The tables were humming at Game Nite with our Tuesday Night group putting on a couple of challenging scenarios.
Top of the list was Osprey Games “EnGarde” rules featuring the era of Musketeers and Swashbucklers. This was a bit of a learning scenario for the crew and is described by Andrew who was kind enough to send in photos and a description of the table top events.
“Table one is Pirates using En Garde from Osprey wargames!”
“The green landing party pushes agressively into the trading outpost, hoping to deprive the reds of the economic advantages within!”
“Tim and Chris are rolling fire in their musketeer duel!:”
“ In the end, a few green sailors joined the red crew! Give it another game or so, and we’ll have En Garde familiar!”
“Table two is Bolt Action! Germans and British clash across a village!“
Thanks to Andrew for this great report on the game and pictures. We also would like to offer our Thanks to all the players who came out to enjoy a fun afternoon of gaming. As always we extend our ongoing appreciation to Game Nite for their continued support.
Remember to shop local!
Big Muddy Historical Game Alliance of Greater St. Louis
Our public educational demonstrations including rules and game evaluation sessions use historical miniature and historical board gaming to explore military history, historical decision-making, and the people, places, and events of the past.
Historical Gaming in Action is a public educational program presented by the Big Muddy Historical Game Alliance of Greater St. Louis.
Using miniature figures, terrain, maps, historical research, and guided play, our games explore military history through the decisions faced by commanders, soldiers, and communities. Visitors can examine the table, ask questions, learn about the historical setting, and—when space and time permit—join the game.
Our scenarios are based on historical sources. While game rules simplify some details for practical play, each event is designed to encourage discussion of historical events, geography, leadership, logistics, strategy, and the human experience of conflict.
Historical gaming can be both enjoyable and educational. Big Muddy provides public educational demonstrations, seminars, and convention programming that promote historical miniature gaming and military history.
