Title: Clubbing It! El Cid/Early Crusades Large WAB V.2 Game
Post by: Atheling on Jun 14, 2025, 02:46 PM
For some reason I can't find the right place for battle reports so please move if this is in an inappropriate spot.

We played another one of a series of large pointed games (all rough points- no gamey-ness here!) last week.

Much fun was had by all with the game proving to be decisive for the Moors.

A full write up and a load of imaged can be seen on my Just Add Water Blog here:

Lovely photos Darrell, and great link to your stunning battle report. How many big figures on that tabletop? Wow!

Warhammer Ancient Battle rules too, that's a blast from the past. My 1st edition copy gather dust on the bookshelf.

great Berber and First Crusader armies....

Beautiful looking game - sounds fun.

The Muslim left does look well protected by woods / olive groves, so I was surprised to see so many Spanish knights on that side of the battlefield (rather than on the Spanish left).
