I got to help run another Blood & Plunder demonstration at a local game store! My club hosted a demo day in my home town of Oregon City back in November and we made some contacts that opened up an opportunity to run this demo at Next Level Gaming, a brand new store in Salem, … Continue reading Demo Day at Next Level Gaming, Salem, Oregon

Armada de Barlovento – A Faction Breakdown
The Armada de Barlovento has many similarities to the Spanish Guarda Costas but overall it's a more well-trained and hard-hitting faction. Adding Soldados as core units and moving Marineros Piqueros into the core column really changes the flavor of this Spanish naval faction. Force RulesYou can tell it's going to be a fairly strong faction … Continue reading Armada de Barlovento – A Faction Breakdown
Completed Spanish Commander – Zárate
I've been playing the 20 point commander Andres de Ochoa y Zarate recently and I decided I should paint up a commander as an older "Feeble" captain.

I posted a painting guide for a red trim over blue coat color scheme … Continue reading Completed European Soldiers

This turned into a fast, bloody and brutal game that only lasted a couple rounds! Summary Joseph F vs Bryan … Continue reading Battle Report – Dutch Navy vs Armada de Barlovento
Guarda Costas – A Faction Breakdown
The Guarda Costas was the original seagoing Spanish faction when the game was released and while there are some other solid choices for taking Spain out on the waves, the Guarda Costas has some unique advantages. Faction Rules I was surprised to see the Guarda Costas has the +2 on the roll to determine attacker … Continue reading Guarda Costas – A Faction Breakdown
