I have another battle report for you and this was a fun one! Here we have a 200 point land game testing the massive 65 model Spanish Horde vs a 32 model Native force led by legendary King Golden Cap. I played the Natives as Attacker in the Breakthrough scenario vs my friend Guy Rheuark … Continue reading Battle Report: Land Breakthrough – Golden Island Tribe vs Spanish Militia
It's been a full three months since I got a play a game with a real live opponent! My local game store was able to open up a few of their gaming tables recently and I met up with my friend Guy to play his 200 point game. Both of us had fresh forces to … Continue reading Battle Report: Amphibious Escort – Black Caribs vs French Caribbean Troupe à Cheval
New Proposed Native Characters for Blood & PlunderBy Guy Rheuark I recently started playing the native nationality in Blood & Plunder and found that they offer a very different and fun way to play. As a historical gamer, playing the natives also inclined me to research the natives of the period, how they lived, dressed … Continue reading The Need for New Characters for Natives
It's been hard to get games in over the past couple months. It's been good to see people get a lot more painting done while being locked away at home but I still hunger for that that occasional dose of real gaming! Firelock Games has quickly put together an excellent set of solitaire rules to … Continue reading Solitaire Battle Report – Westo Natives vs Dutch Navy
I haven't been able to actually play a real game of Blood & Plunder for several weeks now so I set up a solo game using the Palisade Fort for a second time. Last game was 100 points but I upped it to 200 for this game. At 200 points the fort takes up a … Continue reading Solo Battle Report – Caribbean Tribes vs English Caribbean Militia

I’ve been writing a series of articles that look at distinctives of individual factions (there are several factions within each nationality i.e Spanish Militia are very different than Spanish Corsairs) and those articles get into the nitty-gritty details of units, abilities, and strategies. This … Continue reading The Native American Nationality and Factions

The Forces Both forces are very similar to the forces used in my last battle report with the French fielding lots of … Continue reading Battle Report – French Canadian Militia vs Caribbean Tribes
I've painted most of my Native models with a fairly "brown" skin tone, mimicking the Firelock promotional models. This easy Tan Earth+Seraphim Sepia paint job works fine and I did a painting guide on the Warriors using this method but this guide will be using a different set of paints with the goal of a … Continue reading Warrior Musketeers – A Painting Guide
I've been playing the Natives for almost a year now and they have proved to be a fun and strong "nationality". They have proved strong enough that for a while, no one in my club was really enthusiastic about fighting them. That has progressed to a point where a couple players have become focused on … Continue reading Battle Report – Caribbean Tribes vs French Canadian Militia
The canoa has the distinction of being the smallest vessel in Blood & Plunder. It seems to be primarily used by the Native factions but I figured it would be worth posting a short article looking at this boat in detail. SpeedThe canoa isn't a fast boat, but it isn't really a slow boat either. It's a … Continue reading Ship Overview – The Canoa
