Raid on Lancaster, MA King Phillip's War

Dave Soucy hosted a game day at his home in Londonderry, NH a few weeks back.  I attended a partook in a game featuring a raid by Narragansett, Wampanoag and Pequot First Peoples on a Colonial garrison town of Lancaster.  The settlers had to escort supplies to the Garrison Fort and the First People's won if they captured settlers to hold for ransom and made off with supplies.  Dave Valentine was the gamemaster and he did a great job, especially with the wild bear.  The game ended in a draw with the warbands making off with captives and supplies and the supply wagon reaching the burning garrison house.  Wait, maybe King Phillip did win, since there was no fort to resupply?

Warbands head toward Lancaster as the supply wagon waits on the far side of the stream.

we grapple with the civilians at the entrance to the garrison house

Our warbands close with the garrison house

A melee with the civilians.  We want those women's hats.

Two warbands engage the Colonists in order to keep them at bay whilst their fellow warbands assault the garrison

Dave used a card system which added variability to the game.  One of the cards activated the bear which attacked the humans closest to it.  Unfortunately it was our troops.  Ouch. 

The melee spills into the house where the warbands make short work of the colonists. Capturing the women and supplies,
then burning the garrison house.
