Let’s Play: Joan Of Arc – The Siege Of Calais
October 14, 2019 by dignity
Justin and Gerry are back for another round of Joan Of Arc with Leo from Mythic Games.
Back Joan Of Arc 1.5
We're throwing down the epic Siege of Calais today in Joan of Arc, Gerry is attacking the walls with the dastardly English and Justin is rearing up the end with the French troops. Will Gerry be able to hold out and get into the walls in time or will Justin be able to toot toot his way to victory with that bloody musician leading the parade?
How would you Siege the walls of Calais?
There is something of the fox and the hare watching Gerry and Justin play games! The next time I am in the UK I plan to visit to Northern Ireland to see Belfast and visit OnTableTop. I would like to challenge Gerry to a game of SPQR or anything really, but I fear I am not up to his “Despicable Me” level of cunning…
Fantastic, I have genuinely these play throughs you have done. They alone have almost sold me on jumping in. Being able to run a siege scenario like this looks like a lot of fun. Now just have to find a 2-hour slot to watch.
Sod going there for holiday the ques to get in were ridiculous Lol
A great game guys.
I’ve been thinking about picking up The Hundred Years War volumes by Jonathan Sumption. I’ve noticed Gerry seems to like the subject. Are there any particular books that do the subject justice? If so, what would some of you recommend?
I’ve read the first and its a great book . Can be quite heavy going especially the chapters about French coin devaluation and the chapters on the trade between England and Flanders. I think book 1 took me about 2 months to read and now gearing myself up for volume 2
They have played too many games together recently. Its starting to get testy.
that was actually the second one we filmed. I think it’s mostly me annoyed with myself and not remembering all the rules
Cracking game gentlemen.Couldn’t help but chuckle as Leo said they changed the Archers Spikes because they were too powerful,but they left the Musician unchanged…
a french speaker thinks that is a mistranslation and it should be 1 bonus dice period.
That Castle is a bit lovely. Pushing a trebuchet about… maybe a bit unrealistic even for a miniatures game.
I kept my deployment thinking of it like a tabletop game and wanting the very buckets out of range of the castle walls. In hindsight I should have clustered them at the walls point blank and hammered the shite out of them
