Here are some pictures and details on the scenario for the demo game we done at Claymore. As with most games at shows we never got much gaming as there was alot of chatting with friends other gamers. We will be getting anoother game very soon where we can play it out fully.
Scenario:
Skirmish at
Lord Richard (Dick) Rasch’s Farm
June 1644
Today’s
game is brought to by The Wargaming Society of Contemptible Bastards. It’s a
fictional small scale skirmish that took place at the Farm of Lord Richard
Rasch or Dick to his friends in the year of our Lord 1644.
Whenever
you think of the English Civil War battles you think of Marston Moor, Naesby
and Edgehill. Winning Grand battles like these are what win you the Wars but
between these large scale battles there is all the smaller scales battles that
are going on all over the country.
The Solemn
League and Covenant has been besieging the Great City of York but rumours are
afoot that the Dreaded Prince Rupert of Rhine is gathering a force in the North
East, which will come to relieve the besieged forces of the Marquis of
Newcastle in the City.
Reconnaissance
has come to the Covenanter Commander that a nearby Yorkshire Farm belonging to
the devout Royalist Lord Dick Rasch has a stockpile of powder and arms. Lord
Rasch has been collecting this cache on behalf of Prince Rupert and the Prince
is on his way to collect the stockpile with the intention of relieving the
siege at York and then making battle with the Allied forces.
The Earl of
Leven concerned by this Intel sends a small forces to raid the farm and to take
the powder for his own forces and put the Royalist Lord Dick Rasch to the sword
for his defying his God and his Parliament.
What will
the Covenant and Parliament forces find when they reach the Farm???
Who will
you cheer for…..the Forces of God and Parliament or Charles Stuart King of England, Scotland
and Ireland?
