Håtunaleken - Lion Rampant club project (150102 AAR #2 added)

[Dalauppror]

Hi

We decided to set up a small lose club campaign revolving around the Håtunaleken that was the struggle of the Crown between the sons of the late Swedish King Magnus Birgersson in the beginning of the 14th centery. There was not many pitched battles but a more low intense war with raids and ambushes on going for several years, perfect for the force size in Lion Rampant.

To let as many of our club mates as possible to get a chanse to participate we decided to start up with 12 points Hoasts and run multiplayer games. Each hoast will have their own leader and we will use activation cards to set the activation orders during the turn, We have tried this out during the playtest of Lion Rampant and it have turned out to work really nice and give very good games.

You can read a bit more about it at my blog

And here a pictures of the start of my 12 point Hoast...

A great inspiration to all would-be LR gamers! 
I think this could turn out to be one of the most interesting LR threads to follow here on the forum and I will be looking forward to the next instalment in the Håtunaleken campaign!

Your campaign games will be true eye-candy Michael, great to see so many finely painted minis

What kind of campaign structure you have planned or will you agree on scenarios and such as you go?

[Dalauppror]

Thanks !

We will try to keep it as simple as possibly and just use the Glory points in the Lion Rampant rules as a mesurement of how good diggerent fractions progress. We will probablu use some sort of average of Glory points won / games played so people that don´t have time to play as much also got a chanse to have a good campaign progress.

Great to see your clubs progress.

Thanks Stephen !

Tomorrow it is our forst gaming night for our Håtunaleken club project.

The lords year 1301 at midsummer time ... All free men of Sweden have been called to the "Mora Stones" in Lagga parish south of Uppsala by the Lord Marshal Torgils Knutsson to confirm the election of young Birger Magnusson from the House of Bjälbo as King of Sweden.

Birgers father the King Magnus Birgersson died in 1290 and the realm have been ruled by the Lord Marshal Torgils Knutsson sin then, but now the time have come to let Birger become Swedish King himself...or not...

As Sweden by the time was a Elective Kingdom and Birger have two younger brothers that also are keen to get hold of the Swedish Crown...

And there are also some of the other major noble familys that think they now have a chance to get their familis to become the royal house of Sweden...

There´s troubble in the air...

I have been painting a much for this project lately, just finished me a banner and a banner holder for my character Gudmar Magnusson from the House of Ulvåsa.



I also put some time in making Activation cards for each House my friends have choosen for the campaing and also some unit cards to have the unit stats handy during play, picture at my blog.

have a really nice Sunday !

Best regards Michael
