Witchin' Hour. Searching for clues. Scenario 2

 The Witchfinder sent a party of mercenaries (3) and townsfolk (3) out to search the area for evidence after hearing the reports of the villagers.

Only the bowman had armour. The spearman had a shield. All the others had none so as to increase their numbers.

A Witch (1) formed a party of cultist henchmen (4) to hide any evidence of their activity in the area. 

The Witch took the spells Shield and Bind feet. 

The henchmen had the armour previously listed

We sent a group out from the security of the village to investigate the area further. It being thought there was safety in numbers.

They came a cross a derelict church and found a witch and her henchmen collecting what they thought were evidence of their evil doings. A fight for these things ensued and swords were crossed.


The first moves. The Witch and her band are at the far side

The Witches band move up through the church as the Witch moves down the left

The Bowman takes aim at his first victim.

Eat your heart out Robin Hood!

The Witch receives her first would. The shield reduced the effect of the Witch below that of her attacker.

The bowman meets his end after killing the crossbowman.


She can run, but she can't hide. 



The three villagers and a henchman, having dropped off their first collections can be seen in the background hastening to join the fight and collect further evidence.

We gained the upper hand, killing three of their number including the witch, though one of our number was killed.

It was a good day to be a witchfinder.

A trip to Great Yarmouth

 On Thursday 6th, I went on a day trip to Great Yarmouth. The weather was very British. Sunshine, rain, warm and cold.

I did though, have a nice time. I also found the following when there.

Norfolk Boardgames, Wargames and Collectables


New and second had figures and terrain. GW, obviously, some historicals, rules books and boxed games. Certainly worth a little of your time.

The Spanish galleon Andalucia





It makes the Golden Hind look like a lifeboat!

Sadly, leaving in a couple of days. A two day trip onboard from Gt. Yarmouth to Holland is €400.

I'd love to go but...

The town walls of Gt. Yarmouth





Not all the seaside shops and amusements were open which spoiled it only a little. But Chinese take-aways, please open before 5pm I'm hungry at lunchtime!
