The League of Augsburg

Clarence Harrison - I've just finished going through my notes preparing records for my own Glorious Obsession. It is impossible for me to do a write up on every game we ran, but I wanted to highlight some of the action.

First of all, hats off to Captain Murray who had to be the most active officer on the table. He was killed in game one by an errant shot (Event Card) that caused the rout of the...

Clarence Harrison - Yes, I apologize, but I'm the one taking the photos so you get more shots of the Scotsman. It was sort of unavoidable giving the object of this post...

On behalf of myself and the aforementioned Mr. Hilton, thanks to everyone who played in our games. I tried to get photos of each session that included all the gamers, but it's like herding cats! Maybe next time I need to make...

Clarence Harrison - Whew! Seven games in four days!








I am sooooo going to get it when Hilton gets back to a computer. He...

Clarence Harrison - Three days, six games...









So far we've had four victories for the Jacobites and two for the Sons of Derry, though I think the later had the most decisive win, causing the game to be called on turn 8 out of 10. Now I'm off to bed as I was out drinking with Scotsmen and Canadians!

One more...

Clarence Harrison - Two more great games, but one sequence stood out...

Clarence Harrison - I'll write some full reports after the show, but wanted to throw up a couple of quick shots...









Fantastic day. Had a great dinner out. Interest was so high we decided to run a SECOND game Thursday night. Off to bed because...

Clarence Harrison- Ok, Historicon is next week! The only thing I have left to do is paint the edges of the boards (working on them tonight) and paint four models for the crew of the Kestrel. Everything else is ready. The Hilton invasion has even begun (no need to hide your wives and children as he brought his own... mind your fruity drinks though). I am due to pick him up in Richmond next...

Clarence Harrison - Something that may be a bit unusual in our Pennyburn Mill for those familiar with Beneath the Lily Banners is the large number of singly based models. These represent commanded shot, detached companies, forlorn hopes and the like. The rules for these formations will be in the scenario book due out later this year...




These models were commissioned by Barry, shipped across the...

Clarence Harrison - Ok, I couldn't resist. I wasn't going to post any more photos, but I got a couple new lenses (birthday present from my cats - they are very generous) for my camera and took a pile of pics getting used to them. It seemed a shame to let them go to waste!

Clarence Harrison -  Not long now! Here are the last two brigadiers needed for our game at Historicon...

Captain Adam Murray of Derry...


General Maumont, French general in the employ of the Jacobites...


Like most of the models in this period, these gentlemen may serve for many different characters in the future...

Clarence Harrison- Work is winding down on preparations for our Historicon game. I still have two squadrons to paint which will be the work of a few weeks. I have a couple of brigadiers to paint, a few small terrain bits to add, and I still have a 2x2' section of the board to finish, but I took time out last week to dig into the little extras that add an extra layer of detail (and fun) to a...
