Some pictures of a game played the 18th February at “Ramène tes Jeux“ games festival in Theix-Noyalo (Brittany).
Action takes place in 1795 in Brittany (ruleset: Argad).
There were four players, each playing a military faction: Republican national guards; Republican gendarmes (elite); Royalist regulars; Royalist Chouans; and a GM.
A Royalist Chouan leader has disappeared and everyone is looking for him ...but for different and secret reasons! The Chouans because they love him, the Royalist regulars because they want him for trial on the admiral ship because he stole money from their army, the Gendarmes for trial in the town of Vannes (off table) ...in fact the Garde nationaux had already captured him and secretly keep him in a farm before execution in the local village.
The gaming table (the village is at the other end of the picture).
Chouans cross the river from the left bank (other groups of Chouans were already positioned on the right bank but farther in the countryside).
Royalist regulars cross the bridge and the river. The redcoats are the French “Loyal-Émigrant“ in British service.
Other groups of Chouans are running between field hedges near the village since the beginning of the game.
The guillotine is coming...
The gendarmes have some difficulty defending the bridge.
A dead man is discovered in a pond! Is he the missing Chouan chief? In fact, not.
...the Chouan chief dies under the guillotine.
Heavy fighting in the fields. The Chouans and Royalists will be defeated.
...And two pictures in the local newspaper!
