FIW using Black Powder - Devon Wargames Group
« on: September 12, 2021, 04:42:04 PM »
This weekend, one of three games played, was a Black Powder game loosely recreating the attacks on Colonel Munroe's British column as it vacated Fort William Henry in 1757.



The game produced plenty of drama and laughs, well perhaps not for the redcoats, but certainly for the players.



If you would like to know more then just follow the link to the club blog.

Often it is better to remain silent and let people think you are stupid than to open your mouth and remove all possible doubt.

Great looking game and sounds like it was a lot of fun to play. That is a great part of the film. I think BP can work really well for this sort of skirmish game. We’ve used the Pike and Shotte derivative in a similar way for storming a star fort.
