This will be the last outing of this years scenario " The Great Trayne Robbery" (which premiered at Salute in April) inspired by two of C S Grant's classic Tabletop Teasers.

The day and the scenario is split into 3 different sessions 10-1, 12-2,2-4 with as much or as little participation time as you like.
Be a condottiere controlling up to 5 companies or an independent Captain controlling your own actions.
So have a go at the Renaissance game that doesn't take itself too seriously

10 days to go and here's the scenario:

"Its been three days since we joined the baggage trayne on route to one of the Von Trinkenessen Cantonments,five days since we were pulled out of that staged street brawl by Sebaldus and his horsemen.

The trail of 'The Alchemist' has gone cold..........

No news of my father and brothers with the main army,as the trayne we are with belongs to the Advante Guarde under the command of my uncle Einhart and his son Jacob.

The talk around the campfires is the arrival of De Mendoza's veteran Spanish troops, the heroes of Bergkhamp an der Ecke, several of their companies together with their baggage are attached to the convoy.
The mood has lightened as we near our destination with just a few leagues to the camp.

But I still worry who were those men and what was behind the attack 5 days ago. All of a sudden this province has got a lot less safe.
Dark forces are abroad and hidden agendas are being put into place, the sooner I get to the safety of the family's household troops the better.................."

From the journal of Elspeth Von Trinkenessen.


Basically a supply convoy with the addition of a coach with an escort of Gendarmes make their way to a walled farm that is the cantonment of the friendly forces.
Unbeknown to them forces have gathered to attack both the convoy and the farm. Also the greatest prize is in the coach, the daughter of Lothar Von Trinkenessen head of the Von Trinkenessen familly.

Dramatis Personae to follow.
