1) Royalist damn your eyes, what other choice can their be? Apart from those cursed rebel scum...
2) Not having the book I will assume there is a Royalist
list?
3) Lord Flasheart will take command! His full name is Lord Tiberius Derek Ramses
Flasheart, and he is a cad of the first water.
He will happily take candy from a baby, change sides in the middle of a
battle, and deliberately stay in a hostelry of dubious reputation and morals
while his ‘allies’ fight his wars for him.
His hobbies include staying in hostelries of ill-repute, ‘conversing’
with ladies of low moral standings, and stamp collecting. His aim is to be the richest and most
powerful man in England – after the King, and perhaps Prince Wwupert, of course,
and to launch his own brand of hair-care products. He is allergic to lead shot and honesty –
both cause him to come out in a rash.
4) Lord Flasheart hails from that stronghold of Royalist
sympathies – Wrecsam! In front of the
biggest crowd every seen in that part of the world (3 rabid down and outs, a
reporter for the Pig Monthly Gazette with a hat and feather fixation, and a
dachshund named Colin) he has raised his standard and begun to bang his drum to
raise troops to support his monarch! He has
subsequently been served with an ASBO for noise pollution.
5) Lord Flasheart is considered untrustworthy by even has
closest, erm, ‘friends’. However he
cares not a jot for their opinions and has rolled his territories, coming up
with the staggeringly pathetic total of two villages to add to his area of
control. He has claimed the nearby village
of Holt (with its small castle), and that of Beeston (with its larger castle
and central position in Cheshire).
6) Mustering the troops - Curse your eyes sirs, did you not
read point 2? Scan that list in and
email it to me post-haste so I may chose from my best men. My mathematics says that I have 500pts to
spend, and once I know what I can purchase for that I aim to create a solid
body of foote, with my prize mortar – Roaring Meg – taking centre stage! Flasheart will lead, with Sir Hugh of Beeston
as his second in command.
7) Take the Field!
Seek out your enemies, destroy them in battle, take their territories
and claim Victory! – This will be like giving giant chocolate buttons to the
governor of Hull; easy!
And on the subject of what his army selection will be:
Damn your eyes sir!
Do you besmirch the mathematical reputation of Lord Flasheart?!? I will
have you clapped in……oh……yes, I see what you mean. No harm in a man trying though is there?
May I introduce - The Grand Army of Wrecsam:
General: Lord Flasheart presiding, CV8 (boring, what a
pity).
Brigadier: Sir Hugh of Beeston.
Hopton’s Regiment of Foote: 1 pike block & 2 musket
sleeves
The King’s Lifeguard Regiment of Foote: 1 pike block & 2
musket sleeves
Stradlings Regiment of Foote: 1 pike block & 2 musket
sleeves
Brigadier Wolfe’s Horse: 1 regiment of gallopers
Archibald Wrigglies Storming Party
Roaring Meg: 1 mortar battery
A grand total of 442 points spent. Who in their right minds would garrison
Altringham? Ghastly place.
