FSF Games with a shocking lack of photos...

This weekend I met a friend on Columbia for two games of FSF.  I have many friends about 3 hours away in Charlotte, and my main gaming group here in Charleston.  So, while we frequently can't make the travel in either direction...we decided to test meeting halfway at a game shop called Firefly Games in Columbia.

 

It's dead center between the two cities (well, distance-wise), and we may pursue more game days like this in the future.  Myself and my buddy were the test run.

 

We played two games and of course, I only took a handful of photos...

 

 

The state of Brivoli's Great Company.

This force began as a small "opfor" or opposing force, a kind of loaner army to keep on hand, and to have an optional "good guy" (as good as mercenaries can be, I reckon...) force.  I decided over time to expand it to a proper full army.  This army is maybe 2-3 units away from being complete.  It's been a fun thing to cobble together.

 

 

Brivoli's Big Guns

Whipped up these two cannons and crew for Brivoli's Great Company.  I debated building one as a mortar, but with my Chaos Dwarfs alredy possessing a mortar, I wanted to give them some dedicated simple cannons.

 

This will allow Brivoli's Great Company to be run as nearly a gunline when needed (not sure that works well enough in FSF).

 

 

Brivoli's Great Company gets serious...

The original interest in creating a Tilean mercenary force for Warhammer times was my interest in the Italian Wars and similar 1400's-1500's mercenary warfare, etc.

 

My first 'dream' was having some pike blocks for Brivoli's Great Company but I was lazy about getting the models.  I finally snagged a box of Warlord Landsknecht and put this unit together.  The pikes have all been chopped 3/4" or so to make the unit a little more playable and hopefully transportable.

 

 

Games!: Famine Sword & Fire (Night Goblins vs. Dwarfs)

Today my buddy and I wrapped up our little three game "Night Goblin" side quest during our campaign.

 

The TL/DR version of the side-quest:  After dwarfs sabotaged a bridge to cut off Chaos Dwarfs from entering a long-abandoned dwarf hold, the remaining dwarfs were chased into the gloom by Night Goblins.  In the next game, three of seven dwarf survivors escaped to the Night Goblin occupied dark tunnels and caverns.

 

This game wrapped up this small portion of the campaign.  The same three dwarfs who survived the long dark of the dwarf hold were being hunted by Night Goblins in the slopes of the mountain.  They had followed a river.  Guided by magic(?) a dwarf rescue force was scouring the area.  As the day broke and the mist cleared the two forces found themselves interwoven in the broken terrain.

 

This was a "fog of war" scenario with bonus points added if my buddy could get the three survivors off the table...I would score extra points for killing them.

 

In the end the Night Goblins scored a 9-7 victory, by managing to score the last two points by sticking Night Goblin arrows into the eyes of the dwarf general just as he arrived on the table!  A very hectic and very...cagey game.
