Battle in Bed: Coughalot page 2

(But don't be afraid, no one is going to wish you to have to stay in bed, as this would be too selfish. No, honestly. Trust me...)

 

I must say that I've never played like that before. No time for that. All these minis to paint, those scenery to build, rules to read before learning them.... 

Cheers

Always sick. I had made some terrain board intended for small size figures (10mm) some years ago. As I’m too sick to use rulers and count fractions of millimetres, those boards were obviously the right choice for a bed-top wargame.

Rule used: D’Estoc & de Taille, written in filthy french (and more filthy english) and intended to be played with highly detailed miniatures wonderfully painted but too big for the board. Some 15mm minis can do the work. For those interested and enough foolhardy, those home rules are here: https://teardropworlds.wordpress.com/category/med-fan/

Once upon a time in the land of Coughalot…

Game preparation, characters sheets and custom dices. Four boards of 20x20cm are assembled.



The Goods, from left to right: Tartarin – Soldier, Homlet du Fromage – Knight, Marcel la Poisse – Sergeant



the Bads: Chakracrap – Sergeant, Karmabad – Knight, Alkolseltzer – Soldier



First fight. Chakracrap fails his attack against Homlet, who respond instantly with a strike to Chakracrap’s head



Chakracrap lose check one box on his head, one box on his Courage gauge, and lose one point in Attack and Defense



Karmabad come to the rescue and give a very strong sweep with his sword: Homlet du Fromage screams, his left arm deeply cutted



Homlet check three boxes on his left arm, his Defense is reduced from 12 to 9. A such of painful wound hurt his determination and his Courage gauge take three checks!



Next round. Marcel la Poisse attack Karmabad, hoping to help his master, but fail his attack test. Karmabad quickly retaliate and kill Marcel la Poisse.



One more round. Karmabad hurt Homlet a little. To the head.



The Attack and Defense are lowering, the Courage gauge is almost fully checked. Homlet du Fromage is baked!



Homlet du Fromage bravely flee from the battlefield, followed by Tartarin



but Alkolseltzer chase the courageous knight for a stroke in the back, but he fail his test of le Nom: Homlet du Fromage renown scares the sergeant who cannot fight.



Tartarin make a last stand to help the escape of his master, he is wounded at the torso



Karmabad and his bad guys laughs at Homlet, they won the battle!



Funnier to play than telling the report.
Hope you like it

Cheers

Love your dry tongue firmly in cheek comments - great looking game and thank you for the link to the rules. Bows and crossbows weapons of cowards - indeed. You seem to be getting more games played in bed then many of us get out of bed. So I think its off to bed with me...
