Goblins (& Pixies) to Your Mounts

Let the Jousting Begin 

So, the goblins (Nath) won 3-1 and won extra spikes as a trophy. The pixies (me) were robbed!

Team coaches can be seen in the background.

The two jousting teams are a real mix of manufacturers with Oakbound pixie team coming out tops. I struggled to find enough minis to make two convincing teams. So, in the end I used Oakbound (very pleased with the look of the pixie team), Ral Partha Europe, Bad Squiddo, Warbases, classic Citadel and Wargames Atlantic. I would like to improve the goblin team but that can come later once we have played a few games.

And I have an idea for a Halloween themed team. 

The Pixies ready for the off

So, one game in on Wartnose Goblin Jousting, it was a lot of fun. The rules were easy to pick up but had enough quirks from other rules to make them different from other games. And the randomised movement templates actually fitted the game very well.

Once we had read the rules correctly, combat sped up nicely (we didn’t read the rules on double and triples right on the first read through). The only question point we had about the rules was if the Dirty Tricks rules were dirty enough. We wanted an occasional more dramatic effect such as unseating a rider. But that could be just us!
