| French & Indian War fun for the whole family! |
I ran two sessions of my French & Indian War skirmish game,
Song of Drums and Tomahawks, at Advance the Colors 2016 two weekends ago. Both games were completely full with six players. Everyone seemed to have a good time. Since most people have read earlier blog posts about this game and setup, this entry will be mostly photos.
The event has 3 one-on-one scenarios taking place simultaneously, as the Indians launch a raid into Ohio to drive back the frontier. For some reason, I did not take many pictures of "They Died in the Smoke," but there are plenty of others of the other two.
Settlement Raid
A small settlement deep on the Ohio frontier is raided by Indians on the warparth
 |
| Frontiersmen take cover and fire as Indians close in for the attack |
 |
| Tribesmen use the cover of the settlers own fields and fences to move closer to the defenders |
 |
| Not knowing where the raiders will appear, the frontiersmen must watch all sides of their settlement |
 |
| A group of Indians use the cover of a log cabin's walls to enter the settlement |
 |
| The settlement leader keeps a wary out for signs of the raiders at the start of the skirmish |
Wagon Train Through Peril
An extended family loads up their wagons with women and children and tries to make it through to local blockhouse
 |
| "Here they come!" As feared, Indian raiders lay in wait along the family's path to the blockhouse |
 |
| As muskets are discharged, combat becomes brutal and bloody with tomahawk and knife |
 |
| After more than two years of running my game, I get more and more repeat players all the time! |
