Burrows and Badgers demo board: The Hamlet of Eksteren

Yes, we did it, our demo board for the 29th of september, during the TSA open door day Battling Through the Ages, has been finished.

Noshi and me put some serious hours in this board, in order to get it all finished for what will become our first "duo" demonstration game, and the scenario is a modified "Mouse-Hunt" one, with Gromley replaced by that infamous yellow rodent.

You know, attracting to kids and such...

The last thing we needed to do was settle on a name for the hamlet located on the board, and in the end I went for Eksteren.  This name came about two-fold.

In the first place, our club, and where the game will take place, is located in the Antwerp village of Ekeren, so that link is pretty obvious.  But I wanted it to have an animal refering name as well, so it became Ekster, a bird called a Magpie in english.  So that blended together gave the highly suitable name of Eksteren for the hamlet.

We also tried out the rules (I wrote a simplified playsheet with only the needed rules for this game) and then we gave the scenario a go, with the stats of Gromley all reduced one level due to the small sized warbands.

You can watch the testgame right here:

Well, off to the open day now, and let's hope this will be a success...
