Medieval Battle Royale III - battle report (pic HEAVVVVY)
« on: 04 February 2013, 03:06:13 PM »


A few of us from the South East England chapter of the LAF are getting together for a late medieval game on Friday.

Here's the table - a peaceful corner of the English countryside...



Cabbages grow peacefully in the fields...



A rider ambles down a country lane wondering where everybody is...



Beside the duck pond, stout yeoman discuss the cabbage harvest...



The village slumbers...



A man takes his dog rabbiting on the heath...



A woodsman crosses the burbling brook by a rickety footbridge...



All too soon, this rural idyll will be shattered by the tramp of boots, the thunder of hooves, the clash of steel and the glint of sunlight on armour...

Watch this space  ;)

That terrain is stunning, did you scratchbuild the houses?

Hey.
This looks really nice!
I envy you. And that's said to be the most honest form of acknowledgement! :)

Keep on gaming!

On Thursday evening I shall be addressing my troops.  Having been bested by the dastardly Lancastrians on two prior occasions, I am expecting better from them.

Good idea, make an example out of a couple of them, snap off a spear or even better break off an arm or a leg. Tell them to expect worse if they lose. >:D

2m x 1.2m (so a little over 6'x4' in old money) It's gonna be crowded lol

No, they're just a couple of the cheap and cheerful Conflix buildings.
