Here is a selection of photographs from my fun pirate game using models from http://www.toysforapound.com
The scenario is that two crews of pirates are trying to capture an unmanned battery of (spring-fired) cannon. Each crew member has a specific skill or aspect. For example, Two-Hand Harry has two cutlasses, used with equal dexterity. Boozy Pete carries his tankard everywhere and lashes out at friend or foe. Blind Jake is a dead-shot with a pistol, but at the nearest moving body. Dead Fred (a skeleton) is a former crew member who moves at random and frightens anyone he meets into uncontrollable retreat.





Just goes to show … being already dead is the best way to avoid being killed in a Pirate Skirmish! Excellent post!
