I’m doing the “foraging at a village” scenario of Pikeman’s Lament. Its the autumn of 1644 and MacColla’s irish and highlanders descend on a small highlands village near the chieftan’s home in Lorne, to burn and pillage Campbell lands. Meanwhile, the local Clan Campbell garrison at Dunstaffnage has been dispatched as the village has not paid its taxes to the Campbell chieftans. The villagers themselves are sick of both MacDonalds and Campbells and have sworn no allegiance.

In a continuation of the 1640s chaos in the highlands, After successfully sacking a village in Lorne, Royalist General Alasdair MacColla rests his troops in the outskirts of town in houses, an old windmill, and the ruins of a Kirk. As they slept, the local Campbell covenanter troops attacked. The royalists quickly fell in line to repel them. Unfortunately for the Royalists, two houses were burned, but at great cost to the Covenanting forces.

Gaming rules were Pikeman’s Lament.
