French Spy

A monkey for some light hearted pirate games.

More Cutlass! game photos

A few more photo's taken from Thursdays' game on Rob's camera.

Cutlass

This week at the ELMS club I decided to break out Cutlass! from Black Scorpion Miniatures. It was a chance to give the rules a whirl as they've been sat on my shelf for a long time without use (Strange Grogge being my preferred piratical ruleset).

We ended up having an extra player due to a last minute drop out elsewhere, so I volunteered to umpire and let Niel and Rob play.













We played a basic skirmish out of the rulebook with start-up gangs and it went pretty well. The dreaded 8 vs 1 AU roll that I'd read about happened, but it didn't effect the game too much, but it did leave one player with very little to do for 15mins or so, which is a shame. Not sure if it'd need balancing or not - time will tell.








both players enjoyed the game, as did I, so I expect we might see it again soon.

Dwarf Pirates

Finally finished painting the last of these. I painted the majority of them a few years ago and they've seen a bit of action playing Strange Grogge at the Oxford club before I moved.
