The sorry tale of Max of Clifford

[OSHIROmodels]

We had a little game tonight, myself, Malamute, Eric of the shed and the good Dr of Death 

Two sides and four 'factions'. The Sheriff of Nottingham (hooray!), Guy of Guisbourne (hooray!), Little John (booo!) and Robin himself (BOOO!).

A small board was used, only 4x4, but it proved ample. Rules were modified Sharp Practise (we like these don't we Nick  ).

All was quite in the sleepy hamlet of Worksop


But trouble was brewing in the castle of Nottingham


Marian was in the home of her vile foster farther, Max of Clifford waiting for Robin to come and elope with her


Unfortunately, the Sheriff and Guy had other plans



Fortunately, Robin was waiting in the woods to spring a trap on the poor unsuspecting Sheriff and his men


Also Ronald de Corbett was passing through and decided to lend a hand


Guy spotted Ronald's men and charged forward with the Sheriffs men in close support


Meanwhile, Robin was still waiting to spring his trap


The battle raged between Guy and Ronald



Whilst Robin was still in the woods waiting to spring his trap


Guy finally beat off Ronald (who was only little and couldn't fight very well) leaving only Little John and some peasants to hold him off


And Robin was still waiting in the woods to spring his trap


And waiting


And waiting


Until the Sheriffs men came to see him off


Victory to the Sheriff and his band of jolly chaps but woe to Marian who is still being held by Max. Will Robin rescue her, will Max weasel his way out of this one and will the Sheriff finally get to be King? Find out in the next thrilling episode

I really cannot believe you used this libellous title...

You'll be sharing the James of Seville joke next

Great game !

Cheers

Wonderful, mate, just wonderful!

Eye candy, humour and Alan a' Dale class storytelling.
What more could a poor little Saxon peasant ask for?

 


If Robin stands about in them woods any longer you should charge him with 'loitering with intent.....to loiter',
because it does not seem that he is doing anything else.

Or was he just looking for badgers...?

I take it Robin's Big Man card was MIA. That happens a bit too often in our games too. Last time our hero got stranded on the beach while the battle raged around him.

What a feast for the eyes - absolutely beautiful looking game.      

Very envious of you guys and your talented group - pointy hats off.

Great report!  Seems like Sharp Practice is very much the "go-to" rules set these days.

[gamer Mac]

Lovely

[Ragnar]

That looks like a fun game on a very nice setup.

[joekano]

Fantastic figures and terrain! Enjoyed the AAR as well; thanks for sharing!

[Mick_in_Switzerland]

Excellent game, excellent table, superb terrain and painting.
 

Nice thread title 

[Mister Rab]

Fabulous story-driven gaming, with beautifully painted figures, across marvellous terrain - exactly the sort of thing that drew me to LAF in the first place. Jolly good show!

Actually Robin's card came out in most of the turns. He just chose to wait in the woods to spring his trap

I loved it and actually can't wait until the next episode!

That sneaky sod - never trust a man in tights!

That sneaky sod - never trust a man in tights! 

 

And he was wearing a particularly sheer pair of tights last night, most camp he was
