As it was snowing last week, my nephew had the brilliant idea to play CROM, not in the normal scale, but smaller.
The recipe:
We put nearly all the scenery I had for 15mm, just enough to cover a 3x4 (1.2x1.8m) table but we hadn't a thousand bridges (nor the room size). Then put the laptop with an audio controller and a sound setup: each battle is enhanced with screams and battle sounds, different sonic background (river, village, wind effects) and musics.
Added some special belgian beer served in pottery chalice (more barbar! ;D ) and local cheese, dried meat and home made bread 8)
The scene:
Three villages, a impetuous river that can be crossed only by bridge.
Demian the Slaver had invaded the Valley of the Thousand Bridges and want to enforce the citizen to volontary and freely work as slaves. Demian's hangman is trying to convince the people in the first village as other minions loot the country.
Will Conan and his party free the land?
Well, no battle report but only a few pictures.
The Setup:

First village, the hangman waiting impatiently while the baron try to convince the citizen to work for Demian

The second village is looted by some minions, searching for alcohol and food (we probably made a drinking and eating pause at this time)

One of the Thousand Bridges:

.... and another bridge, heavily guarded by stone knights

View from a bridge, can't take it anymore.....

Fighting events, Shah Amurath and his pet trying to stop Red Sonja and Yazid the Thief

A dangerous crossing, will the planks be sturdy enough?

Red Sonja emerging, Conan is a way slower (must be the extraordinary view on the bridge)
(https://teardropworlds.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/votb12.jpg?w=810)
Last stand for the minions, Demian has been slaughtered earlier, and all the villages are free

We hope to dispose of light effects next time, with some cheap LED Par giving colourful ambiances (green for the forests, blue when it's night, a chase of white flashes when thunder is roaring) I got this setup on a solo table and it add a lot (except LED give a kind of fluorescent light ideal for sci-fi but not fantasy :? )
Thank for your patience
