Royal Marines Fall is here and the brush is back in action.  I'm putting on a SP2 pirate game as we have used pirates in the past and a few of the gang of small forces.  This will by a game based on a scenario from TFL 2017 Xmas special.  I have done two groups of 8 with a Lieutenant and a Corporal.  The figures are Wargames Foundry and lovely to paint.  The game was great fun and we call the weekend MaTL3 (Mistake at the Lake).  I used two Geek Villian Battle Mats, which are superb.  Need a few more boats to ferry to troops in.  The Marines got 3 moves as the pirate on watch was under the influence, (go figure).  The game was a bloody fight with the Marines losing Force Morale with the pirates at 2 Force Morale, so could have gone either way.  We did forget the extra prominent leader rolls when the pirates had to bad things happen roll.   Could have made a big difference.  Great game.

My estimate is 20 pts for the trap, 5 for the 28mm adventurer and 5 for the base and spider?  Total 30.
