Saxe-Bearstein v Stagonia first blush

 

a screen shot of the tribute for Jeff

We ran an all day long game of black powder using Jeff's 18th century Saxe-Bearstein and Stagonia miniatures.

Here are a few shots from the table, there's a whole video to edit down now.

for all 4 planned players

This was our first opportunity to gather in more than two households at a time.

Next month, July, will see a greater relaxation and more than six households can gather, 25 people even indoors with a COVID plan - though I will only be doing so in smaller groups.

We broadcast the whole game on twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/murdocksmarauders/videos

The video will remain active for a few more weeks.

I will have a more complete set of photos and video clips coming out in July.

It was a very hot day (35 C - or more) and it was also fun to get these classic minis by Bloodaxe Miniatures, painted by Jeff on the table again.
