I recently ran a 4-player Gothic Horror game set in Venice, it was nice to get my canals out again. It took my newest faction, the Hungarian Fellowship (werewolf hunters), also playing was the Vatican Cognoscenti, a group of Puritan Witchfinders and a pack of werewolves. A talisman of great power was on a mysticly propelled gondola, travelling down the canals of Venive. The objective was to have conrol of the talisman, by having one of your characters on the gondola when it left from the far end of the table.
The game was great fun if a little confused at times (3-way melees!). Here's a few shots of some of the action.
The intitial set-up.
Some of my Hungarians cross a bridge, keeping pace with the moving gondola.
Whilst others form a rearguard to prevent the werewolves from crossing to their side.
One werewolf makes and early bid for the talisman, jumping onto the gondola in the first round, but my crossbowman takes him down with a silvered crossbow bolt!
A brave Vatican axeman attempts to prevent the Loup Garrou from crossing a bridge, it did not end well!
Werewolves, aided by a demonic wolf, charge into the Papal Cognoscenti.
Further down the canal, one of the Witchfinder's musketeers and a Vatican crossbowmen wait for the gondola.
The Papal Legate defies the demonic wolf with his blessed sword...oh, it breathes fire!!!
A second werewolf jumps onto the gondola, but my deadeye crossbowman strikes again! Two werewolves with 2 shots, he is on form today!
A confused melee breaks out as the gondola serinly drifts by!
Another view of the fight on the bridge.
My Hungarian Fellowship clear away the Papal troops from the bridge and one of my men leaps onto the gondola. Almost home and dry!
Unfortunatly, as he passed under the last bridge he was shot by one one of the Witchfinder's musketeers and the Witchfinder leapt onto the gondola in the final turn before it drifted off the end of the table.
