Maipo 1818

On Saturday 8th June I played out Maipo 1818 using "Liberated Hordes".


The rules have been recently updated to match DBA v3.0 so, not surprisingly, they very much have that vibe.  They also have much in common with DBN.

The battle went pretty much according to historical precedent with the Patriots winning 7:6 after a sharp left hook by their superior horse.

This post has the OOB reduced to Hott/DBA proportions:

Maybe next time I will try the "Libertadores" rules for more flavor!

We continued with 3 games of DBA v3:

3.52 West Franks v 3.65 Nikephorian Byzantine - a 4:2 win
2.58 Alan v 4.50 Paleogian Byzantine - 5:0 loss
1.43a Kimmerian v 1.52h Aitolian Greek - 4:3 loss

Not a shining example of generalship on my part  with only one win from 4 games - Oh Well!

Finished a couple of Dr Who books.

(1) "The Christmas Invasion" - an adaptation of an xmas special that I never saw.  Although UNIT troops are present there is no scope for skirmish play.  Wallpaper really.

(2) "The Taking of Chelsea 426" - a better yarn about two alien races fighting regardless of collateral damage - sounds familiar!  Some skirmishing but horribly one-sided.
