Skirmish at Devil's creek (F&IW) Brink of Battle AAR
« on: June 18, 2012, 10:27:16 AM »
Introduced my friend David to Brink of Battle this Thursday, running my "demo" setup of French and Indian War miniatures. So one side were playing French colonials, while the other side was made up of Mohawk raiders led by an European officer.

David picked the Colonials so I played the Mohawk raiders.

The story of this small skirmish was that the French colonials, regulars with some conscripted settler militiamen were travelling down the forest road minding their own business. Once they reached Devil's creek and the stone bridge they were ambushed by a band of Mohawk raiders preying upon the colonial travelers in the area. The Colonials had to either push their way over the bridge and head to safety at the end of the road leading to a nearby village - or try to scare away their attackers by putting up a fight.

Full AAR and more pictures on my blog:

Great set up Alex!  I see you brought sufficient Smoke Tokens.  :D

It's funny how much smoke an Early Modern game can generate.

The smoke also makes it easier to keep track of where soldiers are when taking panoramic pictures  lol

Those Mohaks look lovely. Nice rich colours, well-applied.  :D

Some of them are from Flames of War "Battlefield in a box" (those on small grey bases), the rest I can't tell. It's mostly FoW 15mm terrain used down at our club.
