Hairfoot Jousting - game one The Pipe Downs.


A beer and pretzels type game.  To be honest I just wanted to paint the miniatures but once done I thought I might as well try out the rules.

The Teams

The Crumblewick Jousters

Team Captain: Dildo Shaggins
Mount: sheep (soft)
Cookpot, rolling pin

Bingo Bumfoot
Mount : Dog (energetic)
Felt hat and broomstick

Ponto Puddles
Mount: Goose (Aggressive)
Stick.


The South Meadow Thistles

Team Captain: The Gaffer


The Gaffer, Mount: Turkey (bouncy)
Walking stick

Nobby Pailhat
Mount Pig ((Deliberate)

Rumpo Rumpfoot, Mount Giant Weasel helmet and fence post.

The Game



The thistles start with a charge into one of the fences, earning an endurance loss each.  The mounts are difficult to control.

Bingo runs a tilt at the target and avoids the swinging sand bag

Nobbys mount blunders into getting tilted by the Bingo

But Bingo loses a tilt to the Gaffer.
Ponto tilts the target dummy, but gets whacked by the sandbag

Rumpo delivers a fine triple tilt on Bingo and that's -4 endurance.  

Out of nowhere Ponto gets a good run on the Gaffer 7 Vs 4 and -3 endurance.  Crumblewick make a comeback.


Shaggins on his sheep collides with Bingo, but the sheep is "soft" so no endurance loss.

But both Crumblewick team members get hit by that damn clever weasel, Bingo is knocked off and retires.

Leaving Shaggins to face two Meadow Thistles.  He loses three more endurance, leaving him on one.  Game pretty much over.

The end as the Gaffer comes in full tilt and knocks the sheep over.  Job done.

A win for the South Meadow
