Title: Crusader castle game at Salute 2019
Post by: James Holloway on April 16, 2019, 08:31:56 AM

I've written up a short AAR of our Salute 2019 game with some questions for readers about the scenario:

Here are some pictures from the day!

What's going on in there?

Levon and his men form a perimeter around the hostages.

The stairs turned into a bloody chokepoint in almost every version of the game.

I get the game started; this photo shows the way we displayed the castle levels.

All heck breaks loose on the mezzanine.

A crossbowman tries to clear the stairway of defenders.

Fleeing up the stairs, Aybeg's ghazis run into a wall of shields.

Anyway, it was a lot of fun running the game and it was great to meet so many people interested in our project. We had a lot of productive discussions at Salute and we're hoping to have some exciting announcements soon.

Thanks!

If anyone wants to learn more about the project itself, apart from the blog and Facebook links, Beasts of War has a post from the show with some more photos and a short interview with the guy running it:

I only saw you in passing at Salute.  I really wish I had stopped to talk to you about your game.

This is super cool. Hope you will make a loud announcement here when it’s commercially available.
