No Paint Navies with Granny Grate

Frank, my long time friend & gaming opponent developed this concept with some "homebrew" rules, which we took for a test sail.

 The first long range hit on a Blue Man O'War

     The Blue Admiral is separated from his fleet and then the wind shifts keeping him isolated

 A Blue ship is sunk by a Red frigate.

                                           The final Blue frigate is captured by a Red captain.

A fun evening playtesting a new set of rules and a new genre for Granny Grate.

Picts (SFW) versus Middle Anglo-Saxons: Northumbria using Triumph! rules

                                                          The Pict's of King Drest. 15mm Essex Miniatures

                   King Osric's Middle Anglo-Saxon: Northumbrians. 15mm Blue Moon Miniatures

 The Pict's (bottom) advance on their right flank.

 The Anglo-Saxons: Northumbrians (top) advance on their right flank 

                                                 King Drest moves forward with his Javelin cavalry

                                                    Pict light spears take the hill on their left flank.

 The battle is joined in the center

 The "blue butted" Pict skirmishers hold their ground versus the Northumbrian Warriors.

 the Northumbrian King Osric falls in the center.

 Without their leader the Anglo Saxons are confused and orders fail to be carried out.

 Northumbrian heavy foot are flanked and destroyed.

 Pictish Skirmishers and light spear are destroyed on their left flank.

 the Northumbrians continue to suffer a loss of control and units, without their leader.

 However, the brave Anglo-Saxon Northumbrian heavy foot avoid elimination for 2 turns

                 Without the command of Osric, the Northumbrians are defeated by the Picts.
