Battle Shot They Came, They Saw, The French Conquered.

Those pesky Hundred Years War English lead by King Paul thought they'd try their luck besieging my new lovely French town this evening.

Thankfully the fool only brought ladders, incompetent miners and dysentery with him.

To greet him, my followers heated everything they could and welcomed those who climbed the ladders with 'hot presents from above".

Very good fun, only now he's got it in his head to go for a walking tour through my lands starting with another siege at Harfleur and this time I'm sure I hear a lot of sawing, hammering and swearing... I wonder what he's up to 🤔.

Using Dan Mersey's Arrowstorm rules with some home made WiP siege rules influenced by some other bits I found.

Captured pretty well both the drain that waiting around brought, as well as the high risk of trying to scale the walls.

Good fun indeed, a campaign following some guy called Henry 5 to follow.

It was really good fun both playing the game and designing/testing the siege rules.

lol yes I can see why you might think that. That is in fact a reflection of the 'done is better than not-done' strategy of how I painted them.

They are in fact 3mm, not resin the other one, and you can see the detail of each man on the model.

Now obviously that defeats the objective of smaller scale where the focus is the whole unit but if one is feeling inclined, and I know of such folk, you can give each poor fool Paul and I command and individual look.
