With the castle in the back ground the battle was fought over a small town out in front.
The objective was to capture the three buildings that make up the town and hold on to them. There was bound to be something of interest inside them.
Both sides started at the table edges and advanced towards the centre.
Both sides had their problems with activations.
After a couple of moves the archers were beginning to open fire.
From there it all went down hill for the side that I was on.
The mounted Knights wasted no time in dispatching these foot troops.
The whole battle soon became a rather one sided affair.
With the result being rather obvious these guys decided to save their skins and headed for the table edge.

Below are a couple of photos for Darrell from Just Add Water .
These are Perry 28mm plastic figures. Hopefully they give a good indication of the scale difference between 28mm fig's and the 1/72 scale castle.
Above and below figures very nicely painted by Bradders!

As a result I am now the very proud owner of this wonderful duo painted by the talented Nate himself.
Thanks very much Nate.
If you haven't already I can most certainly recommend visiting Nate's and Darrell's blogs.
Cool looking game
ReplyDeleteThanks for the bat rep and great photos Rodger. A nice looking table and lovely figs. I bought Lion Rampant for my Kindle and think it has promise. I must drag my medieval figs out and try LR once I move.
ReplyDeleteLove your prize figures. Nate does nice work. I'm pretty sure I've seen that couple at my gym!
Best,
Michael
Looks like a great game!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures Rodger, and this castle is impressive!
ReplyDeleteAh, the castle is a wonderful and fitting centerpiece for this fine game. Good to see it in action with such lovely figures and a favorite rule set.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you got trounced, but at least you got beaten whilst playing on such a lovely table.
ReplyDeleteThe figures you won are stunning. It would be nice to see work that good in person to study how they did it.
Thanks Anne, I have been studying Nate's brushwork, and very good it is too!

Fantastic looking table Rodger. Your castle is very impresive. Now I need one too.
ReplyDeleteLike Christopher, yet to play Lion Rampant but looks like you had a great game. The scale of the castle probably works better than 28mm as would dominate a lot more of the table. Its a fantastic back drop for the game.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking game. The castle is a great feature and what a great bunch of painted figures.
