Hello Folks,
Tine to try out the new Saga book. It's meant to work well with Crusades so we did that. I took the English, and Duncan took the Saracens, mission was Capture.
Don't have a full army painted yet but I just used some old brettonians models to fill in. Saracens went all mounted hearth guard, sone bows some spears. I have warriors w8th bows and hearthstone to fight.
Saracens first turn they do a bit of moving up and shooting and moving back, killing a couple of guys.
I advance up using an ability that move close formations of units efficiently, and did some shooting. Pretty lucky thus turn killing 4 hearts in total.
Saracens turn, they charge shattering my mid front unit giving out allot of fatigues, maybe that keeping them close thing is a trap. Almost loose a second unit to boot, but down 2 saga dice is not great.
I try to shoot back and set up my stakes, but it's not great. Warrior shooting once you start taking casualties is not great in my opinion. But I'm hoping the stakes protect my guys a bit.
Saracens capture 2 objectives, ignore my stakes and run down my warlord. Didn't think they would do that!
Able to get a good hit back with my hearths, but I'm not taking away their dice which is a problem. I am at least able to get 1 objective.
Saracens cleaning house.
Absolutely need another objective now to not loose, but tough with 2 saga dice. I try to advance my hearths, but it gets canceled with 2 fatigues. Can't win on the last dice so I toss them into the warlord but no luck.
In the end the bad guys were up by 18 points which is a medium victory according to the tournament book we were testing out.
Fun game thou, but I don't like basing an army around warrior shooting. But have to try more games, there's other boards as well obviously!
Thanks;
Mike
