Premiere of my Scots Covenanters - Friday Night Game

Quick post today - heading off to the famous Enchanted Forest with wife and friends this afternoon. Record release party for Wyrd War productions and a concert with Danava! AT ENCHANTED FOREST!! Awesome.

Anyways...

Spencer wanted to try out his semi-home-brew of what we are calling Pikes Rampant. It's an X Rampant rule-set that he modded for smaller ECW games. We'd done some blue vs. red demos and last night he wanted to see if it'd work for a 4 player game.

Also, it was the first game for my Covenanters. The game worked well, Spencer and I being "two generals" each. Using a Lion Rampant scenario the game was a draw and a lot of fun.Got it done in a bit over 3 hours. Pretty good for 4 armies on the table.







Edit July 11:
Check out Spencer's blog D.D. Tinzeroes and his view (and better pics) of the same game.

  1. Are the Pikes Rampant rules variants posted somewhere?

    1. This post has the variant unit profiles included. Otherwise all you need is the figs and a copy of the Lion Rampant rules.

  2. It's a quasi-home-brew by Spencer. We pulled heavily from Arlequin's World Blog though:
