A Trial Game .


With the absence of my wife and dog on a scent training day (for the dog not my wife), after I had finished the list of jobs she had left me, I thought I would try out my new gaming cloth . This was made from a 2'x2' piece of 'teddy bear' fur sprayed green and has been designed for the Song Of Blades And Heroes rules with my 15mm figures .


Gorthe of the Northemen and his Druide advance past the Sacred Pool of Life to attack Conan and his warband.


Conan's Warband hurl abuse at the Northemen.


Battle is joined ! (the trees are from an Aquarium shop) .


The Northemen are defeated and the survivor's flee the wrath of Conan ! . The game only took about half an hour and the rules worked well and are easy to learn . This has encourage me to paint up some more of the very nice 15mm Copplestone figures . I'm going to take this game to play on our weekend away at the Reading Wargame show in November.

    Are you sure that the teddy bear fur wasn't meant for the scent training day? I hope you're not in trouble...

    They look excellent. I can hear the Basil Poledoris soundtrack already.

    New cloth could double as Conan's underpants. Great game. There are some very good skull mountains available for aquariums which look brilliant as Frazetta style Conan terrain

    I've got a couple of these (there are 3 different) to paint up for my old school Hyborian games.
