A Very Hot Dispute: the Battle of Monkton Farleigh

[Codsticker]

Murdock and I got together for the first time in almost a year to play another installment in our ongoing ECW campaign.


Don't worry,  we're both vaccinated and the garage door was open for ventilation.

Beautiful figures and layout. What ruleset do you use?

Thanks.

[Atheling]

Really beautiful looking game 

The battle matt is superb! any hints as to if it was home grown or perhaps bought from a retailer?

Thank you guys- it was great to get some figures on the table again.

Thanks.

We used Pike and Shotte with the amendments from To Kill A King.

I'll have to ask Murdock about the table cloth. It is a fake fur blanket; I know he bought it off amazon but I cannot remember the brand.

Wonderful set up and great figures.   

By coincidence the village of Monkton Farleigh is ony 3 miles from where I live.  I am aware of the siege of the castle but not a battle so I presume it is ficticious.  Are you playing out the 1643 Lansdowne - Roundway Down campaign by any chance?

Yes we are, as a matter of fact. We are using scenarios from this book (link):



I think the exact location of the battle is somewhat conjectural but the battle is not fictional. There are a few 'what if' scenarios in the book; in fact the next one in line is, but I am not sure if we will be playing it as it is based on the assumption that the Royalist win Monkton Farleigh, as they did historically.

Great looking game. The teddy bear fur looks really effective.
