Game 51: Gunfight

This game was played solo on 28 Dec 2009 using homecast 40mm figures of my own design and a musket era adaptation of Medieval Mayhem. Not having any cowboys, I decided to keep to the Law & Order vs Bad Guys theme, in this case a patrol of the Queen's soldiers, sent to apprehend a nest of smugglers.

I randomly assigned the 6 smugglers around town and marched the patrol straight down the road. The patrol, showing extreme discipline, managed to roll a total of 4" on its 2 dice, 3 turns in a row!, giving the smugglers lots of time to scatter, take cover and open up.

The patrol got the first hit in though, shooting down a smuggler in the field. They then charged to the right and cleared the closest house with the bayonet, losing 1 man to musket fire on the way in. Regrouping, they rushed across the street under a hot fire and beat in the door. Leading the way, Lieutenant Pointer shot down the Smuggler Chief and the remaining smuggler threw down his musket and surrendered.
