On Friday I set up the cottage dining table for an old favourite Grant scenario that I usually call The Wagon Train. Almost all the minis are from various Elastolin 4cm ranges but most have been painted and many converted by me.
Here is a link to my rules which we used: "
Castle Dangerous".
(All photos by Rob Hingley except as otherwise noted.) Rob commanded the Escort, Paul the Castle garrison, Mike the Huns and Anthony the Visigoths.

"The lowing oxcarts wind slowly o'er the lea"
(from Graze Elegy Written in a Country Farmyard) |
 |
| Then suddenly, some rowdy Sons of a Hun appear. The escorts deploy! |
 |
| The castle gates open. Here come the cavalry! |
 |
"Huns to the front of me, Visigoths to the rear,
here I am, stuck in the middle with ewe."
(Sorry but it was that sort of evening) |
 |
| The last of the Hun cavalry managed to sack the lead wagon before being chased off the table and now the Visigoth Hearthguard emerge from the woods in which they have been lurking for the whole game to the consternation of everyone, including the King of the Visigoths himself who was on the far side of the table with his archers and warriors. Can they seize a second, game winning, wagon before it pulls away and the Elite Roman infantry moves up? |

| That night in the Visigoth camp, the warriors ate heartily. |
One more game to report on. Sumber https://gameofmonth.blogspot.com/
