En Garde!: Alatrieste and the gate of death
« on: August 15, 2016, 12:03:18 PM »
Game form last Thursday night. A skirmish with a band of Spanish Hidalgos defending a gate against English Pirates. We used the En Garde! rules.

Indeed the author sighted the Alatriste Novels as one of his inspirations.

Perfect rules for this! And your fortress gate looks fabulous! Some Frostgrave crossover perhaps?  :D
I wish I were a glowworm
'cause glowworms 're never glum
How can you be grumpy
When the sun shines out yer bum?

I like the gate but that tower looks like it has a giant pigeon problem!  ;)




Thanks for that report, I'm still thinking about buying that rule set.
"I'd like to send this letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 autogyro?"
"Uh, I better look in the manual... This book must be out of date. I don't see "Prussia", "Siam" or "autogyro"...

They are a very nice set of rules.  Combat is simpler than it seems.
