Hello Folks,
Took my Ottomans down to the club today to face off against I think sweedish, and try out the new version of By Fire and Sword.
Long set up but we ended up playing the Raid scenario with me defending, recon wise we ended up with a few disruption each, I had a unit flanking, and the enemy had a pretty forward Vanguard unit.
The whole pregame system is pretty cool, but it's also complicated and takes awhile.
Here's the set up, I have my best units to the left going for a refused flank I guess. But pretty outnumbered. I got the initiative and immedatly charged the enemy's small Vanguard with my deli. But they got 2 hits in defensive fire, I failed both saves, with morale tests and retreated. My siphai did ok thou.
Artillery on the other flank pushing back my units and knocing out their order. My plan is to try the same on the left, but my forward unit has allot of disruption so need to be a bit lucky.
But I am not and start loosing units and get overwhelmed and forced back. Only the deli really fought in the end.
Pretty much all my units dead and the enemy burning the objectives
A fun loss. First game of the new Fire and Sword, I like it better for sure. The whole missions thing and different sized armies is great, it can be quite allot of soecial rules and to many tokens, but it is fun so that's the main thing. Units are fast and hit hard, it's a cav world for sure.
Bonus shot of some fantastic battles. Banshees getting the flank on some fools!
Thanks;
Mike
