Herding Cats or The Story of running a large pirate game at BLAM
« on: 12 October 2015, 11:08:02 PM »
This is just a place holder for the moment sorry not had a chance to sort out my photos or thoughts on what went on during the day when 16 or 17 BLAMers got together to play a large pirate game with 16 or 17 ships four town  and a pirate treasure island. Maddness :o :o :o :o
If anyone else has photos or comments to add don't resist and do it.

I had a great time playing this. Our table was utter carnage and we loved it! Many thanks to Gamer Mac and AndyM for organising this and having patience with us all.

A shot across the ships in port at the former Spanish island, now under the management of the Pirate Collective.

Is that a shot of the pirate committee Steve? ;)

Thanks to everyone who played and especially dug out miniatures and ships for people to use!

Ps. Is running a 16 pirate game supposed to be that stressful? ;) lol

Yes,  that's the Pirate Committee on shore shortly before Grimm's British Navy ship rammed the dockside! The Spanish Governor saw a good business opportunity and the Pirate flag was run up.

Just to mention...

I WON!!!

:D

I'm not called Captain Blood for nothing, shipmates - yarrrr!

(Actually, I was playing the Royal Navy along with Eric The Shed and Grimm... Turns out it was a lot easier to kill pirates and sink their ships than to sack towns and collect treasure! lol)

Congratulations to Colin and Andy for taking it on... It's stressful enough running an exhibition game for 4 or 5 people, never mind almost 20 people! You have the patience of saints  ;)

Wonder who they belonged too?  ::)
