The Secenario was a simple one using Knight Hack Third Edition. The Scots had to prevent an English relief force from bringing help to the English besiegers. The important thing wasfor the English King to get a wagon train through the Scottish army to the besiegers. In the way of the English was a fortified village and Scotish schiltons. The Scots had to stop the English. To my surprise the Scots managed to capture and destroy the siege bombard the English had set up. I had not thought of this solution but the players did. The Scots lost the battle to stop the train but managed to destroy the bombard making the relief force irrelavant.

In the three games played the Scots managed to take the bombard before it could be relieved. In the first game the defenders of the bombard decided to help the relieving force of English and abandon the bombard altogether. Ouch! In the other two games the fight to take the bombard was long and hard but in the end the bombard was taken.
