Text of the page (random words):
gerous captain couteau the ferach forces prepare to march on the red dragon the objectives the first stop on the schn ö selberg scenic tour is the lovely rustic red dragon inne a popular watering hole for the locals and soldiers who pass through close by is the renowned chocolatier and master coffee roaster herr tobleron at the centre of the town lies a well this is the main objective of the scuffle and needs to be captured by the end of combat buildings lying around the town are also able to be captured but this is a secondary goal and quite dangerous when entering a building a character must roll a d6 1 2 the soldier easily makes his way inside only to be knocked out by surprise lasts two turns 3 4 the door is locked getting in will be tough 5 6 the soldier easily makes his way in supplies are always needed so grab that pig if you can approaching within 5cm of the pig will startle it at 50 if startled it will move 3d6 in a random direction otherwise it will need to be led away lastly that pesky journalist fritz heulen is on the prowl for a good story this might prove to your advantage have him in your possession by the end of the battle however an opposed melee roll will be required to stop him snooping around for his latest story otherwise he moves 3d6 in a random direction special rules sneaking a visit to the house of herr tobleron is almost irresistible as the smell of roasting coffee beans and other tasty treats wafts over the battlefield roll a d6 at the start of the game the result is the number of cups of coffee he is able to brew imbibing a cup will give you an extra move action next turn no fighting in the yard though there s a good boy oh and be careful the townsfolk haven t taken too kindly to the recent visitors the innkeeper is happy to take things into his own hands and there is a 50 chance he may appear at the start of a turn and blast at a random soldier with his musket his wife however is rather interested in these fine specimens and they know it they ignore shaken results if in melee within 15cm of the innkeeper s wife get off my lawn well well well the battle at the red dragon inn as told by herr fritz heulen in a letter to his cousin the esteemed herr gunther heulen esq dear cousin it has been so long since we have spoken my travels have taken me to the hot bed of intrigue and skulduggery that is the free state of schn ö selberg and you all said it was a backwater my latest adventures have landed me in a spot of trouble but more on that later be sure to pass on the following account of a recent clash for the key strategic point the red dragon inn more importantly the well at the centre of the hamlet make no mistake this could turn the tide of the war it was early on in the battle that i was whisked away by a ferach soldier who as he approached brought with him a stench of alcohol that made my eyes water he staggered over followed by a decorated superior unfortunately he was well and truly legless a short while later i barely heard the pop of the ostarian air rifle that felled him i never found out what happened to him after the battle but i seem to recall him getting dragged away by an angry mob of villagers the jaeger von meister sneaks around the back of the inn pop seeing that i was in danger the ferach lieutenant attempted to lead me away to safety as the distinct crack of musket fire could be heard in the distance the struggle for the well had begun i must admit that in the confusion i could make out few details however i do seem to recall being passed on to several other soldiers before the battle was finished so considerate even now the ferach have taken precautions to set an armed guard outside my tent for my protection the elves quite deftly maneuvered their way to a good vantage point intercepting the lone dogman that held the well with a decisive order from their leader the small section of troops let rip from their muskets and felled the poor pup where he stood the ferach elves take position fire the whole affair was very civil for the most part i seem to recall two soldiers from opposing sides taking time to have a coffee break part way through the battle i quite like the idea of a soldierin life and have often wished to take up the uniform of my native land see the world if only my health would permit two soldiers take a moment to sample herr tobleron s finest brew and benefit from a quick burst of energy in the next turn the supercharged schn ö selberg grenadier takes the initiative and makes a grab for the well can the puppies hold it covering fire in a last ditch attempt at the well the ferach troops closed in to hand to hand combat lowering their bayonets and sounding the charge they rushed in however they did not reckon with the good breeding of musketier sprungsteen or knuckles as he is known to his peers he felled two ferach elves with one almighty right hook it would have done his litter proud knuckles gives the ferach more than they bargained for his pal von schnussel does the same at this it seemed that cpt couteau of the ferach elves used his better judgment and sounded the retreat after passing through the hands of what seemed all the nations of valon it was time to leave the battlefield but not before a last desperate attempt by the young schn ö selberg drummer unfortunately he was quickly dispatched by the cruel elf who eyes glinted as he sliced the poor young pup there is something really off about this guy i only hope i do not suffer the same fate cpt couteau swoops in and snatches herr heulen from the unsuspecting drummer nasty he who fights and runs away the ferach grudgingly make their escape through the trees and back to camp but not empty handed and so dear cousin here i sit in solitude awaiting my fate who knows where my adventures will take me and what thrilling tales i will have for you when next i write farewell fritz heulen and that wraps up our first full sized flintloque battle the schn ö selberg troops held the well as quite simply there were too many casualties on the ferach side to do much more than grab herr heulen and make a quick exit and it was quite late in the evening when we finished up anyway while most of my section survived to do battle another day they had many injuries so i ll be interested to see how they fare next time i ll definitely stay out of the line of fire of that deadly jaeger hope you enjoyed it of course a few more things happened in the game that fritz didn t account for including the cowardly heiß hund emerging at the very end of the battle to catch the pig the innkeeper kicks open the door and opens fire i lost two of my elves that way the pig was tricky to catch and almost overwhelmed my volitgeur posted by christian at 6 04 pm 10 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels flintloque saturday august 16 2014 book review more wargame terrain by tony harwood title more wargame terrain dampfpanzerwagon guide no 2 author tony harwood year 2014 i ve recently received a copy of tony harwood s more wargame terrain in the mail i must say i ve been a follower and fan of his work for a while now particularly through his blog as hopefully my own blog will show building wargames terrain is a passion of mine and something i can appraise with some degree of credibility all this aside in order to do this publication justice i ll take a step away from my own bias as much as possible and hopefully provide some valuable insights to you dear reader not having a copy of the first volume it is difficult to say how closely more wargames terrain picks up where its predecessor left off however in harwood s introduction he states that guide no 2 can be read in isolation and i would have to agree amongst the 116 pages there are very clear instructions and ample photos and diagrams to take on one of the eight projects and although there are some more advanced techniques the language and photography used and the overall direction throughout the guide make this certainly achievable to any novice anyone familiar with dampf s modelling page will notice the care harwood takes in showing his projects develop and this is very well captured within the pages of more wargames terrain however for someone who has been building terrain for some time there are ample techniques and effects employed to provide something new and challenging is there a drawback to this book the only thing i can suggest as an addition would be something of a gallery or a larger spread of a wargames table and there is already a hint of that of the back cover this is really just a suggestion the book is a complete success the trend in wargames terrain today is like most things in the modern world geared towards economising time and money you see this in the continual flow of laser cut terrain and 3d printed playing pieces which provide players with something that can literally be slapped on the table but that isn t for everybody what this book represents i think harks back to an earlier time where cardboards paddle pop sticks and found objects were the building blocks of the wargames table awaiting a personal touch whatever that looked like and that is something worth conserving more wargame terrain can be purchased by inquiry on the dampf s modelling page blog posted by christian at 5

much in the fashion of tony harwood s online build many examples of which are on his blog as is the result of some discussion on the notables yahoo group although at a relative snail s pace so below all my work on the famed von trapp s grenadiers led by gustav von trapp expert trapper and huntsman he was quite an extensive conversion on the dwarf sergeant from the legion de nain pack i put together a short story below on a slow day at work months ago now as plans for gustav s own section started formulating the hills are alive private rorc scratched a flea out from behind his left ear got ya he thought to himself and grinned it was late afternoon and rorc had been placed on sentry duty he turned to see the rest of his section making camp and getting ready for a brisk evening in the green rolling ostarian hills his sergeant s warning fumbled its way through his brain as his eyes flicked around the general area the ills are alive rorc spun around and brought his musket to bear in front of him who izzit he asked the empty field infront of him he swore he had heard something and not the kind of noise a forest makes he squinted and in the afternoon light he could make out some figures in the distance a series of ululating notes drifted their way down the valley to his pointed ears was that singing not like he d heard definitely not during last night s bout in town what he wouldn t do for some of that dwarven ale blimey he d even settle for some of that dogmen brew that tasted like p oi rorc sergeant andorcson bellowed quit yer day dreamin you re on watch but i ve seen sumfin sir you what i ve seen sumfin sir high on the hills the sergeant grabbed a spying glass from a nearby trunk looks like a goat erd a goat erd yer on his own too a lonely goat erd ley yodel ley yodel ley the sound of the goatherd s singing reached the small camp cept for is goats that is added rorc good job rorc said the sergeant derisively deflated rorc resumed his watch and his scratching bloody dwarf he thought as he squinted up at the hills again maybe he s got some grog gustav von trapp peered down to the campsite below clutching his hooded cloak over his uniform and his crook for effect although he had lost an eye his vision was still sharp and his wits sharper he and his brothers had been on the trail of these orcs for some time now and it posed little challenge the experienced woodsmen he knelt down and patted his dog the pug looked up at him expectantly not much of a guard dog he said chuckling gustav how much longer to ve haff to stay here be patient werner and don t move around so much you are a goat remember he chuckled he was enjoying this and there was little he enjoyed these days a good draught a good sing and a chance to beat the orcs back to albion where they belonged or preferably back under whatever rock they came from the simple life he lived had been taken away from him and his brothers and he blamed the orcs and the grand alliance bah he spat there was nothing grand about it looters pilferers thieves vagabonds and worse he had not been keen on the elves either but the enemy of my enemy he seethed into silence before signalling to his fur draped brothers that it was time to move gustav lead his band as they scampered down the hill towards cover on all fours their disguise was working it seemed night was coming the trap was set as they moved gustav softly hummed their marching song his single eye glinting in the twilight so following that i put some work into a few more dwarfs to join gustav and there is a pic below of my progress so far hope you like it posted by christian at 5 07 pm 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels flintloque sunday april 6 2014 adelaide dungeonbowl cup 2014 first prize custom board hi everyone i was asked by alex over at afoul to put together a custom board for their tournament this was quite flattering as alex is quite the terrain maker himself and has been putting together a really impressive dungeon over the years you can read more about the dungeonbowl crew over at their website alex also runs a newsletter about fantasy football gaming called put the boot in he interviewed yours truly in anticipation of their big event which you can read here i do like to support bloodbowl tournaments although i m not much of a tournament player myself they are usually smallish community groups and tournaments really are in the spirit of the game their tournament rules are the result of hours of gaming and in the interest of fair play which is all good in my book anyway on with the board here is the board s frame with the modular elements set up and a few more detailed shots towards the end those last few shots show my scratch built teleporters as well as some treasure chests i prepared for the prize the two identical square chests are scratch built with the others coming from a hirst arts mold the last two shots are taken on my own dungeon boards that you might see a bit more of in the future i ll be using the cavern crawl rules which i really recommend checking out for this sort of thing for anyone interest in custom pitches for individual purchase or for tournaments please feel free to contact me posted by christian at 7 00 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to
