I inflicted my En Gardé "Bishop's War" on Durham Wargames group... Something a little different...
The Bishops's Guard cleaned up, with Captain Lee doing his usual amount of killing. It's really odd, but it seems that whenever I put that figure on the tabletop he goes on to kill as many enemy figures as he can. In this game he ran up a score of half a dozen...
Quilp and his Smuggler's/Pirates were almost wiped out, Whitemoore and his men ravaged the Inn, before joining in with the customers drinking.
Rathbone and his men finally realised that the Priest had hidden in the barn, and rescued him, but only after having kicked a pig, and the potboy away from the Inn door.
We all admired Rathbone's moral rectitude in spurning the advances of a pair of shady ladies...
Meanwhile Sir Toby Belch sampled Doll Tearsheet's charms and then proceeded to stagger around the table, before looting a jeweled crucifix and making for the Inn to get drunk.
Not a typical wargame, but pretty much an ordinary evening out in Durham.

The bemused "is that a pig inside the Inn" question betrayed the fact that some members of the group have never been on a night out in a Durham pub.
