This scenario is designed for use

with the Flintloque range of gures

from Alternative Armies. It is based
around the exploits of Major Sharke
and pits his Rieorcs against the
vile Elves of Armorica.

gures in it: Sharke, Harpy, Hagsmun,

Tunge, Arris and Purkinz who are all
Rieorcs of the 105th Regiment of Foot.
Now while this was going on others on WJ
were prepping a 95th Ries article after
one of our readers sent in some text and a
map for a scenario.

INTRODUCTION
Im a big fan of Flintloque. Im not sure
why, many of the gures that I own I nd I
can never bring myself to eld on a gaming
table because they are ugly, but I love the
idea of the game Fantasy Napoelonic
wargaming somehow appeals to me.

So I gured I would create a short scenario

that elded these chaps so that we could
run an alternative article alongside the
correct 95th article. I hope you enjoy it.

his only true friend was dead and along
with his men he vowed to rip the murdered
limb from limb. And Harpy is a big Orc, and
smelly as well, which means he could A)
easily kill the spy and rip him limb from limb
and B) can only ever attack downwind!

COSTA LOTTA
It was late morning when the Rieorcs
arrived at their objective and now Harpy
spoke, his broad Irish twang sending Tunge
and Arris off to scout the area, work out
where the French guards were located and
to nd La Roo. As both men were about
to leave Harpy grabbed them and spoke
slowly:

ORDERS OF BATTLE
It is a cautious deployment for the Orcs as
Harpy heads off to get as close as he can

without being seen and the others split into

two groups of two. Harpy ends up moving
around the board a fair bit and then ends
up in D6 near to the ruined church. This
gives him great cover and he can easily
see the coming and goings of the dastardly
Elves.
The rest of the ries split into A4 and A6
in two groups. Group A has Hagsmun and
Tunge in it along with 4 other Ries. Group
B has Arris, Purkinz and 4 other Ries. All
of the names characters are classed as
Elite/Veteran with the rest of the Ries
classed as Elite/Average.
So as forces go this isnt exactly a crowd,
more of a bunch! 11 Orcs against whatever
the Elves can throw at them.
ELVEN ARMY OF ARMORICA
DEPLOYMENT
The Elves are in three groups: the rst
bunch are in the farm complex and
comprises a Corporal (Elite/Experienced)
and 4 Privates (2 x Elite/Experienced and
2 x Elite/Average). The second bunch of
6 Elves on Foot (all Elite/Raw) will arrive
at B1/C1 on Turn 3 and the third bunch,
also Elite/Raw and numbering 6 gures
will arrive at D4/5 on Turn 5.

The farmhouse is of a solid stone

construction and very well kept. The family
that owned it before the Elven soldiers
came were particular in their upkeep of
the property. The walls that run around it
are of a sturdy construction and offer good
cover.
The Elves are in the building in C3 and
eating a meal. All buildings in C3 are single
storey and each has 1 sturdy door providing
access. The main farm building is in D3 and
this is locked La Roo hates the men using
it and has so far shot two Corporals for
disobeying his order about the farmhouse.
This building has an upstairs to it (1 sturdy
door) which La Roo uses for entertaining.
A small stable is attached and thats about
it for terrain features.
Mission Objectives:
Elves enter the table and get to the
farmhouse where La Roo will interrogate
the prisoner he has locked in the top of the
building.
Orcs Kill em all ladz! Its payback time
and basically the Elves need to lose a few
men.

THE TERRAIN
This is a 6 x 4 gaming area, although
you can easily scale it down by treating
each square as 8 x 8 instead of 12. The
trees are tightly packed and offer excellent
cover for the Ries. So use the Dense
Forest movement modiers found in the
Flintloque rule book.

La Roo will try to get to the farm building.

He will rst enter the farmhouse, collect a
key (1 full turn to do this) and he will then
move to the top of the house. He wants to
kill his prisoner if he feels that the Ries
may nd him.

ENDING THE GAME

It all ends with the demise of either side.
