Just wrapped up a great playtest for the Bushy Run game with One Hour Skirmish Wargames. Since there were only two of us, we kind of left a few of the units untested, but got enough good ideas for the game later this month at our annual Boeing Museum of Flight game day. Gave the natives the incentive to attack with the Special Capability of Bruiser. This gave them an extra draw card for both attack and defense. It was brutal, they ended up killing off enough of the Rangers and Highland Grenadiers that had both units fail their Morale tests at the end of turns. Plan to give the Grenadiers this trait for the next game. The natives also had the Fast capability of an additional 3" of movement. Otherwise, another good day with the rules.
Natives have the Bruiser trait getting to draw the best of 3 attack cards to the defending Grenadiers 1 card.
Rangers and 60th Lights about to get the same Bruiser treatment. Cover doesn't give them another card during close combat - only for shooting. Note: the Grenadiers in the background are already dead.
Glad you had a successful trial game, Dean, although I am a bit disappointed the Scots got such a drubbing! Fingers crossed for the Boeing event 🙏 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith. The Grenadiers should hold their own next time after giving them the same Bruiser combat trait. I should've mentioned I ran the British, and consistently drew weak cards. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteUnleash the dogs of war! Dean your dog always cracks me up when he pops into your photos.
ReplyDeleteDude you’ve got your painting and mounting down to a science. It’s amazing how many figures you can push out.
Cheers

Thanks for your kind words, Kevin. Much appreciated. The nice thing with these rules is the small number of figures needed. Indeed, too many figures works against it. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteReally nice speed game Dean!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michal! Yes, it does move along quickly - especially hand to hand combat. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteGreat looking game. Glad that it seemed to go well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Richard. Yes, it went well, although only two players (one being me), we still came out with some good ideas for the actual game. Kindest regard, Dean
DeleteNice looking battle as always, Dean! Dog should be the best plaayer, I sure...
