Post: Gort the Giant
I decided to replay Gort's opening scene where a merchant tried to double cross Gort after he fixes his wagon. When merchant refuses to pay for the repair to the wagon. Gort breaks the wagon. And the merchant, calls some ruffians to sort Gort out.
I used Middle Earth strategy battle games rules as they are easy to play and ideal for a quick skirmish. Gort has two wounds and two points of might. Armed with a two handed weapon. Against five ruffians.
Gort moves away to avoid being surrounded. And takes down two.
Gort (yellow dice) loses the combat against the three ruffians and has to use his two points of might to win the combat. Remember Gort has a -1 on his dice due his two handed weapon.
The last ruffian flees. Similar result to the film!

Post: Gort the Giant
The Heroes Begin to Muster
First of the heroes from Hawk the Slayer. Gort the giant played by Bernard Bresslaw. Probably best known for the Carry On movies. At six feet five inches, he was an imposing figure. His other important genre credit was as an ice warrior in Doctor Who.

Gort has few harsh words for the merchant.

But the remaining ruffians still manage to surround Gort.
