"So Convenient for Hewing at Historicon" Topic

Howdy,

Two games planned.

1) Two Villages, a Frontier Skirmish – 1774
Friday, 8pm – 4 hours, 4 players

During Lord Dunmore's War, Virginia militia marched on the Ohio Frontier to attack Shawnee Villages. The game portrays the woodland fighting as a column of rangers and militia approach two villages. Played with 25mm figures using the Musket Mod for "So Convenient for Hewing."

2) Foraging 1066
Saturday, 10am – 4 hours, 4 players

Prior to the Battle of Hastings two foraging parties, one Saxon and one Norman, clash as they seek food and forage in a nearby village. Red battle in the south of England; a Dark Age game played using "So Convenient for Hewing."

Ponder on,

JAS

Howdy,

Photo below from a playtest of Foraging 1066 from last Saturday (5/21).

The Saxons won.

Normans: 2 pillage points (VPs) – 3 dead knights, 2 dead crossbowmen, 2 dead spearman --- with 1 knight captured

Saxons: 4 pillage points – 4 dead Thegns, 2 dead Fyrd

It was a fun game. At one point in the game the Saxons came within a pip of routing one of the knight units. Close but no weo.

FYI – The red and blue markers are simply used to identify units for those not familiar with the rules. Those markers are not typically used in the game.

Ponder on,
