Attack the Baggage Train!
Situation: Both sides have baggage trains with them.
Hundreds of wagons, whores, horses, wives, cows, cooks,
campfires, slaves, and supplies are protected by the few,
the inept, the unwilling, and the injured. You have broken
through the lines to attack the enemy’s camp - to gain
loot, and maybe to rout enemies who see their supplies
stolen. (Total modifiers: +2)
Round 1: As you rush to the camp, its least cowardly
defenders charge screaming toward you, creating an
instant melee (no Battle rolls). Each player rolls ld3 times
on the chart in the sidebar to find his foes.
Round 2: Melee. On the round after you defeat all your
foes, you enter the camp. During each round in camp,
you can take one action: murder for the fun of it (Cruel
check), rape (Lustful check), loot (Selfish check: gain ld6f
in goods), kill churchmen (Worldly check), leave early for
fear of reinforcements (Cowardly check), get roaring
drunk (Indulgent check), burn tents (Vengeful), and so on.
Rounds 3-4: As above.

“Wounded” foes have already suffered 2d6 damage without
armor. Lords, knights, and men-at-arms arrive mounted
and charging if they pass [Horsemanship minus damage].
Round 5: [Awareness: Success = a column of enemy
knights will reach the camp by Round 7: Failure = you
are too busy to notice this]. If you see the knights, you
can try to find and alert your friends [Orate: Critical =
2d6 friends believe your warning, treating you as their
leader: Success = gain ld6 followers: Failure = you are
ignored: Fumble = you found another ld3 camp defenders,
who attack you]. Otherwise as Round 2.
Round 6: As above. Men alerted last round can flee
through the enemy’s rear area: they cannot rejoin the battle
that day.
Round 7+: The knights arrive, and a proper skirmish
begins. Roll Battle (-5 if you aren’t alert yet, +2 for better
ground if you are, +/- quality difference between your
men and average knights). Odds start at 1-1 and increase
one level per round, up to 3-1 against you. Knightly foes
are a mix of skill levels (ld6: 1-2 = Young, 3 = Ordinary,
4 = Old, 5 = Notable, 6 = Famous). Persons carrying
captives or loot suffer -1 to all attacks per Librum of value
or -10 if carrying a body. On the round after a character
defeats all knights opposing him, he can return to his own
lines or aid his comrades.
Aftermath: Gain 10 Glory per round spent looting. Roll
Follower’s Fate, modified by the odds when you escaped
(i.e. -3 for 3-2 odds if in Round 8). Downed and wounded
looters will not be spared!
