An early Tudor battle at BLAM - pics and report

[Ray Earle]

Lovely looking game.  Some stunning figures there as well.

A Lion Rampant convert then Richard?

Well, that's only the second time I've played it, Ray, but I do quite like it.
Maybe I'll buy a copy

Great looking game gents.

An absolutely beautiful looking game gents.

Nice to see my own local Lord (Rhys ap Thomas) getting in on the action too!

[Arlequín]

Truly excellent game featuring two amazing collections. It sounds like LR stepped up to the plate too (see what I did there  ).

You've also demonstrated that there's a lot more to Medieval battles than just "lining 'em up and slogging it out". Top job! 

[Stuart]

If you're interested in Rhys ap Thomas and / or Wales in the Tudor period get yourself a copy of 'the man who killed Richard III' it's fascinating.

[Captain Blood]

Thanks Stuart. That's a book recommendation I will definitely be following up on.

Well worth it Richard, it's a very fluent game and a lot of fun

Played this game and loved it, good scenario and terrain and stunning figures. Still got my arse kicked though but in style .

Busy day, so just found this post. Many thanks to Richars for the great pics and kind words on the game. Thanks for all who played and stuck with Stuart and i's learning-as-we-go re the rules. We both spend time painting and converting our respective collections, but don't play much.
Compared to other BLAM games, it looked a little spartan - however hopefully it met the remit of a 2 hour 'skirmish with a goal' game in a period which others weren't doing?
Great fun and nice to meet new folk from the forum.
Stuart and I will try and come up with something for next time.

Simon, I thought you're table looked rather nice. The grassboards were very effective. I meant to ask what they were as it didn't look like standard grass mats. I forgot though in our haste to run down the English!

[Stuart]

Richard I hope you don't mind, I have copied your words and excellent composition as well as a load of background stuff;

Thanks again

[Captain Blood]

No problem at all. Feel free 

[Driscoles]

A joy to watch.
Iam probably not the only one who was tempted to get the minis.
Thats the way to keep the wargaming and hobby industry alive

Elk101 -
The boards were made by Keith at Realistic Modelling Services - he's now recently retired. So a couple of them have been added by me, tricky to get them to exactly match in, but they look Ok with figures etc laid on top.
Cheers
