Today I was determined to get a wargame in. As the day went on I somehow fell behind with getting the work around the house done. By the time work was done, I had little time to set up a game. Then I thought of a skirmish game. In the past I have used a set of rules from Lone Warrior called "Dinowars" by Mike Crane. The rules were made for kids using two dinosaurs fight to the death. I have used them before for single combat. For this game it was going to be two knights battling. I had set up a couple of pieces of Heroscape to test with the recently purchased bridge, so that would be the battlefield. The battle was fought between a local prince and a rogue knight. The knight managed to inflect two wounds to the prince, the prince only one. After a while with no decision, I called the game for the knight. The game started to drag and I ended it. Hopefully with the coming lousy weather more time can be spent on wargaming. Perhaps it's time to look at the Hyborian Wars again.

The knight, having wounded the prince twice and forced him back over the bridge is declared the winner.
I still haven't found my camera and used my wife's. A good excuse for bad photos. |
