The Smugglers of Dr Syn

 A quick test of the Blood and Steel rules for an Eighteenth Century skirmish game.


Lady Baggshotte admires the size of the Reverends smuggled column.

And our model for her ladyship.


Granville de Piffle and his Dragoons arrive, to put a stop to the Smugglers trade.

A covered approach through the woods.   The fire from the Smugglers is poor.

But the Dragoons deliver a nice volley and Charge 

The fight at the wall.  I handle Granville separately.

Granville pursues the routed Smugglers, but the Reverend and his men fire off there pieces, hitting his horse. 

The Reverend flees the scene, his gang more or less intact.

And de Piffle is found astride a piglet, having been thrown from his now wounded horse.  I fear Granville is not the Officer we need to sort this all out.

A good little game, and the mechanisms stood up to the test.  Larger scale next time.
