Yesterday I had a chance to play another game of Saga with Duncan. We went for an Aeitus and Arthur game, I wanted to try the scenarios in the new rules. I thought they would work much better which turned out to be true.
I took my Romand again, plan was to have a Roman civil war, but Dumcans were not blues to big trays so it was against the Britons instead!
We played the Camp Fire Scenario. Where both forces are having a drink and things go bad.
I italicize deployment. Thus has units setting up all over so you try and surround units if you want. I put some archers in the tower and kind of firmed a line. It's a pain to reach to far across!
The Britons went first and spent the turn resting and setting up defences.
I decided to try and kill some cavalry do I moved some infantry and through some plumbate, then charged them. Managed to kill all 5 only losing 1 guy.
Next turn the Britins found out how strong their warlord can be and just murdered my guy.
I am fumbling a bit, but decided to try and put some pressure on the levy, best up some one easy!
But the Britins warlord went on another murder spree. Mauling my infantry. I couldn't even kill 1 of the companions!
I decided to strike back and get rid of the pesky priest. W
He was just expose so I could get my guys in there. Just barely managed to kill him!
The Britibs are not about to let that stand so kill my units in return.
I tried to get some more kills but was real short on dice. I moved up and threw plumbate killing 1 guy and shotcsone archers.
In the end we had a solid tie. I think it was 15 to 14 or something like that. Was a great game, I like thus period and the scenarios work much better with the new rules. I think they were made with that in mind.
Thanks;

This was a really fun game.
ReplyDeleteI just wish I had not ordered some late Romans before I realized how much I like the Britons! I can certainly see a King Arthur themed army some time in the future.
Hopefully the book of battles will arrive soon
