Title: Jacobite Rebellion 2 x AARs Song of Drums and Shakos Rules
Post by: Captain Darling on 03 July 2021, 01:48:43 PM

Over the last few weeks we've played two Jacobite Rebellion games using the Song of Drums and Shakos Rules. The results are even with both side winning a game!

Here's a few picture of the action...

Game 1
A British Supply Wagon and Escort are ambushed by Jacobites!

The results are not good for the British!

I very much enjoyed both battle reports.  Scots 1, Recoats 1.  Who will get best 2 out of 3?

Just out of curiosity, which rebellion?  '89?  '15?  '45?  Like I said, just curious...

Hi CapnJim!

Thanks for the comment! Maurice set the games during 1745. 😃

Cheers!

I thought maybe the '45.  I've always pondered doing the '89.  My wife and I, when we went to Scotland, went to to both Culloden Moor and Killiecrankie.  Fascinated with Killiecrankie.  Could be the song... ;)
