A pictorial report of our recent game playing the Peat Ship of Breda raid, a famous episode (at least in the Netherlands) of the Dutch Revolt.
Fabulous table by Patrick "Pats Laser Cuttings" Diederiks and Anton Boot. Figures painted by Julius van Roemburg and yours truly. Scenario and peat ship model by me.
Scenario and additional rules for Pikeman's Lament are published in Wargames Soldiers & Strategy magazine nr 93, now available.

Hi, I saw your link to this on LAF.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent report, beautiful buildings and a great looking game overall. Thanks for sharing!
Simply outstanding terrain - well done to all!
ReplyDeleteLooks brilliant, with fantastic buildings and terrain and figures ... all so evocative of the period. But what in the world are those shiny yellow circles?
ReplyDeleteI'll have to look up the Peat Ship story, because (although my parents are Dutch) I've never heard it! Sods intriguing ...
The yellow circles are light circles made by lanterns. The raid took place at night and the scenario allowed for sentries and limited visibility.
DeleteOh, that makes sense, now you explain it. Intriguing idea!

ReplyDeleteImpressive setup! I was trying to follow your article in WSS but had no idea on the scale of the game. This blog will be quite helpful. Thanks!
