It would appear that the good folk at the Aberdeen Wargames Club have been at it again, hosting another participation game of one of my rule sets, this time Irregular Wars: Conflict at the World's End at the Targe Wargames show (hosted by Kirriemuir Wargames Club).
The game was based on the Battle of Craibstone, fought in 1571 between the Forbes and the Gordons, part of the Marian Civil War. Craibstone was just outside medieval Aberdeen (since completely built over).
One spectator at the battle was a certain Elizabethan courtier and his associates. No doubt he was visiting his Aberdonian fish-salesman cousin when hostilities broke out ...
Not only did their table look amazing, but Aberdeen only went on to win both of the show prizes!
- The Targe: awarded for the best club display. This was the result of a vote by all the attending clubs and groups.
- The Crann Tara Targe: awarded to the best Scottish themed game or game with Scottish figures. This was the result of a vote by members of Kirriemuir Wargames Club - the hosts of the event.
I played the game and very much enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it David!
ReplyDeleteSholto and I had a lot of fun running it. And are, of course, chuffed to bits to have won both targes.
And my compliments to Nick for such flexible and enjoyable rules!
Congratulation. Great looking game. Do you have more information on the battle and the figures used? We’ve been playing IW with our Vendel Border Reiver figures. We’d love some historical scenarios to try out. They look great on that basing too.

Bill, Carlos was good enough to send me a bit of information on the scenario and special rules they used. If you use to contact form on this page to drop me a message, I can forward the info on.
