Mobs Rule!

 Date-29th April 1800 & odd.

Place-Transylvanian Garvald.

       Tonight was a first delve into 7TV’s Dracula with a recreation of Jonathan Harker’s stagger through the village to safety with the friendly villagers running interference for him and this they basically they did in fine style.Obviously young Andrew has watched the films.

My main girl before the split.

Jonathan about to do the High Hurdles.

       I was in charge of the undead and I thought I was in for a shoe in victory.Nope Andrew came in mob handed and thwarted my plans.My plan was to split my forces up as I was assuming they would be unbeatable but no.Let’s just say I’ll be better prepared the next time.

“The Moon Shone On The Village Green!”

The mob comeths!

The plot was to get Jonathan Harker through the village and over the wooden bridge.He actually came out of the starting blocks like a hurdler and vaulted the first wall with ease.So much for him being under the weather.

My miles away villagers.

“Hey Presto!”The dead coachmaster appears.

        I had placed my Evil star complete with a couple of wolves at her side ready to pounce on the unsuspecting Harker but for some reason,must have been the pint of foaming ale,I split them up making them easy pickings for the village mob.I had also placed my villagers about a thousand miles away across the other side of the table so they by the time they arrived they’d be knackered.

And another mob!

The second mob sideways for some reason.

       I set two of my wolves at the baying mob but they tended to be a bit toothless when they indulged in hand to hand or should I say fangs to body so they were unceremoniously cudgelled to death by the torch and pitchfork armed villagers.First blood to the mob!

The Vampiress splits from the wolves.

The villagers dispatching the wolves.

       My vampiress looked to seek revenge but was taking potshots from more of the ungrateful rabble.This I thought was a bit iffy as normal bullets seemed to be doing her damage but alas that be the rules. My reinforcements came in the form of the dead coachmaster  aided by another couple of wolves.Trailing behind the a long way off were thr my village mob from afar but my initial placement of them meant they were only going to be in at the death which actually meant their death as the local burgermeister had the ability to command an awful lot of the rabble to be freely commanded.

Making way for Harker.

“And Voila!A red triangle.”

     I sent the wolves charging in but apart from biting the local priest on the bum proved to be rather toothless yet again giving time for the rabble to dispatch them with aplomb.The coachmaster tried to seek revenge as he had just witnessed his mistress dissolve into goo and his pets done away with but alas the burgermeaister done away with him.Game 

Callous Villagers.

And he’s made it.

    This was game over as Harker had made the bridge with little real effort.

       A very good game although a bit one sided.I think I’m going to have to stop being nice.Comme Ci Comme Ca!

         Next week sees the second scenario being played this time taking place in Whitby but alas I have to indulge in the workie thing.

     All figs,scenery and scenario brought to you all from the collection of El Presidente.

          This has been a Garvald Film Studios Production.
