We had our first Silver Bayonet campaign game on Tuesday 2nd of May. As there were an odd number we played a 3 player game with us each competing against each other. The Russians of Rob, Prussians of Wayne, and the French from Guru. We were playing the first scenario trying to find the Hobgoblin and destroy him/her.

TURN ONE

The French Sergeant Marcel move forward explore the first “clue marker” while Corporal Godefroy fires to keep the Russians at bay.

Russian scum attacking the local inhabitants.

Father Severus moves to a second clue marker but cannot explore it until next turn. Vivandeir Clarisse follows while Corporal Jules provides support.

The rest of the French move in between these two parties to add support where required.

Halt who goes there! “Honk honk” was the reply! Meanwhile a Russian has bit the dust from Prussian fire.

A fight over the cow pen sees the Prussian swordsmen shot down by the Russians in reply.

Prussians advancing on a clue marker.

TURN 2

The Prussians search a clue marker and find the Hobgoblin who is rampaging towards the Russians.

The Prussian Officer takes him on and inflicts a pile of wounds. Yuck a Hobgoblin with piles!

The Russians shoot the Hobgoblin and fail to wound but re-roll and take him out!

Poor dead “hobby”.

The Were bear finally appears after several attempts and heads towards the Prussian Commander.

The scene so far (and yet so near?)!

The “cuddly wuddly” hovers of the Prussian but is eventually taken out by French musketry.

TURN 3

The French Officer searches their third clue marker in the farmyard.

French volleys at the Russians.

Take a gander at that for harassing the Goose and Goslings!

The Russian Officer takes out another Prussian which causes the closest carnivorous moo moo to munch munch.

With all of the clue markers dealt with we all started to “head for the hills” and called the game.

The post game phase saw Guru end up with the most rewards, a Prussian die of his wounds and a down figure the Russians wanted to die survive!

As you can see the game was taken very seriously and a great fun time was had by all.

Same time, same channel for the next thrilling episode.
