« on: 21 October 2017, 07:59:58 AM »
One of four games featured at this month's meeting of the DWG was this eighty years war skirmish using Donnybrook.



If you would like to see how the game played out just follow the link to the club blog.

I enjoyed seeing a game played out using “Donnybrook”. Great looking figures, loved the buildings. Also like the scenario and backstory explanation.

Awesome work!

I'm so jealous. I've been trying to get an army together for some Dutch Revolt skirmish but I just can't find any manufacturer that has the right miniatures. It's so frustrating!

I just want some pikemen, musketeers and an officer or two  :'(

Foundry Seadogs
Foundry Wars of religion
Casting room Elizabethans

Gamezone Imperials
Warlord swordsman
Warlord/Arsenal Wars of religion Pike and shot
HokaHey games Border Reivers

Great report! Did you adapt Donnybrok for the period? Or did you use it as written, just ignoring rules for bayonets and the like? I was thinking about using the rules for the Thirty Years War.
