Ambush in Bleakmoore

 This game was inspired by Table Top Teaser No2 Wagon Train by C S Grant that appeared in Battle for Wargamers magazine in April 1978. I played the scenario many times as a teenager using Airfix figures.

In this version, men from the Barony of Bleakmoore are bringing supplies to a small fortified camp in the Marches. They are led by Sir Roderik of Spode (name borrowed from PG Wodehouse). As they approach the fort they are attacked by mounted Wildmen. The fort garrison may not venture out but can fire and defend themselves.
