What better way to celebrate the festive season than with a bunch o' scruffy buccaneers!? Way back during the first lockdown I ordered these wee vessels from Games of War (sold as the Sea Dog v.2, and the jolly boat). Before I got a chance to do more than undercoat them, work ramped up and I focused what free time I had in other areas. With a good bit of time off over Christmas, I decided that it was time to get back to them!

There are a couple more photos on the blog: https://irregularwars.blogspot.com/2021/12/yarrr-humbug-crew-of-cutter-charlotte.html?fbclid=IwAR33aCEGt9ZyCLkYf7mUVbzNMT-ELlR1B5NyHDlzQ2RC4eu42iLwSVm5d_I

This week Andrew and I got our pirate-types on the table for the first time. Between us we have a raft of suitable rules focusing on pirates and swashbucklers, but we decided to use the post-apocalyptic rule set, This is Not a Test, instead. Despite first (post-apocalyptic) appearances, the rules are pretty flawless for pirate themed skirmishes for crews of a dozen or so characters.
