Irregular Wars Wargaming

And there we have it - the first appearance of Irregular Wars Wargaming at a gaming convention. It was a big effort getting every ready for the weekend, but Gaelcon 38 in Dublin was a blast!  Saturday saw demos of Devilry Afoot and playtests of Wargears , while Sunday was given over to Ilium: A Game of Heroes and Fantastic Scuffles . Across the weekend I met a load of great people and had lots of good chats. The organising committee were really helpful despite being pulled in all directions, and I have to give a huge shout out to Andy T who drove down to Dublin to support me on Sunday and was the best wingman money can't buy. We had a simple Devilry Afoot scenario set up where the hunters were repeatedly savaged by ghouls and a werewolf. It was perhaps already challenging enough before the revenant emerged from the grave... Multiple Wargears races were played, with different winners each time - always a good sign of balance! We didn't get too many games of Ilium played - b...

This coming weekend I'll be heading off to Dublin for my first gaming convention as Irregular Wars Wargames, running demo games at Gaelcon 38 , Ireland’s oldest independent gaming convention, hosted by The Irish Games Association (IGA). On Saturday 24th October I'll be running demonstration/participation games of Devilry Afoot and Wargears, while Sunday 25th October will see Ilium a Game of Heroes and Fantastic Scuffles on the tabletop. The convention is being held in the Crown Plaza Northwood. I'll be in the Redwood with the trading stalls both days, so if you are in the area, why not drop in for a chat? If the postman is kind to me, I might have a few wee goodies to give to participants as well... Also - until next Monday evening, there is an active 10% off discount code at IrregularWars.com .

After a bit of a hiatus, here is the third shieldwall unit for my 10mm Romano-British army, built for  Fantastic Battles . I have tried to build this unit to represent the levy of a tribal chiefdom/kingdom using the Pendraken Late Roman Saxon militia and Medieval Welsh spearmen to give a beardy, round shieldy vibe.    Here's where we're at to date. Once again, slow progress, but progress none-the-less. I have a few more characters, another cavalry unit and some skirmishing archers to do for the 1,000 point army I intended, but will also re-base some of my older Early Medieval stuff to give more options.

It's October once again and the nights are drawing in se we've just released a new FREE expansion for Devilry Afoot - just in time for Halloween. Find them at https://irregularwars.com/pages/downloads The Pack & Coven expansion allows players to create entire parties of hunters who are either part of a werewolf pack or a coven of secret witches. Along side a rack of new rules to support packs and covens, the expansion also includes rules for bogs, will-o'the-wisps, and fairy gentlemen.
