Naseby Woodland Skirmish January 2024 – Review and Results

‘Tis the season for woodland folly…

Well, little did we know when we wrote the review for our December 2019 Skirmish that it would be the last for FOUR years due to the Great Pestilence. Unbelievable!

But at last – we were back in the woods, and having fun. 

 It was an action packed day of skirmishing, at this time of year the winter gloom casts long shadows through the woods, but as the leaves are now fully down, little cover on offer so the arrows flew in large numbers and a turkey shoot for the archers! (Oi! Who are you calling a turkey?? – Editor)

We were also joined by a guest from Sheffield, the trip down from oop north had clearly messed with his centre of gravity, he spent most of the time on the floor and was christened Mr. Tumble!!

There was even time for a spot of winter campfire cooking…

KILLING SPREE (Most Kills in one game)

Phil D. –  7, during a Take and Hold game type. This was almost a flawless victory!!

SURVIVALIST (longest continuous number of games survived)
Howard M. : 4 games. We are not surprised. Howard is “Old Hard to Kill” 🙂

Thanks to all those that took part, it was a great day, and in our opinion this stuff is the most difficult and authentic 15th C combat in re-enactment. Any kind of score on any of the Key Performance Indicators is something to be proud of🙂

Onwards to the Banquet.
