Once upon a time there was a beautiful Castle. The evil Lords Sir George the Mean and Sir John of Snowden decided to take it by storm... So they gathered their forces and one day they attacked. Sir George with the Trebuchet and the siege engine would attack from the East and Sir John would attack from the North with the battering ram
-
As you see the attackers had a formidable force ...
-
A general layout. The Castle and the Attackers. However reinforcements are on the way...
-
After a few lucky shots, the trebuchet managed to break a part of the wall ... The siege engine reached the wall ... it was easier than it seemed.
-
A terrible fighting ensues
-
Fab looking game- one that by the very look of it, I would have loved to have joined in! :-* :-* :-*
Is the trebuchet facing in the wrong direction because it is being moved into position?
-
Sir Din, (in the grey T-shirt) is the defender of the Castle. He looks desperate:"Where are my reinforcements?" he exclaims! Harry (the other guy wearing blue and Game Master, doesn't reply.

You are right! lol
-
Oh! By the way ... our (Game) Master Harry has made all these wonderful siege engines, including trebuchet and battering ram... More pics from the epic fighting on the walls...
-
A breach in the wall ! Everything is lost !
-
You are right! lol
Had me worried for a second lol
-
REINFORCEMENTS ARRIVED! [it was about time...]
This is Anty and his son Alexander (...yes ... the great!)
-
dramatic phases of the battle in the open between the reinforcements and the attackers from the North. Clearly the defenders of the Castle need to buy TIME!
-
sir Din decides to challenge his opponent, sir George, to a personal duel (a special rule of the rule-set we used - Osprey's "lion rampant" ).
According to the rules, the army of the loser in the duel takes an immediate morale check. Din had an advantage here, since he was better qualified ... If his opponent refused the duel challenge, his army would become demoralized. It was the right decision at the right moment ... the two opponents started to fight !
-
Helas! The dice favoured the attacker! The duel was a draw... the battle continued in the castle and out in the opeen between Anty and the evil Sir John of Snowden. The attackers used all the means now: ladders, ropes, everything !
-
... The shot shows clearly the result of the combat between Anty's force and the evil Sir John of Snowden. Sir John managed to beat and completely destroy Anty's rescuing force. The attackers were free to launch a full scale assault on the castle!
-
So this was the end of the day... A clear victory for the Attacking forces. The castle has fallen ... A few pics of the Dramatis Personae...
Hope you enjoyed ! :)

Looks great.
What rules did you use?

Thank you... we used Daniel Mersey's Lion Rampant, Osprey publications. An easy-to-play and exciting set of rules.
-
Thoroughly enjoyed that 8)
Were you playing it live?

I'll reply here as there appears to be a duplicate thread and this has the most posts. Looks like a lot of fun.
Did you make any adaptions to Lion Rampant for the siege aspects? eg how did you handle the battering rams, wall, siege tower, ladders, etc
-

I mean't live as in you were playing and posting the pics and description as you played :)
-
:D I was not playing. As a host, I was on the entertainment and photographs et.c.

Yes, Harry made some adaptations to Lion Rampant which worked quite well to help us see a siege with this ruleset.

Dear friend!
You did a great job with the pictures, nice presentation of the game!
As defenders of the castle we were unfortunately wiped out :-[
I even challenged Sir George (having the attribute of dueling master) but even this did not help us buy time...
It was a nail-biting game, I thank Harry and you for inviting me!
We had an enjoyable day and I was glad to see you all after so much time in confinement!
-
Great looking game :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Is it possible to get a copy of the siege rules you created? I would love to try them out. Thank you in advance.

thank you very much for your kind comments. The castle is Mini Art. I had posted it when I built it (during the corona-virus quarantine period lol)

Could I please ask, is the Mini Art Castle it good for 28mm miniatures or do you think smaller scales would be more appropriate?
If it's good for 28mm then it might well form the basis of some kitbash city walls.

Miltiades put some Ral Partha 25mm for scale

Thanks for the link. The kit looks a bit small for a city wall but some of the sprues might be useful for a fortified mansion. 8)

The Greek letters denote areas:
1st line: Deployment area of the besieged player
2nd line: Deployment area of the 1st besieging player
3d line: Deployment area of the 2nd besieging player
4th line: Deployment area of the reinforcements of the besieged player

Thanks again for your reply. Brilliant work and awesome looking game. I look forward to trying them out.
