Serfs up!

It ain't easy being an eastern European peasant.  Everyone wants what little you have.  And whichever player gets the most of that little wins!  (Except the Swedes, who win if they keep their powder magazine and fort intact.  And the peasants win if the Swedish overlords lose....but peasants never really win.)
A 6 player mash up of Cossacks raiding a peasant town that contains an occupying Swedish fort. 4 players (Nate,  Flynn, Dan, Howard) each had a 4 man clan of Cossack riders whose goal was acquisition of lot tokens.  John played the swedes who had an understaffed fort with random chances for cavalry patrols to return during the game and had to keep everyone else out of it, and for my sins of game design I played the peasants,  who only won if the Swedes lost their fort.

Dan brought a Swedish and Polish refreshment. 

The Swedish temporary fort.  2 units are in garrison while the rest are out on patrols.

"The peasants are getting restless!"

"Maybe we should close the gate?"

The peasants are lead by the local priest.  Just as they are rallying to attack the fort, the first Cossack raiders show up.

Flynn's Cossacks ride through the market.

2 units of peasants are headed for the fort with their ladders.

Nate's cossacks ride towards the church

What are their intentions?  The priest exhorts the peasants to defend the holy relics inside.

Howard's cossacks enter and loot the smithy.

Flynn's clan is followed by Swedish scouts.  They turn and give combat.

Dan's clan takes advantage of the distraction and races past towards the fort.

The exchange is bloody.  All the swedes are down and 1 of Flynn's riders plus his hero is badly wounded.

The battle in front of the church is a massacre.  The priest is martyred. 

"You MADE me do this!"  Cossack Nate proclaims his innocence. 

Howard is on his way out of town, heavy with loot,  when he runs into Swedish cavalry.  It goes badly for his hero.

His men leave him to his fate and run off with the booty.

The peasants, being the demoralized sort, spend most of the game milling around.

Nate's young Coassack falls victim to an unmarked cesspit.  Rather then haul him out, they ride off with their loot.

As usual I got caught up in the action and didn't photograph the end turns.
The peasants,  rallied by Dan, made an assault on the fort.
This went about as well as peasant assaults on forts go.  Two ladder assaults were repelled to only 1 swedish casualty,  and Dan's hero recieved a free Swedish musket ball through his cranium.  His remaining riders took off looking for easier pickings.

All in all everyone came out a winner except the peasants, who still peasant.
