Battle Report - Epic Saga!

 Hello Folks,

Another club day done, this week was Napoleonics ans Saga Age if Hanibal. We had a couple of guys making a trim diwn from Montreal looking to play sone Saga so we organized a a big game for fun.

Ended with 5 of us so we set up 2 teams, greeks and 2 carthage armies 9n our side, vs 2 Roman and gauls. You loose when 2 of your warbands are demoralized which cam happen when you loose a unit.

Here's the set up, many Saga units ready to get into action!

First turn just 2 Saga dice per army so really the armies just roll up a bit.

After turn 2, now you can use 4 Saga dice, nit allot but enough fircsome murder! Some romans javelinmen moved uo and sadly killed my elephant 🐘. With some bad luck I failed the roll and demoralized.

Some fighting along the line, and the flank Carthage sent their hearthguard I to the woods to clean out a unit of levy bow that shot uo their elephant.

Turn 3, now full Saga dice is allowed of you still have units! At thus point we were always using a tenacity that helps you avoid becoming demoralized to try and stay in the game, but the gauls on the flank were able to finish a unit and kill a warlord! So sadly we broke. But decided to finish the turn for fun.

I was able to finish the roman levy and a unit of warriors which was enough to demoralize them. So at least we went diwn fighting.

Looking back I probably should have taken more pictures, but wasn't really expecting things to demoralize so easily. But we had lightly smaller them normal armies as well at 15 points total instead of 18.

In the end epic Saha was pretty fun. I think we all agreed it went well and is a good change up to try now and then. Main issue is that you have 5-6 players but only 1 activating at a time so it takes a bit between turns.

The mechanic for turn order is fun thou, basically you have tokens from 1-6 and you assign them to your opponents warbands they then go in nimrric order, so you get to pick the order your opponents go in, but not your own.

Anyways great to play some age if hanibsl, and big thanks to our friends from Montreal for making the trip down!

Thanks;

Mike
