Blood and Plunder and refitting old ships

So I acquired the Blood and Plunder rules last week and am really seeing some potential here. So I'm getting together a demo game for the local store. Refitted one of my first pirate ships. A bit small, made from the old Gary Chalk design.  But it seems to work. Stole the sails from a model ship at a local craft store.

Crew mostly Foundry

Great game last night at Treefort in Fayetteville! After a few months of planning and painting I finally got to run my Pirates in Mombasa game. Rules were Legends of the High Seas, with some house rules.
Grand Pirate Captain Traylor lead the Captains of the Crimson Brotherhood  on a foray to claim the Grand Vizier yearly tribute in Mombasa. Most of the Pirates avoided assaulting the Town, instead deciding to risk the old forts guns as they dashed up the river. The Vizier sent out his Corsairs to harry the pirates as they passed the fort. Many a buccaneer went done to the sharp blades of the Arab seadogs! The Vizier was also having to deal with a horde of cannibals on land and in canoes attacking his other flank. Lead by three JuJu men, the natives had overcome their fear of firearms and were attacking in force. Eventually Captain Traylor, managed  to reach the Mosque and capture the Vizier. Unfortunately for some of his crew and the Vizier, the cannibals were at that same moment over the walls and on them .

View from the Old Fort, Pirates would capture it in the end.

View from the Mosque, Native attack came from deep in the jungle.

View from old ruined tower.

You can see the raft bridge, linking the Mosque to the town, that the Pirates had to force.

three ships!

Preview of the 25m Pirate Game tomorrow.

Running a 25mm Pirate game tomorrow/Sat at our local store, Treefort Games. Sabrina, my wonderful wife, helped set up everything at the house so that I'd know what to pack. The Crimson Brotherhood is heading for Mombasa. Should be fun!

The Vizier arrives!

Just finished the walls for my Arab town off the coast of East Africa. Centerpiece for a Pirate game next month at my local store Treefort Games. I'm keeping the scenario under wraps, but if any of you remember an old gaming article on Mombasa, then you may have an inkling of what's coming.
