Irregular Wars: Conflict at the World's End at Targe Wargames Show

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.

A hearty congratulations to all involved! Pictured above - bearing the targes - are Sholto (who built the table) and Carlos (who built and converted the armies from various sources).
