The Scottish Highlands- the game and reflection on it

The game was great fun.Time flew by as I played it out solo yesterday. Here is a link to the rules I used-

The Fachan was a Great Hero with Power 3,the Kelpie 2 and the Ghillie dhu 1.This made them powerful characters in the game.The war dogs were used under light infantry category.One,of many, things I like about Ross's rules is the way we are encouraged to add our own ideas etc to his splendid core.

I gave them a + 1 in combat the first round for ferocity.Here they are in action.

Next time I will give an advantage to the Kelpie for fighting in the burn I think.

I allowed three figures to fight with the either the  Kelpie and Fachan at a time due to their size.The Kelpie or Fachan through a die their opponent one each .Scores were compared and modifiers applied.Hits then taken.So at times the Fachan (for example) hit a figure and parried(same score in die) the other two.Clumsily written here but it worked well.

The game went well and ended with a marginal win for the Glen inhabitants- less of their units ran away!I had meant to use a wizard but forgot during the game as i got caught up in playing the battle.I will use one next time! here is a figure I forgot to mention in my previous post the Ghillie Dhu-

Seen here defending his forest home.

I hope this all may have encouraged you to have a look at the rules and try them (with or without fantasy components if you wish) with your figures.As for me I will add to my collection  for this "period" and game it again soon.Finally a picture of the defeated command group (piper,hero/chieftain and chaplain) leaving the glen-

Its as if he's saying "I'LL BE BACK...!"

and I am sure if I have anything to do with it he will.
