I was cleaning my basement (again) after remodeling our bathroom. I also bought a card table to use in my wargame room, so it was set up to see how much room it used. Next thing one of my Elastolin castles was brought down and a quick duel game was played out using the Les Higgins duelists and Donald Featherstone's dueling rules. For the rules instead of cards, I used dice.

| The duelists fight it out in the castles courtyard. |
 |
| The dragoon has pushed Vincent Price to the tower top. I broke the castle down into different zones. As they suffered a wound, they would retreat one zone. Vincent is down to his last wound. |
 |
| Vincent suffers his last wound, and falls over the parapet to the cobblestones below! |

| The start of the game, where Vincent tried to hold the dragoon from the open courtyard. |
Great to see the Elastolin castle in action too.

After using the castle, I started thinking of using it with Caesar Fantay figures. It's a nice model that needs to see the light of day more.
DeleteVery cinematic John! Looks like it was lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun game. As I seem to be short on gaming time, I really have to start playing these short games.
DeleteThis looks great fun - such good looking buildings. I have a small Elastolin castle too.
ReplyDeleteI saw on Facebook someone redid their Elastolin castle, repainting it and adding some features to it. I would love to try on this castle, but really don't want to ruin it.
DeleteLooks like a great and fun game with a minimum of resources and time to set it up.
ReplyDeleteI have one more Les Higgins duelist to paint. Maybe I'll paint him up and get him involved.
