Playing Pikemans Lament in Uslar in the Solling

Quote crowded demo-table for an unsuspecting audience at a local brewery.

Fab stuff.

I flipped the two images to a better angle for you.

Very nice table Rogue.  What was the significance of the brewery?

That's a bloody beautiful game!

Great looking game!

Did you get interest from the visitors to the brewery? Was the beer good?

[The Rogue]

Thanks for the switch and your appreciation. It was an event, where the brewery showed its spaces to the people in Uslar, small town in the hills of the Solling, near Göttingen. The brewery will open their old production areas for use - for example next to our table was a small proto escape room - because they‘ll use a smaller more modern brewery in the vicinity.

The scenario was a bit complex for the day. 1623 Protestant troops on the retreat into the Netherlands with the baggage of Christian von Braunschweig and militias from the solling - hunters and tough farmers - on one side, vs. catholic league troops from Tillys army following the retreating protestants and stealing cows and sheep in combination with an eilte cavalry detachment trying to catch a french spy named Lady de Winter - posing as a niece of Tilly - who meets a danish contact in the big inn.

And the beer was great. Bergbräu! 😉

That is absolutely brilliant and stunning! Wish I could have seen it. 
Is there an active scene for PL in Uslar or did you just happen to come by and have those marvelous miniatures and the beautiful tabletop at hand?

Greetings from the middle Weser!

Greetings from Göttingen, we do have an active tabletop club here. Mostly GW fanboys, but 1 or 2 other players plus myself do play. PL. The table and everything is mine, and I would be happy to meet another player. Where do you live exactly?

Great looking game and interesting scenario too. Hope the Lady deWynter got away.

Indeed, she did. Leutnant Pappenheim - a distant relative of the known one - led his lifeguard lancers into a charge against protestant pikeman with not one but two sleeves of shot and perished shortly thereafter. Maybe we should have warned our small guest player Nouri, that those unarmored guys with the long sticks could be quite dangerous. But whats to say about a 9 years old boy having the chance of attacking with some glamorous knightly riders?
Afterwards Pappenheims men concentrated more on avenging their leader and so Mylady never had to leave her comfortable view from the inn.
