A demo game by the "Alde Garde"on behalf of the Lance and Longbow Society.

1368: Clash of Dukes / BRABANT vs GUELDERS.

Scenario:
This scenario deals with a (partly) fictional confrontation between both Dukes in 1368. The Brabancon army with a siege train has marched north to the border-castle Ter Horst, some 10km west of the river Meuse and start a siege of the castle.
Duke Eduards of Guelders men have been lucky to catch a foraging party of the Brabancon army, so that their approach is kept secret until the last moment. As the Guelders army arrives on the field, the Brabancon troops are busy with preparations to intensify the siege of the castle. Caught unprepared for a battle a large part of the Brabancon knights and men-at-arms enters the battlefield dismounted.

What do you see on the (10ft x 6ft) table:
The figures used are 25-28mm; a large part are the 30 years old Lamming figures and a lot of other figure makers.
The castle is scratch built and depicts the castle as it might have looked like about 1370. Some of the other houses are from Hudson & Allen and some are partly scratch-built; trees are from Last Valley and the terrain in general is home-made.

Rules:
We use the WAB-medieval rule-system for the first time.We have used the WABarmy lists as a base for our own Brabancon and Guelders armies. On our website www.aldegarde.nl there will gradually appear pics of our medieval armies and also background information to this demo game.
The demo game is closely linked to a series of articles by Peter Lenders on the struggle of Brabant for control of the Maas-Rhine region, which will shortly appear in the Hobilar.

Een demo-spel door Murphy's Heroes: "The Bridge over the River Quar".


De Quar burgeroorlog heeft na 400 jaar een beslissend moment bereikt. De Tiran Alykinder heeft in een poging de havens van de Inishcol Islands te veroveren de Red Star Mercenaries ingehuurd om de doorgang over de Bridge over the River Quar te forceren met hun infernale T'Ank en zodoende the Guns of Quar in de rug aan te vallen. De Inishcol Marines gooien alles in de strijd wat zij hebben maar hebben ultiem de hoop gelegd in de handen van het Q-Team. Speel de rol van Quarribal, Murquar, Mr Q and The Snout en probeer de aanval van Alykinders Red Star Mercenaries af te slaan. De Hindenquar, The Quarrion Queen, Quar Squibs, en The Cheshire Quar zullen onder meer ter beschikking staan. Een spel dat de toekomst van de Inishcol Islands en hun rum export zal bepalen.
Een particpatiespel voor 4 spelers. Are you on the Quar? Do you love it when a Quar comes together?


Een demo-spel door Tinsoldaten - aalborg Wargaming Society: "Sharpened Scythes ".
The Danes recapture Aalborg Castle during the "Torstensson's War" (1643-1644)
.

“Torstensson´s war” is an episode in “Thirty Years War” largely forgotten in Europe but still remembered in Denmark and Sweden. Following his disastrous intervention in the Thirty Years War between
1627 and 1629, from 1631 and on the Danish King, Chrisitian IV, observed with growing unease the Swedish victories in the war and the ever increasing Swedish power in Germany which threatened Danish interests in Northern Germany.
For his part the Swedish chancellor, Alex Oxenstierne, felt that the newly gained Swedish provinces along the Baltic Sea would be insecure unless Danish sea power in the Baltic was destroyed. The stage was set for a confrontation and in December 1643 Oxenstierne ordered the Swedish general Torstensson to attack the Jutland Peninsula from Germany. The formidable Swedish forces easily routed the Danish army and soon the whole of Jutland, including Aalborg, was occupied.
The Swedes occupied Aalborg with a substantial force led by general Wrangel commander of all Swedish forces in Jutland. While in Aalborg they improved and repaired the defenses of Aalborg Castle. Then in July 1644 Wrangel withdrew most of his occupying troops from Aalborg following rumors of an Imperial Army approaching Jutland. These new developments allowed local Danish noblemen, Vogn Vognensen, Jens Juel, and Niels Krag to assemble an hoc force of soldiers and peasants from the north of Aalborg. This land force was supported by the three “defensions” ships owned by Aalborg mercheants. “Denfensions” ships were large armed merchant ships built with royal subsidies to bolster naval strength during wartime.The Danish forces seem not to have been well armed since weapons and
ammunitions have to be procured after it arrived in Aalborg! On the other hand the Swedish garrison was not that aggressive as it stayed put in the castle while the Danes armed themselves.
At last, on 21 July the Danes attacked Aalborg castle from land and sea. After a stiff fight the Swedes surrendered the castle. It was a hollow victory, however, as the Danish forces have to retreat from Aalborg soon after, when Wrangel´s main force was reported to be nearing. The “defensions” ships had to be burned. The Torstenson War ended with a massive Danish defeat following Dutch
intervention on the Swedish side. The days of Danish supremacy in the Baltic were over, and from that date to the end of The Great Nordic War in 1721 the Swedes were the masters.
Our skirmish game aims to recreate a forgotten engagement in a forgotten war associated with Aalborg and we invite you to join us. Let the dice decide!
