My first Blood and Plunder solo battle report! Two forces just under 150pts each fighting the Take and Hold scenario from the main rulebook.

Lovely table set up and great battle report. Summer was a long time ago, so hope it was worth the wait! Looks like it was. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice table and good looking miniatures. BaP is one of my favourite games and I really like land battles. It has a certain quality with the card driven activation. As you play two of my factions....on a table like that the Brethren of the Coast had an uphill battle against the natives, we played similar match ups with the natives more or less always the winners. It is okay for me as going into the jungle has to be a problem for the Europeans. Bows are quite simple, you do not get any reload markers so can't run out of "shots", meaning you can fire multiple times (depending on the activation card and whether you want/can push your units) which is a HUGE advantage. On the other hand your opponent gets a -3 save, so even being in the open means they have a 6+ save...some troops even get a 2+ save when in cover. The one Flibustier should have been removed as you can't have double the amount of fatigue than figures in a unit...a unit with 2 figures left and 4 fatigue is removed from play. Not quite sure about the strike test and the 50% left of your army, I don't have the scenario in my head atm, normally you have to test when you do have two more strike points than your opponent. The report is very nice but is a bit short for details (which sometimes is really quite okay) but I think you have to be a bit more restrained next time and have to focus fire and get rid of the smaller units...units of 4 are too small in BaP if you ask me....5 and 6 is okay (I like to play with more units uusually, so end up with smaller ones) but 4 is a bit playing with fire. Hope you keep it going, it is a wonderful system.

Wow, what an incredibly thoughtful set of comments - thank you! I enjoy the land battles too and I’m hoping to get a group game in this weekend. I’m definitely planning on larger units in future - I like the idea of small groups but they’re just not effective. Looking forward to Port Royal too!

@@axisandaliens I might be a bit old school and enjoy to write about things and my ideas. :) Nothing wrong with a thumbs up but that is sometimes a bit too superficial for me. Anyway, BaP is really interesting and I like it much and I look forword to maybe your next BaP report. Port Royal might be something that I enjoy but I do already play a lot of small skirmish games and not quite sure whether I find the time for another one...we wil see.

Beautiful game board as usual. Awsome battle report. Been waiting for you to premiere this board since you first showed it.

Great video. So you are aware Firelock has free solo rules, that I have yet to try, but may be worth a look. Are you partaking in the Summer of Plunder? The discord is up and people are declaring for factions.

I’ve not tried their solo rules but I’ll look them up, thanks for the recommendation! Getting together with my B&P playing friends tomorrow so I’m sure we’ll figure out a plan for the summer. I’ll likely be running my natives.
