Nicopolis 1396 – Devon Wargames Group

[carojon]

One of the games played at this month’s meeting of the DWG was a Swordpoint game, recreating the events of Nicopolis in 1396.

As you can see the chaps got a lot of toys out on the table and much fun was had playing the rules.

That there’s a proper wargame. Not much maneuvering, just straight at ’em!

A group of us visited the Nicopolis battlefield a few years ago. From my own observations of a memorable trip, I hope you won’t mind me saying that your depiction of it lacks a few things:

• a gurning, toothless Bulgarian shepherd;
• a cartload of gypsies with sadly limited access to soap and water;
• two female pickpockets.

Joking apart: I’m no medievals buff but this is a battle I do have some interest in, so it’s great to see your AAR. Nice job!

As someone still covered from top to toe with hoofprints I think it also lacked the relevant defensive terrain that might have helped me a little but then I blame the gurning , toothless North Devon shephard who organised the game .

Not that I am bitter or anything ……………..,  anyway it is always nice to get that many figures out on the table , that has always been one of the main purposes of our club along with trying out new or obscure rulesets.
