The Ruin of Mimsie Hawley - Preamble

...and now for something completely different! Today sees the start of our attempt to reconnect with the rest of the world (well, Doug and Vagabond anyway) via an on-line wargame. Inspired by other gamers, we are going to play three games, perhaps simultaneously. Each of us will host one game whilst participating in the other two games in a virtual sense. Clear as mud, eh? My game (set in Elizabethan times) will feature here and I will link to the other two when they post an AAR. I am intending to post my AAR turn by turn.

So, without further ado I present 'The Ruin of Mimsie Hawley' being a storye of loveth and revenge in several divers partes. I am using Osprey's En Garde! rules and acting as umpire. Doug is Sir Jaspar Cowie and Vagabond is Sir Francis Hawley.

Victory points have been set, as follows:
