This weekend the local HMGS-South group played a game of Pig Wars. The scenario was set around the sleepy little village of Chelsea, located somewhere on the east coast of Britain, sometime after the Romans left, but before the Norman conquest (history can be so fuzzy on these events).
A sleepy village in Britain….
The local priest watches over his flock.
The market ready for a day of peaceful barter.
The market stalls are looted.
The ox wagons plod through the village unhindered, thanks to careful diplomacy.
Something frightful in the village church scares off the potential looters, so they burn it.
The Norman foot is eliminated and the mounted warriors beat a temporary retreat.
Retreating with the loot.
Two bands fight it out until one is eliminated.
In the end a couple of the players met their primary objectives and one left town with substantial loot.
