En Garde in Venice

I set up the whole of my TTCombat Streets of Venice display (so far) and gave the layout a run through with a brief, solo En Garde game.

On with the game......... A trio of dodgy characters are out to kidnap a Papal Prelate.

Two tough guys looking for trouble.

Whilst their third comrade lurks on a stairway.

The Prelate and his bodyguard.

Two of the kidnappers rush towards the Prelate and his guards.

Who move forward to shield their master. The arquebus armed guard wounds one of the attackers in the shoulder.

The last guard crosses swords with the last kidnapper, who is moving up behind the Prelate and his party.

But, the guard is no match for a professional!

Another guard clashes with an attacker, As the spearman falls, the arquebusier hits the wounded kidnapper with a second shot, finishing him off.

The arquebusier frantically tries to reload, but his attacker rushes up and cuts him down before he can get off another shot. The Prelate draws his sword and successfully holds his attacker off.

But the arrival of the third assailant overpowers the Prelate. The thugs carry off their victim, leaving a trail of bodies bleeding in the streets.
