It's been a while since my last post due to a heavier workload in June - as well as my 83 year old mom stopping by for a visit last weekend. The weather here in the Pacific NW has been very hot too - 80's and 90's F, and not conducive to painting and such pursuits. In spite of all this, I've been meaning to follow-up on the previous post with a Lion Rampant game based on the Battle of Worringen. So without further ado, here are a few teaser pics of the table just set up - in the living room with the only A/C.

the outskirts of Worringen to their right. A tributary of the Rhine
behind them. Walram of Julich and Adolf of Berg accompany the Duke of Brabant. |
My buddy Kimo and I will play out this scenario on Saturday. One thing I became aware of was the need for a few more pieces of Medieval terrain. I had to resort to using an Empire watch tower to spruce up the table.

Here is a map which the table is loosely based upon.
An AAR will be posted after the game.
Great to see your LR collection on the table, and that GW watchtower is actually not bad at all. Hope you guys will have a great game tomorrow!

DeleteI await your game replay with interest!
ReplyDeleteIt has been very hot on the eastern side of the state for far too long. We have been hanging between 95-100F! On Thursday's afternoon cycling, road temps were 100+ for the duration.
Luckily, most homes have A/C throughout.
Appreciate the interest, Jonathan. 100's - wow! and cycling too - sounds like quite a feat. I suppose A/C is a fact of life during the summer there. Warm (Hot?) Regards, Dean
DeleteNice intro. Looking forward to reading the AAR :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Simon! Regards, Dean
