Summer of Plunder 2026 kicks off with me getting crushed against a lee shore by the Spanish and not even getting a moral victory by running away with the objective.

I just played, this evening, a game of #OakAndIron that was wild.
Wild of the sort that makes me want to grab passersby by the lapels and demand if they know about the action between Crijnssen and the French pirates off some unnamed caribbean island. About the men who died defending the Brielle and how Crijnssen, from his flagship the Nassau, retook the Brielle and took the pirate flagship's sinking hulk that had crashed into it, in the bargain. About how the scuppers ran red that day.
Played some #OakAndIron today and it was grand. The FLGS near my folks’ place has a great community and a lovely owner who’s a real fan of Fitelock’s games, especially O&I. I was French attacking pirates and eked out a silly victory.
My opponents were great fun and great sports. #minis are so fun.
The “Adventure” galley-frigate of Captain Kidd is painted up! Excited to play this on the table; it has a special rule for “improved sweeps” that is new to the game and should really change mobility.
The xebec is based and ready to play with! Of course, I have named it Le Requin.
It’s from Minairons, which I have just learned has sadly closed their doors. I’ll raise a glass to them and wish them well!
Been a while since I posted minis content. Here’s the 3D printed base for my xebec that I’m painting as water!
Today’s game was wild. Writeup coming later but here’s a preview.
Wrote up another #OakAndIron game, this one with @AugustAlso.
