Battle for the High Ground: A Tale of Two Momentum Swings

This game was actually played a few weeks ago, but a recent holiday delayed the write-up. We played Scenario 3: Hold the High Ground from the Chivalrous Bum rules, where the aim was to control any of the three hills - earning one victory point per hill held uncontested at the end of each round. Once again, it was Normans versus Merrymen. Turn 1 Both sides rushed forward in a scramble to seize the hills. Strong movement rolls saw the Normans surge ahead, quickly securing two of the objectives. Meanwhile, a lone Merrymen archer managed to clamber onto a hill and claim it. Running Score: Merrymen 1, Normans 2. Turn 2 Little John, Friar Tuck, and an archer charged up one of the Norman-held hills. “Up the slope, lads - drive them off!” bellowed Little John as arrows hissed overhead.

The prints are clean and well detailed, featuring the familiar lightweight armour and iconic Scout Trooper helmets that have made these troops fan favourites since their debut in Return of the Jedi. They make an excellent addition to any Star Wars collection, whether used as Imperial Remnant forces, backwater garrison troops, or fast-moving scouts supporting larger Imperial formations on the tabletop.

A tall, sharply dressed man stepped out first. A woman followed - red hair, structured bob, oversized 90s suit. They approached with steady confidence. “Agent Davids, FBI,” the man said, flashing a badge.   “Agent Gillian,” the woman added. The deputy nodded. “Something’s not right out here. Lights, chanting… a smell I can’t explain.” “Occult signs?” Gillian murmured.   “Possibly,” Davids replied. “Show us.” They headed into the silent woods - too silent - until a grinding, wheezing noise froze them in place. They reached a clearing. A blue police box stood there. Beside it: a man in a tweed jacket and bow tie, and a woman with wild blonde curls in a white leather jacket and boots. “I definitely packed a fez,” the man muttered.   “You always say that,” the woman replied. “Hands where...
