Border Reiver 2025

On Sunday the club put on a Chain of Command game for the Border Reiver show. Sean did a superb job and managed to get through 2 games on the day, with the Americans and Germans taking a victory each.






Sean's new Chateau was a superb centre piece to the game. The game did seem well received with plenty of visitors. I though, took the opportunity to have a mooch around the show and pick up some loot, mainly around my latest project of the Barons War.

I picked up a 3d printed cart and trade goods from Iron gate scenery, walls from Last Valley, bases from Pendraken as well as some grass tufts, dice tray, paints and weathering powders. I also picked up a box of Fireforge serjeants as I obviously needed more of them.

Back at the club I ran another learning game of Barons War. Same terrain, different scenario and the battle fought in a different area of the table. It was also the first use of mounted troops on both sides, they didn't last long.









Now I await some dry weather to get some figures painted.

  1. A couple of super looking games, Neil! I see your recent marketing stalls were orders into service in the Barons War game.

  2. Superb games both, Scotty - that chateau certainly is magnificent, and all the other scenery on the WW2 game is equally impressive, as is likewise the Barons War table.
    Sounds like you picked up some useful "treats" at the show too!

    1. Cheers Donnie, I think the cavalry units were too small and taken out by bowmen before they could effect the game
