This coming Saturday, the Gentlemen Pensioners will once again be putting on a game for the Lance & Longbow Society at the Phalanx Show run by the the St Helens Spartans. Our game will be a fictional encounter from the period of the Crusades ( c 1095-1291) and is a participation game, so if you are attending the show, please feel free to drop by and perhaps join in. We use our own version of the 'Lion Rampant' rules by Dan Mersey; all you will need to play is contained on a single A5 sheet.
A few photos of our trial run.

We played through the game twice and each side had a victory, so hopefully that means that the game is fairly evenly balanced! Many thanks to Bob, David and Steve for helping with the playtesting.
A nice show and a nice table. Overall, I thought it a bit quieter than last year.
ReplyDeleteHello Norm, Thank you for your comment on our game. Yes we thought it was a bit quieter too.
