the government troops Old Glory? If so, they appear to be some of their better sculpts. I'm trying to decide where to get mine from & these look good to me. I need quite a few, so their big bags are welcome, for once  :wink:

Beautiful looking game! I love the government troops and the frightened town militia. Those bands of buccaneers are savage looking!

The lass brandishing what looks like a mallet didn't look too frightened!
Lovely stuff - especially the troops.

What a lovely looking game, you captured the menace of the shore parties attacking the town very well I would certianly be heading for the hills rather than standing behind that wall :lol:
