A busy Saturday at club with lots of Friends happily chucking dice, shoving lead and drinking tea! The three games were all relatively unusual for FOGH and one being a first run out for a collection.
28mm Napoleonic Skirmish In the Peninsula 1811 – Sharpe Chosen Action (!)
First time out of the box for this collection of everyone’s favourite Riflemen, their friends and enemies. The rules are mainly based on Osprey Games’ Chosen Men, but have been hacked, much like Dr. Frankenstein’s monster, with favourites bits from other rule sets. Can you guess which?! In a scenario that surprised no one, Major Hogan had to be rescued by a crack force of Allied soldiers and Guerrillas before the dastardly French could eliminate him. Sadly for the Allies, this would not have made a good TV episode as all of the heroes under performed and Hogan was captured!
28mm Italian Wars – Warlord Games Pike & Shotte
Lances were broken, pikes were shattered and much outrageous clothing was worn in this Italian Wars extravaganza. The French, with their superior Gendarmes and much vaunted mercenaries Swiss, were tested against a doughty Italian force including many militia. The Italians resisted everything thrown against them despite the loss of much of their militia. The eventual outcome was a draw with both sides close to exhaustion.
Start Trek Spaceship Game – Home-brew Rules
The Klingons were on the starboard bow and phasers were certainly not on stun in this 24th century clash in space. Two games were played. In the first the Cardassians took on the Klingons. Following much bad dice rolling / not enough Qapla the Klingons were defeated. In the second game the Jem’Hadar ambushed one Captan Picard in the Enterprise. In an epic battle both sides were reinforced but the Feds came out on top – hoorah for Picard!
Great post
