Raid on Carlisle Castle : IHMN
« on: July 30, 2015, 07:55:17 PM »
Campaign is not quite the right word but I have been developing a number of Companies for IHMN. I have kept them in a broad geographical theme around North Cumbria and the latest Company is based around the Border Regiment based from Carlisle castle. Their erstwhile leader Colonel Cavendish, supported by a range of Officers, Sgts and Privates who will hopefully support him on numerous adventures in the future. They are accompanied occasionally by Steam Powered Auto-privates who for x Company in the regiment.

Anyway Colonel Cavendish made his first appearance on the battlefield a couple of weeks ago. The scenario placed the Borderers in their Castle (it is still home to a military garrison today) with one of my other companies/gangs attempting to break into the castle to steal weapons which had been hidden under crates along the battlements.

Here are some photos of the battle more can be seen on my blog http://wargamesinthedungeon.blogspot.com

It was always going to be a tough scenario to break into the castle but he Ruffians made a good show of it.....and in the end Colonel Cavendish was downed by the evil Mask.
