The Peat Ship of Breda
« on: 02 September 2017, 06:52:10 AM »
We hosted an 80-Years War event in Utrecht last week and there we played the The Peat Ship of Breda, a famous Trojan Horse style raid that captured the city of Breda in 1590.







Do you want to see more? Lookee here  :D

Handsome miniatures and a gorgeous board.  The yellow disks to signify lighted areas was a nice touch.   Thanks for sharing!

Ditto, the yellow discs are a fine idea.
Loved the scenery - and the ship in particular.  8) 8) 8)
P.S. I had to look the incident up too - interesting bit of history.

As far as I know it is the only historical Trojan Horse raid that actually worked.
