The Battle of Whipton Springs - Devon Wargames Group

[carojon]

The club marked its end of year meet up in a traditional way with one big game, along with festive snacks to which all the club members are invited to take part, named in honour of a former member no longer with us.



This year the featured game was a little known encounter in the Plains Indian Wars, themed around the best Hollywood tropes of stranded settlers and cavalry columns facing ambush attacks.



If you would like to see how the game turned out and get a feel for the fun, then follow the link to the club blog.

Looks like quite the game and a proper rousing turnout, too.  Alas, that has to be the most eclectic collection of wagons ever to grace a table (or a film, even).  Still, sometimes one must make do, mustn't one?

Will the next game tell the story of the missing four troops of the 7th?  Perhaps a bit of Fetterman's Revenge?

What a great looking game; enjoyed reading the AAR.

Rumour has it, some of them Indians are off the reservation, and back on The Warpath again!!!

Love the setup.
Great set of photos for the fight, well done.
