Battle Report - Warhammer Fantasy

 Hello All,

Time for another battle report. Today was the monthly Fandom meet up to play some Warhammer Fantasy, idea was to play 2200 points as there's a tournament next week with thay value.

I made a lizards list and decided to try out a Slann, ended up fighting Gnoblars!

Here's a pick after turn 1. Mostly both sides advancing, I used a spell to ger my salmanders into range to spit on the giant, but they both misfired and gibbeled uo most of the skink handlers!

Turn 2, cavalry charged easily running down a goblin unit. I tried to reach the scrap launch with a teradons charge but fell short, so the Slann used a spell to fly over and get them I to goblins instead. They lost and got run down. But my swarms killed a unit so there's that.

Gonoblar retribution was fast and brutal. The giant charged the blue skinks who failed terror and fled. Scrap launcher and a unit charged the stegadon broke him and over ran into some sarus, another group broke the orange skinks and overran into the Slann. All very not good!

My turn, cav punch through another unit, as fo the sarus with my sarus hero. But no more Slann starting to think I might be in trouble guys.

Gnoblars charge the stegadon who failed to rally chasing him off the board, and surround the sarus.

Sarus block charges, but the gnoblars somehow hold! Cavalry comes back on the board and uses their magic banner to charge crushing the gnoblar 'cavalry'. At least 1 unit is getting work done! Also the salamanders kill like a dozen gnoblars with their fire on 1 of the big units.

The sarus warriors are surrounded on all side, units on both flanks and hero in the rear. The gnoblars mostly wife their attacks, and all but the mighty gnoblar hero break. A massive comet called down by skink Priest kills another dozen of so of them.

But it's not enough, end of turn 6 most of my expensive units are dead, and I killed a bunch of cheap gnoblar units, the mathematics phase won't be kind.

A win for the Gnoblars this time!

Thanks;

Mike

Battle Report - Mechwarrior Random Mech Showdown

 Hello Folks, 

Easter special? Once again we are having a random mech battle! My draws were great getting:

Longbow 

Linebacker

Cataphract

The dreaded enemy not so hot with:

Pheonix Hawk

Howler

Crockett

Crockett is an assault mech, but really sucks. Some how he got named the Donald Trump Mech, and the pheonix hawk became Ruby Guilliani.

We also took 1 of the card skills that we randomly got. My line back had a +0 at long range and +4 at short, and Trump had a +1 while jumping instead of +3.

This caused mu mech to become democrats for some reason.

Oh ya also I painted a river yesterday so we'd have some new terrain.

Turn 1, mostly advancing, and some long shots. I thought to skip it put the howler insisted he might hit with his ppc but missed. This caused my cataphract (sleepy joe) to fire back with his ac rolling an 11 or something to hit him right in the center torso.

Turn 2 a bit more action as things come into range, the Trump mech peaking between building only to find he has mostly short range weapons.

Turn 3 time to fly, howler tried to use MASC to run fast but instead got x2 leg crits ended up in the open and shot down. Dued before he even got a joke name. Everyone else obviously poured fur into the Trump mech. I think this turn he got an engine hit, as a terrible mech also has not much heat syncs so that really hurt.

Next turn they are really teaming up on sleepy Joe. Get some good damage in. But my heavy mechs can take a few hits 

Got in behind doing some nice rear damage.

Trump thought he could play game and fly right behind me, but Turn out sleepy Joe's cataphract can fly 4! 

That was another pair of engine hits so Trump mech shut down.

Ruby goes crazy and only gets hits! But it's not enough really.

In desperation he tries for a death from above! He has to pass 1 roll for taking a ton of damage and losses a leg, then another to land the hit. But misses falls on his side and that's that.

So ends another very fun random mech battle using the salvage boxes (finally back in stock!). 

Will prob do another at some point as painting a few guys then random chaos is just good fun! Plus you can get garbage stuff you wouldn't probably choose hah.

Thanks;

Mike

Battle Report - By Fire and Sword

 Hello All,

Went down to the club today, so have the usual club report.

Played a skirmish game with Jeff, my Imperials vs the Swedish. Scenario was defend the village and the Sweedish are 2 points down.

Here's the set up, plus the buildings each have 2 stands of dragoons.

Advancing up, against marching Sweedish. Fire from the buildings disorders my dragoons.

Turn 2 big charges! On the left fire from the buildings kills a stand forcing a morale test which my lads promptly fail and head home. But on the right my much larger veteran armored unit easily crushes through.

Bad morale time continues, with the cav unit fleeing off and panicing a foot unit. Then we line up for the next charge.

Pushing through without much trouble, but smaller unit is suffering a bit from mounting casualties.

Try charging the building with my small unit, but pushed back by fire facing a morale test. Big unit beats another infantry unit thou.

Small unit fails to rally so gets smashed in the flank.

Last turn has the final cav clash, I win and burn the supplies, but can't take the village.

In the mathematics phase, we both had like 43% losses, so no points for that. I get 2 for burning the loot, Jeff gets 4 for holding the village, a win for them. 

Quite a fun game! 

As usual few shots of other games:

A pulp game, with very nice terrain:

Another Fire and Sword with tons of people and the new rules:

Thanks;

Mike
