The Siege of Floyet Manor (Mini-Campaign)

Floyet Manor is ruled by Lady Obchanna, Countess áchv Floyye taq-Moledurssan, a recently widowed Jackewlinese noblewoman. A group of Dorroseani Reavers, thinking the estate an easy prey, launch an assault on her land, which triggers a short and bloody 'small war' on the borderland.

This is an Inter Arma 2.1. mini campaign with five games, the final comprising two alternative scenarios. If the units are re-statted, it could work with other skirmish rulesets as well.

The overarching narrative of the mini-campaign is that the outcome of each encounter has a sort of cascading effect on the following ones.

After some deliberation, I chose not to include my usual schematic drawings for each scenario, leaving the terrain mostly to the players' imagination and the limits of their available pieces of scenery.

The campaign consists of the following battles and skirmishes:

Dark Nights in Trashburgh - the things required

Buildings - the intention is to have at least one civilian building paired with each public one.

Currently built:

Guardhouse (playable interior, no lighting)

Tiny Monkey Inn (no interior, has lighting)

In the works:

Customs house or other misc. public building (single Pringle can - originally I wanted it to be a walled gatehouse, but it's too small and I want towers with a broad base and narrower tops) - only lighting

Floyet Manor house with LED and interior

Floyet Tower (large pringle can?)

Huts and outbuildings

Planned:

Small civilian house (single storey) - only lighting

Civilian house with small garden - only lighting

Rich civilian house (two-storey) - only lighting

The Jazygian embassy (Chateaux Magnutörk) - playable interior and lighting

Stockade (interior and lighting)

Old Gate Fort (interior and lighting)

Roman Church (lighting only)

A windmill and/or water mill

The question of lighting

What I mainly need now is micro LEDs and power sources. I think one or two circuits are enough for a building, with a single hidden switch per circuit. These can be sourced from Temu or other Chinese retailers.

Update: scored a few lengths of micro LEDs, now all I need is extra wire, batteries and switches, which can be sourced locally.

Banners for Gudugan Pudugan

These are sample banners to discern Banar in my Ancient era wargaming rules, Gudugan Pudugan. I plan on placing a small pole on the base of my 6mm figures with a bead, and these can then be attached and switched with the help of a wire loop glued to the top side of the banner. 

As you can see there are some for city states and others for mercenary companies. Most of them are fit for historical Ancient armies as well.

Each banner is a 200x200px template (of course one can resize the basic template or include a forked end and whatnot). They can also be pasted and mirrored for a flag with two sides.

Adopting Space Battles in Space by Spacecraft to a non-gridded version

I've run a few playtests with the aforementioned rules and they work pretty fine. However, I don't have a gridded tabletop, especially not a hex grid big enough to house ships the sizes I'm working with (although I remember seeing a manufacturer offering space-themed gaming mats with a hex grid overlay).

It's rather simple as all I need is to convert 1 hex = 2" and 1 point of turning = 60° to work with my existing few models (two Hot Wheels ST Enterprises which could be large cruisers, and some other scratchbuilt bits).

Firing arcs are calculated from the broadest dimension of the ship, at about 30°offset:

It would also be easy to produce some templates.

I've joined a few scratchbuilding FB groups and the spaceships I see there kind of give me inspiration to run a series of battles or a sandbox exploration campaign similar to the CITAW one, set in the Contested Zone of my Llamamen vs. Squirrelmen universe.

Italian Wars rehash

I think my previous campaign idea got off on the wrong footing, and that caused it to stall. I'd rather use a political/narrative method this time instead of a strictly area-based one.

Perhaps each faction could have a central zone and a few border zones, but campaign-wise there should be less emphasis on the battles than the positioning of armies, maintaning fickle alliances and scheming.

So here's my draft for the new campaign idea:

Mordavian Tank Ideas and Military Doctrine

The Mordavians currently have two types of tank:

Sanktos Amenigastos P-869 - T-18 type with modified turret

Sanktos Amenogogos P-763 - Large multi-turret heavy tank (perhaps on a tadpole hull)

Their artillery train is way worse, they mostly only have mountain guns.

Tanks are attached to infantry battalions, a single P-763 and a pair of P-869 are available for the battalion staff.

Mordavian infantry is organized much the same way as Jazygians, except they have battalions as the main level of organization instead of regiments.

Infantry brigade - two battalions

battalion - four to five companies

Company - three to four platoons of 4x10-men squads

Mordavian brigade commanders are expressly prohibited from concentrating their armor, as they are intended as a mainly infantry support weapon. A tank is only allowed to be risked in battle if it has ample infantry support available.

The Mordavian Air Corps has three fighter-bombers of WW1 vintage, looted from a far off field.

The information below is outdated by better rules since!

This is a campaign played with the Hex Conquest wargaming rules and Battles of the Riverland simulations on Roll20, because I'm lazy.

Great Ren, before being united, consisted of the Great Tetrarchate, similar tribes with their own territory.

The great tribes were Kú Tú, Tek Jüin, Bek Po and Shan Da.

Each tribe held four provinces, which were divided to four smaller territories. Each province had one or more fortresses.
