Oh yes! The hosts have gathered, the table is set, and one day this week I plan to play the game using the revived Rough Wooing rules since they are close to the Gathering of Hosts rules and cover basically the same general troop types and weapons. The fewer rule sets I have to remember, and tinker with, the better!
The following is a direct copy of today's post on my Gathering of Hosts blog.
-----------------------------------
Rumours are constant on the frontier. Few are true but none can be ignored so the garrison at Eastford has been on alert for a week. A call for reinforcements has gone out, and mounted patrols of the river have been doubled. Then one day.....

| Alarm! Enemy in sight! |
The local frontier garrisons are used to small raiding parties but this looks like an army marching towards them. The men peer over the palisade and some could be seen clenching their fists, shaking them and then opening them like men throwing bones in a tavern while muttering: "Lady Luck be with us".

Lady Luck needs to look like some hairy heavy infantry coming to the rescue!
ReplyDeleteNary a one within 3 day's march but then the raiders didn't bring any either.
Deletewhoo! THe only thing missing here is, "It was a dark and stormy night...."
ReplyDelete(Is that a clothesline post or a tree burning inside the palisade?)
Does it have to be just 1 of those?
DeleteAnother photo filled with elements ready to draw us into the game and the world it creates.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alan
DeleteNext up on the card, plaid vs. plate!
ReplyDeletehmmm, Not a plaid in sight I'm afraid, too far to the east. Not a lot of plate either come to think of it, but a little bit here and there perhaps, one never knows what part time soldiers will show up in!
