We had another fun day today at SELWG 2022. This was a participation game based on the storming of Bristol in 1663. The game mechanics were a streamlined version of the skirmish game, Donnybrook.
A lot of the buildings and scenery had been made by fellow gamer, Richard Brown. The soft colour palette really helped to give the set a 16th Century look and feel.
The famous Christmas steps, players would score points for taking these. In the actual battle, this is where Colonel Lunsford was shot and killed.
The players had to make they're way through the narrow streets, fighting detachments of Roundheads and dodging sniper fire. Once they made it to the far gate, the game would end. The gate being lowered to allow Royalist re-enforcements to swarm in and secure the crucial city port.
It was a great day out full of fun and laughs. The players seem to have enjoyed it, with some coming back a second time, always a good sign.

Looks a great game. Shame we couldn't make it.
Looks great!
Fantastic! That is just the sort of game I imagine playing with my Bloody Miniatures collection. The table is perfect.
That's a shame, it would of been nice to catch up again. It won't be long before we're doing more, so maybe meet in the future.
Thanks Neil, the high detailed mat worked a treat I thought, added that little something.
