Hold the Line Virtual Huzzah! Convention

Friday Night I started the convention hosting a Game of Black Seas.

My game featured a British Attack on French Port where a French 1st rate was stuck on a sandbar. One group of English light ships (Frigates Brigs and fireships) was lead by Chris.

The other wing of ships of the line lead by Bob came on slowly letting the fireship attack develop.

With the French line broken by the fireships and hammered with gunfire from the battleship the French fight hard but are overwhelmed.

In the end a French frigate and a ship of the line where captured. Two other French ships of the line where destroyed and the 1st rate was also destroyed.  All the major English ships escaped though many will be in the dockyard for quite some time.

Saturday afternoon I played in an excellent home brew game "sword play" hosted by Kurt. 

I ran the 3 Musketeers in swashbuckling battle with the Cardinals guard.  The fight felt very much like a cinematic sword battle but was quite quick to play. 

The fight ended with the death of Rochefort. Later Saturday night took part on in an interesting Napoleonic battle on Table Top Simulator.  I don't have any pictures, my French were holding but the result wasn't even close. 

Sunday I played in Arofan's Sharp practice game where "l'grande fromage" was trying to escape the English and their allies. 

I managed to take out the Spanish Guerrillas after they hurt my friends.  

Despite hurting the English the French where looking like they might fall to Portuguese and probably did. 

They did distract the enemy long enough for "l'grande fromage" to get way despite being charged by a lone Scotsman.
