Wanting to entertain the boys having traveled many hours, I took the time late night to set up another small game for the morning after breakfast before we set off for the local hobby store (opening late at noon)
(for other games played during "Dougfest" see previous posts)
I picked a recent personal favourite in the Canadian Northwest Rebellion of 1885. The scenario was simple. Each player had two units of infantry to approach and protect a wagon abandoned previously from opposite directions. The enemy Metis had predetermined ambush points. We played with the "Men Who Would Be Kings" rules.
Fun little affair. I played the Metis who were given ammuntion restrictions, the single threat to James's contingent fired their one shot and then departed! He was slightly delayed with one unit who had to deal with them....
the other Metis group had more shots and forced one of Seth's green/black-clad Rifle units to continually fail their morale and fall back. But the wagon was saved and the newspapers back home rejoiced in the "great victory"
Hi Doug. Wrong post to comment on, i know, but are there any ways for a humble blog reader such as myself to get a copy of your GdC Napoleonic rules? They look right up my alley!
ReplyDeleteAnother nice little action and I really do like the look of your Crown forces in this era!
