Greetings…
A few weeks ago a few of us (Alan, Michael, Nick, John and myself) went round to Rick’s house and wargames palace for a game of Pike and Shot using Nicks fine collection of 1672 Franco-Dutch War toys and the Epic Pike and Shot Rules…
Various things … both fun and irritating seem to have got in the way of me posting about this fine game… I of course say “ fine game “ because I was on the winning side…for a change 😁.
I did a wonderful flank move… Yup!…. Spent most of the game marching… Which is probably why we were victorious 🤣.
Somewhere in the Netherlands…
My beautiful brave and glorious flank marchers…
Some villainous types… I painted some of these… And some of the buildings… But I am still going to shoot them if I can 😁.
Some lovely French hikers going for a peaceful walk in the Dutch countryside…Honest.
It would appear that the villainous enemy are also flankers…😳.
They are rather pretty…
Our brave troops show the Dutch how they can lie down and pretend to be dead … Thus distracting them from the fact that I am slowly sneaking around their flank…
It looks like it worked…
The enemy put pressure on our centre…And you can just see our glorious men bracing themselves for the Dutch flanking move ( That sounds like a football term… Or a country dance 😁)
I honestly can’t remember what they were up to… But it was clearly glorious.
The enemy brace themselves for my (slow🙄) onslaught…
It took a while…But the gun eventually hit something… I think it might have been John.
The action heats up on my flank and despite being well dug in the town’s defenders start to take casualties…
My ability to hit anything hadn’t improved by much…But my saves were well above average.
Meanwhile on the other side of the battlefield ( Under another windmill… It is Holland ) some hot shooting action goes on…
