Lardy Event

 A friend asked me a while back if I would like to help him put on a game of Sharp Practice at a Lardy event . I said yes as I had the rules and wanted to help. I didn’t know the SP rules well at all but l read up a wee bit. So the day of the event came round yesterday and l got the train to Musselburgh where it was held. Some pictures-

Getting unpacked and organised. The game was set in the War of 1812.

Another table at the event. Interesting looking marker for tracking morale as well as a great looking table.

Our game players and the game organiser on right.

Table next to us was ww2 . I was particularly interested in the organising of units on a side table.

Some in game shots with advancing troops going along a road…

Failed selfie by this blog’s owner. Game in progress.

The attack on the fort and artillery emplacement. Smoke and noise.

A unit takes casualties . I can’t recall which unit it was but it was a regular one.

The artillery placement and fort. 

Troops massed ready to engage the fort and its defenders.

I enjoyed the game and the players did too. A big thank you to C for the invite and encouragement. I had to leave at lunchtime but other games took place pm. 

I would definitely attend/ help again. I really enjoyed Sharp Practice, found the system and the story telling element exciting. I was intrigued by the  other games and periods. All in all an excellent outing.
