Battle Report - ADLG Inca vs Rome

 Hello All,

Got to have another game of ADLG, Incans vs Roman's in the mountains. I skipped thecterrain set uo rules and just did it myself.

Here's the set up. 1 set of legion to go around the forest, 1 to hold the center, and dome cav to gi around a big hill.

Roman's advance up.

Incans follow suit trying to get into stick throwing range.

Think I missed a turn of movement, but now we have combat in the center. Roll very badly and take allot of hits.  Not great.

Legions on the left wasting time chasing light foot, in the middle gearing beat up, but the cav dodges the light foot and starts to get in there.

The fights grinding away, takes awhile to kill armored heavy foot. I'm doing some damage but not really going Roses way.

The light foot all runs away which is annoying. But given time can chase diwn and trap them.

Last turn, nit quite over but I'm my army is close to breaking, and the Incan horde is more like half. With it being super time decide to call it there. Victory of Inca.

Thanks;

Mike

Battle Report - Blood Red Skies

 Hello Folks,

Got together with Duncan and Stan over the weekend to play with some planes. I get 4 bf 110s, being attacked by 6 spitfires of Duncan, but Stan has 4 bf 109 reluctantly coming to the rescue!

Enjoying a nice light when spitfire attack.

Tipped back planes have advantage, level is normal you can only shoot people worse off then you. So guy by the clouds might have to rethink his choices.

Shoot down this guy.

Stan's planes arrive and the sky gets complicated.

Not sure how to report on this game, as there's stuff going on all over the place. The bits had an ace named Johnny that was being very annoying. 

Spread out a bit more now. The spitfire using sharp turns to try and get at the 109s.

The big planes get tail gunners, which turns out are goid at putting boom 💥 chips on people. Which is a morale thing your force leaves if you get to many.

Jonnie flying back after chasing my guy off the board. We tried to out manuver this chap but he gets a million agility dice.

One spitfire gets in a bad spot so the whole German airforce tries to shoot him down. Didn't quote mange that but we got allot of boom chips, so the bits decide to pack it in.

Pretty fun game simple but fun!

Thanks;

Battle Report - Club Saga

 Hello Folks,

Another club day done, this time around was Saga! Age if Magic for me, took my newly painted Macedonians so went fir great company, facing of the spooky scart skeletons.

The mission was:

Fog
Frontier region
Vanguard
Sacrifice
Under pressure

So basically but you can end the game early if you think your ahead, but your opponent gets 1 last turn to ruin your day.

Here we are after undead turn 1, just advancing up. Also I put my pikes on tray as I thought it would be annoying to move them individually. Anyways fir me its pikes in the center flanked by cav and elephants, with hearthguard out on the flank. My plan was to have the captain order the elephant but turns out he can't!

I advance up the pikes, with the warlord to inspire for some extra attacks against the undead.

Skeletons won one fight i got the other, but main thing kept my saga dice.

For my turn the elephant the hearthguard charge the skeletons on the flank. Frustratingly 1 lives!

The undead of course resurrected more immedatly. Then advancing after my fleeing pikes and bringing up the bone giant. Who smashes my hearths, but takes allot of fatigues.

My turn, sadly bad saga dice prevent me from getting the elephant I to things. But I try my cav and then pikes against the skeletons, not quit doing as much damage as needed. In an attempt to protect my pikes I moved up the captain as bait. The undead then mostly rested but did fight the captain I think.

I used the magic re-roll to get some dice t9 move my elephant, but the undead candle ot with fatigues! Curses. But my warlord and cav can finish 1 unit of skeletons.

Undead pressing forward, with the front skeletons back to full power.

Finally get to move elephant who promptly tramples the bone giant, and just barely survives! Meanwhile try to beat up more skeletons, bur 1 survives again! 

Undead kill more pikes costing me another saga dice not good.

I decided to try and kill the undead warlord who is on a few fatigues,  but can't quite manage it. Even throwing in my last hearth guards fir a lucky roll.

Ah well on to the mathematics phase, the undead are up by 2 or 3 points so it's a win for them! Very close and fun thou, 1 mire hit and I would have got the warlord!

Saga and Age of Magic is always a good time.

As usual a few shots of the other games:

Age of invasions, or age of slaughter?

 Age of Hannibal much more peaceful, for now...

Battle Report - Iran vs Soviets in Ye Yankee

 Hello Folks,

Time for some Yeam Yankee! Finally get to try out my Iranians in a game the Oil War is on!

We rolled for a mission and got Free for All, which I now rember is my least favorite mission.

I set up a desert and didn't go crazy on terrain as this has to turn back into an office tomorrow.

Here's the set up. Soviets being very cautious, I spread out to have some options and see whats fun. Choppers have to loiter off table sadly as it's a meeting engagement , so I guess choppers can't keep up??

I decided all the infantry on the left can just sit there, so attack left. Only blow up 1 t-55 so not great.

Russians just sit and shoot missiles. They kill 1 platoon and mess up my precious scorpions. Turn 2 for me the cobras arrive but can't shoot moving. The infantry get in there with the rpgs. Do much better killingctanis this time!

The russians decide to show me what a real horde of brt-60s is. The kill a couple more tanks and shoot up the infantry.

My turn cobras can finally shoot! I  able to get the lead tank platoon down to! Also kill the observer.

By now I'm down to like 4 tanks so decide to throw in the towel, no sense dragging g thing on.

But I killed 9 tanks only had 11, so I'm calling that not bad!

Thanks;

Mike

 

Battle Report - Wellingcon

 Hello Folks,

Yesterday got the chance to play a few good games of Art De La Guerre. Took my Roman's to fight various other armies. 

I did the same plan fir all 3 games, legions to the left, small not great cav to the right.

Time for zction game 1.

Cavalry fight on the flank.

My cav lost, camp got taken but managed to do some killing before then end so ot was at least a costly victory.

Game 2 same plan.

Similar cav battle, maybe actually worse.

Eventually get the legions to battle, but took to much on the flank so can't get much work done before ay gets demoralized.

Game 3, Finally a big old line of infantry for the legions to get stuck in against.

Glorious battle.

Still loose the cav battle on the flank, but the timing is much better. Lots of murdering for both sides. In the end I am just barely able to break them, while my army is just 1 point away from breaking! Close one.

Great games and very enjoyable day out.

Thanks;

Mike
