After Action Report – English VS Natives [Blood & Plunder Week]
October 2, 2018 by dignity
Justin sits down with Mike and Kai from Firelock Games to go over the tactics used in their Blood & Plunder game between the English and Natives.
The guys talk about the changes made in bow combat in regards to their game and how players might best organise and direct their forces if a component is made up of bows. Mike and Kai also get to show off some of the new units coming with the expansion.
How would you best use the newly reworked bow units?
Which faction will you be playing as?
Great looking galleon
Quickly turning into my favorite game, just a shame I’m terrible at it 😀
Looks great!
Great game to watch
Oh cool, the creators are local to me
Got the Natives in the 2nd kickstarter.. still painting them though. Looking forward to fielding them.. though I see the tactic for the English of 1/2 firing and with the sound of thunder effect them being more effective that way maybe.. savng actions but still loading on fatigue
This game is starting to develop into a very interesting game and I am loving the new troop types especially the European Ground forces.
Those uniformed soldiers are gonna look funny next to my pirate… ahem privateers.
yohoyohooo
This is now my favorite game of all time. I love how hard they work on making it better!
I like the strategy of shooting a lot of arrows to cause fatigue and then running in to finish them.
Looks like a great game. Can’t wait to get started.
Wonderful native figures.
The expansion is great, Natives and European give a totally different feel that the original factions (Spanish, French, English, Unaligned). Can’t wait to see what they come up with next.
Having more options for units (to a point) is always a good thing IMHO.
Don’t forget: the bows can no longer take that 2nd shot fatigue-free. And I will have to try 1/2 shots more often so I can advance more…
Nice!
The native americans seem interesting. I like that they expanded the game out of the caribbean, means i can use my Iroquois from Muskets&Tomahawks against some pirates!
who doesn’t love pirates, this game looks great on the table! I prefer the Dutch privateers
Brilliant new units, great to see a hit and run faction added, gives a good refresh to just shooting at each other with dud powder lol
I just recive the last kickstarter and i don’t know why i order only 1 Ship and one Starter box because now i am only one player in my country and dont have the spare force to do the presentation to my friends. But the Limited edition of the book looks amazing!
im going to be printing ships soon as i was om the printable scenery lost islands kickstarter, with english navy crew id be a happy chap but can i stop at one thats the question.
I love those new native models.
A very attractive game. I hope to have the opportunity to try it soon.
This would make a great boot camp (HINT HINT)
