Puebla ready(-ish)

I've reached the point where I'm happy to run a first playtest of the Puebla scenario for Steel Lard. Hopefully I'll get a game in this coming weekend.

The terrain looks like this at the start of the game:

In the foreground are the French siege-lines. To the right is the penitentiary. The rest of the built-up area is divided in blocks or manzana in Mexican Spanish.

I want to add some rubble to the board before it sees action at Steel Lard but it'll do for now.

Back from Scotland

I'm now back from a family holiday in southern Scotland with some pictures of a couple of peel towers.

The first is Hallbar Tower (aka Braidwood Castle) where we stayed for the week.

Then we have a few pictures of the tower within the RSPB reserve at Loch Winnoch. This is only accessible on one side but it has a helpful interpretation board.

I still need to build a peel tower to act as a stronghold for one of my Border Reiver HOTT armies.
