Shinigami’s forces – Colonial Brits and VikingsBaron Samedi’s forces – El Cid Spanish and Spanish Guerillas The forces deployedThe Vikings get closeThe Brits take pot shotsThe Spanish lack the speed through the ruins to counter the Vikings and may be hung out to dryBut their archers fare better, rushing a low wall and killing two VikingsThe Viking charge was somewhat ineffectual, but the Brits did manage to catch a Guerilla in the bushesThe Guerillas returned the favour with a lucky musket ballAs the Knights began to clear out the VikingsThe Brits make a dash from the cover of the wall, but fail to do much even with rifles and bayonetsAnother group of Brits fare better however, providing some support fire for the stranded Viking in the ruinsAnd out on the flank, move Vikings go toe to toe with GuerillasA devastating round saw many Brits fallAnd the last Viking in the ruins run throughThen the remnants of Shinigami’s forces began to flee, and the victor was obvious.
A Hooks Farm scrap between Colonial Brits/Vikings and El Cid Spanish/guerrillas already sounds like the kind of mismatched historical mashup that makes narrative wargames fun. I run Colony Flow, a guide site for an ant colony puzzle game, and I like battles where the terrain and force mix matter more than raw points.
