The Game
 |
| The battlefield |
 |
| The English and French advance. Apparently the objective is a pie hidden in one of the two buildings. I may have misheard that. |
 |
| And fat Errol discovers that whilst he loves pies, he doesn't like arrows much. |
 |
| The Young warriors hide in a field delivering the goods, but neglecting the "sound of thunder rule!" |
 |
| The sea dogs rout the warrior archers |
 |
| Can't help myself! |
 |
| And batter them in pursuit |
 |
| The Spanish Captain lies down |
 |
| And the victorious Sea Dogs are shot down |
 |
| A lot of musketry but the prone Spaniards avoid loss |
 |
| The charge of the lanceros. Never underestimate a man with a bamboo pole. |
 |
| We've searched one building but the loot is in the other. Nearing the end of the game we surge towards the second building. |
 |
| The natives get a unit inside first. |
 |
| But it's a stand off |
 |
| Some desperate posturing but the gig is up. The English and French alliance can't take the objective. |
 |
| End of the game |
 |
| And losses have been over 50% |
 |
| But Fat Errol lives to eat more stolen pies in future games. |
