Predictably the action commenced with a mad dash for the chapel. Above we see Sir Thomas accompanied by his long pole-wielding retainer while ahead of them are Sir Simon (aka the mad axeman) and his sword waving sidekick. Both left their archers to snipe at targets of opportunity.
At the other end of the chapel we can see Sir Mark and his spearman while closer to the camera are Sir Martin and his axe-wielding underling.
Simon and Tom soon got stuck in and not only did Simon seem to be getting the better of the close combat...
...but he also had Tom's archer on the ground and bleeding profusely!
In the ruins Mark (with white shield) and Martin set to. The lady's scarf can be seen at the shrine - tantalizingly close!
Mark's archer had meanwhile wounded Martin's arrow twanger and the axeman was sent to deal with the trouble. He failed and Mark's archer ran off.
Jerry's chaps were late to the fray - he sadly couldn't join us and I kept forgetting to activate them!
Tom and Simon continue to slug it out.
By now Martin has grabbed the scarf and Mark's spearman lies dead.
This ended the Tuesday session - here is an overview.

Fantastic pictures Tim- viewing the figures through zoom doesn't do them the justice they deserve.
Cheers,

Excellent pictures, very exciting and action packed!
I think I saw the movie version of this once, wasn't as good as this full colour version.
It is all very colourful and I never cease to be amazed by the variety of 54mm figures available these days. The layout of the ruined Chapel was very clever as it introduced some additional decision making (although running in as fast as possible and killing everyone inside seemed to be a good approach)

I try to remember to take photos each turn - and as the County Executioner I know how keen you are on justice....

Very much 'cinematic' rather then strictly 'historical' gaming!

If I thought I could get away with black & white the painting would be a lot quicker!

Many of these figures are no longer available new. Very much case of 'buy it when you see it'.. And well done on your subtle appraisal of the tactical situation.
Rough and Tumble fun in a glorious Knightly fashion

All were rough, but only some tumbled!
