ped and were running loose in the market lasse lykta spotted one of the errant geese and wanted to impale the goose on his faithful halberd and take it to the guardhouse mess his clever plan was foiled by the dexterous goose and the arrival of captain casimir calabrone who grabbed the goose by its neck and returned it to charles its rightful owner while roaming on patrol first constable arthur fielding caught sight of a female pickpocket attempting to lift the purse from a passing man she was arrested without much of a struggle one of the market stalls belongs to the wizard balthazar mistmantle selling books and scrolls some of which he claims have strange and wonderful properties perhaps even magical he was standing in front of his stall as he does on every market day when he was approached by sigrid runeweaver a female dwarven novice wizard she had a purse full of escalid ducats so balthazar against his better judgement sold her an ancient magical tome sigrid runeweaver was so curious about the contents of the book that she opened it as soon as she had left balthazar s stall and was still in the middle of the marketplace unfortunately the magic within the tome was beyond the capabilities of a wizard who was barely a journeyman as soon as she started browsing pyrotechnics jumped from the pages and almost blinding her she was heard to shout help i can t control it as an ice storm streaked out from the book and right through the marketgoers constable wurtz balester was on patrol with bella his trusty crossbow nestled in his arms luckily for runeweaver he recognised that it was pure incompetence rather than malice so balester made the decision not to shoot the wizard but instead to arrest her he closed from behind and grabbed her causing her to drop the tome which fell closed to the floor balester arrested runeweaver for causing an affray and unauthorized use of magic on the public highway he also returned the tome to the safekeeping of balthazar mistmantle who rewarded balester with a gold coin captain wilberforth bassington bassington was quick of the mark he grabbed one of the escaped geese by its beak and tucked it safely under his arm captain casimir calabrone and mister bee chased after one of the gang of pickpockets with the aid of a peasant on his way to market the pickpocket was apprehended and arrested on searching the pickpocket captain casimir calabrone discovered a lucky dragon s fang hanging on a leather cord round the perps neck this he appropriated for the greater good the last of the escaped gaggle of geese was spotted by constable enoch enhalv pommel he lassoed the black goose and led it back to its pen there was no more excitement that day and brynhildr square returned to the hustle and bustle of commerce but still the guards patrolled to be seen and to keep the peace back at his squad s guardhouse gregory greystone practiced even harder with his crossbow he shot target practice over and over and inspired by the events of the day even targeted a skein of geese flying past long hours of drilling in the guardhouse courtyard to build up strength helped überhardt hornisse to improve his drill

patrol duty in the city of traitor s toll the guards of the city watch were patrolling om market day in the city of traitor s toll guards of traitor s toll is a skirmish adventure game set in a fantasy city and produced by grey for now games the central marketplace was bustling with merchants customers and performers as well as some more shady characters the town crier was shouting out the latest news from the town s rulers to the market going townsfolk wasted willy the town drunk was abusing the merchants in a loud and slurred voice telling obscene and usually false tales about their wares when told to calm down and go away to sleep it off he shouted what re youse lookin at i ll hic takes youse all on constable enoch enhalv pommel intervened and with the help of a passing civilian and arrested willy for drunk and disorderly conduct the town crier ended his monologue by shouting out the new raised tolls for market stallholders the fishmonger vito the codfather corleone became incensed and infuriated the toll is how much that s outrageous you can t expect me to pay that amount i demand an audience with the baron captain wilberforth bassington bassington mollified the annoyed merchant a well dressed lady was walking through the marker her face hidden behind a fan held in her left hand she noticed prince escalus and casually strolled towards him a blade flashed out appearing in her free right hand and the prince s blood was spilled constable wurtz balester was on patrol with bella his trusty crossbow nestled in his arms he spotted the knife thrust and shot off a bolt that cut down the perpetrator of the stabbing before she could leave the scene there is a little know fact about the stabbing of prince escalus which has been kept secret from the townsfolk it wasn t just a spurned mistress as people generally believe prince escalus is in traitor s toll with a retinue of prominent refugees from the escalid court they were forced to flee after the terrible coup last year when escalus uncle the bloodthirsty duke bruno seized power when the guards took the woman s body to the morgue they found her purse full of escalid ducats she was an assassin sent by duke bruno more assassination attempts are expected on members of the escalid court in exile one of the market stalls belongs to the wizard balthazar mistmantle selling books and scrolls he was standing in front of his stall as he does on every market day when a challenge for a duel was shouted from across the marketplace the challenge came from sigrid runeweaver a female dwarven wizard who claimed to have been sold a faulty scroll sigrid loosed off the first shot a fireball screeched across the marketplace balthazar replied with an ice storm which hit sigrid the duel continued as marketgoers dived for cover when a magical battle breaks out it s best not to interfere balthazar was arrested by lieutenant bertrand sommerseth but not before he had seriously wounded sigrid who in turn was arrested by constable enoch enhalv pommel a mugger wandering through the outskirts of the market when he noticed a peasant farmer with a surprisingly heavy leather purse on his waist belt the mugger gave the peasant a heavy blow to the head knocking his victim senseless to the ground the mugger then quickly divested him of his coin the observant constable wurtz balester saw the ruckus and once again fired off a bolt from bella his trusty crossbow this time his target was too quick for him and dodged the bolt however this gave another constable mr bee the chance to rush in and with the aid of a passing young sorceress arrest the mugger before he had the chance to recover two puppeteers were performing for the enjoyment and entertainment of the marketgoers one puppet accused another puppet of doing something that no puppet should ever do crossed words led to flying fists and the puppeteers were at each other hammer and tongs five guards of the city watch surrounded the brawling puppeteers as their fisticuffs was totally disrupting the business of the market the captains of two different guard squads made the arrests captain casimir calabrone arrested the lady puppeteer and captain wilberforth bassington bassington made his second contribution of the day by arresting the male puppeteer there was no more excitement that day and the market returned to the hustle and bustle of commerce but still the guards patrolled to be seen and to keep the peace when talking to the marketgoers constable enoch enhalv pommel was congratulated on his part in stopping the magic duel he sensed that coming from a poor background helped him communicate with the lower classes of the city even constable gregory greystone who had assisted in breaking up the brawling puppeteers was remarked upon as being a silver tongued smooth talking devil who could charm the legs off a giant spider back at his squad s guardhouse constable wurtz balester practiced even harder with his crossbow bella shooting target practice over and over he got so good that he claimed he could hit a hobbit pickpocket s big toe at twenty paces something only a real weapon expert can do posted by keith at 1

wargame that puts the player in charge of a sherman tank somewhere in france after the normandy invasion it has fun and challenging missions but is not completely historical as a sharman would not operate alone without support lone sherman was written by mike lambo the game can be played on a map using counters but i use 12mm minifigs models on hexes from kallistra houses from total battle miniatures and trees from timecast the sherman was commanded by staff sergeant martin lundgren from minnesota mission 2 tiger hunt this mission requires the sherman to eliminate the tiger tank and exit the board at the opposite point there is no time limit as such but the more time the sherman takes the more unfortunate events can occur these can include such things as the arrival of more german tanks infantry or air support the sherman was moving cautiously through a small french village at the bottom of this map when its command staff sergeant martin lundgren heard the rumble of a tiger heavy tank on the road to his left he could also just make out a lighter panzer iii tank in the houses down the road to his right although the sherman couldn t see it a second panzer iii was lurking in the muddy fields by a farmyard further ahead deciding that it would be easier to take out the panzer iii rather than facing a tiger head on on the road the sherman turned right the panzer iii advanced out of the village into the fields and opened fire on the sherman but did no damage the tiger advanced down the road but as the commander could not get a shot at the sherman he fired his smoke grenades to create some cover the second panzer iii stayed lurking in the safety of the farmyard behind a smoke screen german infantry with a panzerschreck were seen by the sherman occupying the far village the sherman moved further along the road and then turned towards the panzer iii to get a flanking shot however yet again the sherman failed to damage the panzer so it put out a smoke screen for cover the panzer returned fire but also without success the tiger mover forward to the fork in the road and even it opened fire on the sherman without success the tank gunners on both sides were having an unlucky day hearing the canon fire the second panzer iii advanced very cautiously towards the battle more panzerschreck armed german infantry were seen occupying the houses near the tiger when the smoke screen cleared the sherman opened fire yet again at the panzer iii firing a point blank range into its rear the panzer iii was destroyed and went up in flames the sherman then turned its gun onto the tiger it was a large target so easy to hit but with more luck that skill the shot penetrated the front side armour and even the tiger started to burn the sherman then renewed its smoke screen the second panzer iii continued its cautious advance it entered the village and opened fire on the sherman but could not get a hit because of the smoke screen the sherman advanced into the field with the burring panzer iii and turned to face the second pamzer iii in the village it opened fire on the panzer without success so it found a hull down position and created a smoke screen the panzer iii then advanced out of the village on the road attempting to flank the sherman the panzer iii opened fire and hit the sherman immobilizing it the german commander had called up support from the luftwaffe and a nearby stuka responded it dived at the sherman and staff sergeant martin lundgren opened fire with his turret mounted 50 cal machinegun this caused the stuka to flinch and miss its target the stationary sherman opened fire on the panzer and damaged it but failed to knock it out the panzer returned fire but as the sherman was hull down it was a small target and the panzer missed the sherman s assistant driver managed to rectify the problem that had immobilized the tank and it was now mobile again the sherman opened fire on the damaged panzer it was an easy target at close range and this time the shot destroyed the panzer the enemy having been neutralised the sherman continued on its way with no further problems arising posted by keith at 12 20 pm 2

requires the sherman to destroy all the enemy tanks there is no time limit as such but the more time the sherman takes the more unfortunate events can occur these can include such things as roads being mined or luftwaffe air support the starting positions of all four tanks are determined randomly so the mission will feel different each time it is played the mission started with the sherman at the bottom of the board the tiger was close by just the other side of the woods the panzer iv was on the road at the top of the board and the panzer iii in a field at the top left the sherman moved to another part of the field hoping to get a better shot at the tiger when in emerged from behind the woods the tiger advanced straight ahead ignoring the sherman completely the commander seemed rather confused the panzer iv charged at full speed down the road and into the village the panzer iii had a very cautious commander he decided that the other two tanks were strong enough to take on a lone sherman and just found a safe hull down position in the field to hide in a stuka lined up on the sherman from behind lieutenant michael wilson had been watching the tiger and was surprised by the stuka s attack he grabbed the turret mounted browning 50 caliber machinegun and opened fire but in his rush to turn the machinegun rearward he failed to hi...
