Battle Report - Saga Age of Magic

 Hello Folks,

Another club day had happened! Yesterday was Saga day with age of magic, and vikings. I took my lizardmen and used them as the Lords of the Wild. 

Ended up facing down Mr. Tod and his great company, using the variant that hates monsters but gets fanatics.

Dud the random mission as ots both fun and easy. I skipped the terrain roll thou and just set up what I had. Anyway we got:

Meeting Engagement

Regicide: games ends when a warlord dies or 6 turns

Fog: can't shoot or charge more then 6 first 3 turns

Subjugation: points for murder! And a bonus for not getting murdered.

Turn 1 for the humans, they are very limited on dice and the fog obscures the long range shots they would like to make. So just a bit defensive.

Lizards spread out and advance, bushing a few javelin out of the woods.

Humans advance up, but the fog is still a big issue. They are getting set up thou.

Lizards trundle forward, some of the skinks run forward to toss javelin at the handgunners, doing good damage a loosing the humans a dice. My cav flank way around the wood 

Human turn again, they fire some shots into my blue skinks, but aren't lucky and only kill a couple. The fanatics charge out into the hard shelled titan, they make a good show of it but end up a bit short and get cut up really bad. The fog stopped the cannon from shooting it whicha6 have been enough, lucky for me 

My turn for action. My cav on the flank move around and massacre the human wizard, but he annoyingly kills 2 of them! My teradyctls try taking put the cannon but he survives. Really lucky with javelin thou and get some good damage in there. I also charge in my warlord beating up yet another unit, but leaving him a bit vulnerable.

Time for vengeance, the hearthguard across the wood easily clean up my cav sadly, they are only goid at killing defenseless w8zards aparently! The human captain tries to finish my teradyctals but somehow fails and dies. Finally the human warlord charges I to my mighty lizard warlord, and manages to kill him off, and survive! 

With regicide thats the end of the game! Points wise I was up a fair bit si a Lizards win. I think attacking in the fog was quite advantageous for me as it blocked allot of dangerous long range fire. But great fun game all the same! Age of Magic is always a goid time.

As usual a few shots pf the other ganes:

Lots of people at the club yesterday, always geat to see!

Thanks;

Mike

Battle Report - kings of War Vanguard

 Hello Folks,

A few weeks back I managed to get together with Duncan to play and we decided to give Vanguard a try. That is Mantic Games skirmish game. Took me awhile to get this up because of laziness I guess.

I had the cards for the goblins, and used some models from dungeon saga supplemented with GW goblins, to face of against the nightmarish horrors.

Scenarios was capture the plans, the goal is simple - capture the plans to win.

Here's the set up. Plans are likely in the center, but can be in either house also.

Everything moves up, one mawbeast got to the plans, but couldn't check it yet.

Troll coming in to back up the dog.

The plans were the plans, but sadly I giant floating brain killed my dog. No worries thou a goblin was able to take over. Everything then moves up to cover.

Lots of fighting now. The troll tries to smash the brain, and is flanked by the dreaded banshee (resident evil type monster not ghosts type). Goblins fighting pumpkin mem all kinds of fun.

The brain gets smashed but the trolls having a tough time. Meanwhile in the melee the goblin with the plans has sneaked way off.

In the end lots of murder on both sides, but the horrors are never able to recover the plans. So a goblin victory!

Quite enjoyed this game, pretty simple, but with enough going on t9 make it fun. Bound to see more of this. I already picked up the goblin plane!

Also had a breif trip home and amazed to get a few games of age of sigmar. No report but just a few bonus shots.

Thanks;

Mike
