HYW Action
« on: October 18, 2012, 06:54:10 AM »
Unfortunately my camera skills were not up to the task yesterday. So only two images are even close to being worth posting  :'(

The two armies in all their (slightly out of focus) glory



Much needed medical help for the French after the Mounted Knights are dispersed after becoming entangled on stakes and their dismounted colleagues are whittled down and break before they can make it to the English front line.



Victory to Dr.The Viking  :D

Good run out for the draft HYW lists I'd done for CoE with stakes nerfing the Heavy Horse nicely, pavises providing great protection, and the dismounted Men-at-Arms taking a lot of shooting from two large expert archer units before breaking.

Forcing the English to redeploy and getting those pesky archers out from behind their stakes will make all the difference  ;)

You need to spend less time playing the game and more time taking lovely pictures ;) (Sadly, the trap I usually fall into!)

Thanks for the game janner! Brilliant entertainment.

I thought you were going to win hands down until I realised just how good the pointy sticks that were placed in front of the archers were.  ;D lol

Tis true, pointy sticks are nasty. I'll try and do better on photos next time, I was too busy removing my casualties with a dustpan and brush. In the meantime here's the wayside cross again:



Oh, and with the exception of the bint, I mean fine lady on the right, who is by Trent, they are all from Perry Miniatures. I have another thread here if you want to see them in a better light:
