Gloire in Italy!

[Remgain]

Hello!

On past saturday and yesterday in Crema was held DADI.COM 2007, a very interesting and fun wargame display.
Here the official link

We, ARES Wargame Club of Milano, presented a Gloire scenario depicting the three (four?) musketeers searching for the Queen's necklace, hidden and defended by the evil cardinal Richelieu, Milady and Cardinal Guards in a monastery and the nearby field and graveyard.
We played 3 games and we had really great fun!
The terrain and buildings was totally scratchbuilt and the miniatures are Redoubt (nuns from West Wind).
Here some pictures:

Wow! What a great looking table. I love the graveyard and pumpkin field (it would make a great table for a Gothic Horror game on Halloween!)

 :love:  :love:  :love:

Very nice Marco - grand scenery, and the fleeing peasants were a nice touch.
I suppose you would be the producers of the Dadi e piombo magazine, right?
By the way, as far as I can tell, you're my nearest geographical neighbours on this board.

Ciao Vanvlak!

Yes, we are on the same side of the small mediterranean pond!
No, I'm not the publisher of Dadi&Piombo, but I've met him lot of times, and sooner or later I'll have to write something about pulp gaming for that beautiful magazine.

Ciao!

Thank you Kurgan!
I scratchbuilt all the buildings and scenic elements and actually the graveyard is my favourite!
Did you notice the grave freshly digged?  :wink:

And yes, i suppose that this elements will see a lot of action in the future.
Halloween, zombies, 2WW, pulp...

Ciao Marco, yes it would be grand to see that in D&P.
Hadn't noticed the grave- very nice

Marco, you have done a beautiful job on the game! Thanks so much for sharing with us!  :love:

[Vanvlak]

And it looks like you got an award (first pic) too

The convent is magnificent! I think I should get on with my musketeer project.

[Vanvlak]

And now I'm tempted to get Gloire.....

[Driscoles]

Gloire is a beautiful game.

Its a shame that we north germans havent done a suitable game report yet.

Cheers

Vanvlak,

have a try with the free downloadable demo (that actually is not a demo but quite a complete set of rules!).
As well as the gangsters and science-fiction sets.
