Over the weekend the Rejects assembled in the Shed-o-War for an excellent and very exciting Wars of the Roses game using Stuart's 28mm collection of figures. Ray and Steve were the Yorkst commanders and faced off against Richard, myself, and Surjit as the Lancastrian commanders. This time, rather than posting lots of pictures I thought I would try making a short video of the game. It's not by any means a full report of the action, but will hopefully convey the excitement of the action.

Lol. Bloody brilliant video Lee!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray. I may do something like this again for games in the shed-o-war. I'm happy with how the video turned out, but I can see a dozen different ways to improve on it (first of which, use the right colour correction settings on my camera!! π€¦♂️). I felt a bit sorry for you guys - not enough to call it a draw of course - the dice gods were just smiling on us in the end.
DeleteEntertaining viewing Lee. We won because deployment, luck and execution were all eventually on our side.... though it took a while to arrive!
ReplyDeleteSnatching victory from the jaws of defeat. The best sort of win really.
