The sheriffs shiny helmet (part one)

[OSHIROmodels]

Myself, Malamute and Dr D'e'ath had a little Robin Hood bash today to try the rules and refresh our memories etc. Can't remember what they are called but I'm sure someone  will tell us.

The game was basically three groups of about 9-10 figures. One group of 'woodsmen', one group of the false-kings men and one group of heroic kings men (me  ).

The initial board layout


My group moves towards the village to try and protect the church from a villainous band of roving knights under the false king John.


Unfortunately a band of wild woodsmen are making for the church live stock and let loose with a barrage of bow shafts taking out two spearmen.


My loyal band of faithful retainers were then mercilessly set upon by the group of un-true knights and quite resoundingly beaten 



Meanwhile, the dastardly woodsmen were taking advantage of the nearby ruckus and were trying to steal the local sheep (for what purpose one can only guess...)


Unfortunately, my followers had to yield to the enemy (better to live and fight another day) and so we joined forces and started toward the woodsmen.


But to no avail, they got clean away without a single casualty and F**king Massive John even managed to steal two sheep, one under each arm  A final salute from Bill Crimson (Will Scarlets cousin) was all that was left to us...


Figures from the collections of all three players (a mix of manufacturers) and all the terrain is mine, some old, some new.

Good, quick but fun game with plenty more in the pipeline 

cheers

Oh, lovely, shiny new pics and no rules name? You are so cruel!!

Well, okay, I felt ignored under my Robin Hood query but this does give me some ideas for my developing Robin Hood adventures.  Very nicely done - but where was Robin and his bow?

I set up a notification on your post as I wanted to see the answers as well.

Thanks chaps 

I've remembered now (it was a late posting last night  ). The rules are a bastardised version of the old sci-fi set called 'Kill Zone' that Capt. Blood changed for his Wars of the Roses games and we altering slightly for our games.

cheers

Aaaaaaaaaargh!

This is what I hate about the LAF - now I want to chuck out all my other projects, start a Robin Hood thing (as I've already got the models for - no surprises there...) and read the book again. 

Wicked cool!

(Maybe we could make it a standard acronym: WC)

[Captain Blood]

Coolly wicked! And delightful.

[Malamute]

A cruel distortion of the facts there I must say...... Those villianous Norman dogs (AKA Jimbibbly's men) running away half way through a fight, it just goes to show what Saxon steel can do.

It was a great evening, I can't wait to see Mark's photos.

Roll on Blam!

Cracking Game

Actually, I think the sheriff's helmet is too shiny. Needs a purple wash.

Looks like the three of you had a great time frollicking in the woods!
