The flight from the undead was a nightmare, the undead weren't fast but they didn't rest under their unnatural blackened skies. Del Monte's troops were unable to rest for any length of time for as soon as they did Monte Drago's army caught them up.
Three days and two terrifying nights passed before refuge was gained. The survivors stumbled into the castle of Monte Vincezzo an outpost of Del Monte's lands. The small garrison quickly tended to their needs while eyeing the Empire soldiers suspiciously.
Hot on their heels was the host of Count Drago who immediately surrounded and besieged the castle.
Del Monte's survivors were few, Ricco's men who bravely fought a rearguard were missing as were the Tilean pikemen and the dwarfs. Worst of all were the sightings of recently deceased comrades amidst the undead host.
The defenders are boiling up a drop of oil!.
They have stones to crack some skulls.
And some big rocks to make a mess of the attackers.
Handgunners and crossbows in the towers.
Knights and spearmen wait behind the gates. 
In case the covered ram breaks through.
Skeletons and zombies are ready to scale the walls.
The assault on the castle will begin soon...
Hi, looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteThis is J for Jonathan, from the Irishserb blog.
Glad to see that you are still gaming after all this time.
Best wishes.
Cheers Jonathan, it's really nice to hear from you, it must be nearly 40 years. I guess you are still gaming, what are you doing these days?.
DeleteRegards,
Paul.
Hiya, long story short I'm retired and living in France. Mostly spending time working on the house and garden; in theory anyway.
DeleteFrom a wargaming perspective I mostly play 6mm WWII and onwards.
The easiest way to show you is a friend visited pre Covid and blogged and this:

(His blog is well worth catching by the way.)
How about you? What are you up to these days?
What a beautiful place to live Jonathan and a superb wargames room too. You always did like those tank battles with Bruce and Alan and WRG rules.
DeleteAs for me I took early retirement when Robbs closed, I worked there for 39 years and was very glad to get away from it.
Retirement is great, I walk in the countryside all morning and play with my soldiers the rest of the time, happy days!.
Once again it is great to hear from you, keep in touch.
A siege game coming up. You don't often see those.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to it Peter, hoping to get it played on Sunday.
