Battle Reort - Batman Miniatures Game

Hello All,

Time for the first report of 2020!

Over the Christmas break we hit together for a gaming day, I was able to do 4 small armies and we had 4 people, so we played the Shifting Allegiances scenario that was done on an old blog, Crits Kill People.

Basically you roll dice every turn to determine turn order, if people tie the6 become temporary team mates.

Fir objectives we just did 1 each based on what I had. I listed them with the armies below.

Armies were:

Police - SWAT Team - Contraband
The riddler plus some pals - riddles
Bane with a couple of mercs - Osito
Batman, Robin, and Batgirl - Barrels

My army was Batman.

Here is the set up. Riddler top left, cops to right, bane bottom right, and batman left.

Not to much action turn 1, as its always night in Gotham. But Commissioner Gordon used a helicopter to spotlight the riddler and a SWAT guy blasted a henchman into the afterlife.

Batman goes up high to survey all the criminals.

Turn 2 most people head to objectives or generally the middle to start trouble. The riddler solved his own riddle, and declared himself very smart. Bane moved into the middle like a boss so batman floated down and started punching.

Next turn saw bane rolling poorly for initiative so Batman got the drop and knocked him out. Otherwise pretty much general mayhem.

Next turn Batgirl got in on the fun and beat up another bad guy, meanwhile the cops shot everyone and the Riddler used a sewer to move near the next riddle.

Unfortunately bane woke up and was not best pleased! All the big guys were out for bats it seems. But Robin was trying to score a barrel and Batgirl found someone else to beat up.

Towards the end of the game it's looking pretty close honestly and anyone could win if they beat up the right guy. The cops had a great plan to arrest bane! But were a bit to far away.

On the last turn we rolled for initiative, Bane, the Riddler, and the cops ended up allies! So it was Batman vs an angry city. With that being the case everyone ended up bat clawing up to the roof.

Since everyone was on the same turn fir the last round! No if the others could catch up to the riddler in points, so the men in green were the clear winners!

In the end we found the batman game to be pretty fun. The basic rules are pretty simple but with lots of choices. Only bad part is there are allot of special rules to remember.

Working on some new terrain now, hoping to get another few games in the short term.


Thanks;
Mike
