Cangames - Part 2 - Saga

 Hello Folks, 

Day 2 of Cangames I had set up a saga tournament, we ended up not getting many players but had some fun games anyway. Theme was Crusades + Chivalry. 

Game 1: Crusader Knights vs English Clash of Warbands

English arrayed for battle. I thought it best to start with the archers forward, and went for small units of archers and larger units of hearth. This is basically my way of playing teutonic knights, let the enemy get tired and shot up fighting archers, then the real boys clean up.

Small advance fire some arrows at the knights, not much effect as english archery is bad at long range, thou you can try it.

Knights advance cautiously raining corssbow bolts.

After more shooting from me, they attack hard. Bringing 2 units below threshold for generating saga dice.

The hearth get a good hit back thou. There are some great abilities for them.

Hard to have enough dice if the knights keep killing your men thou!

I can activate 2 units to shoot, but 1 of them has 1 guy, this is possibly not good.

Nevermind hah. Solid win for Perries knights.

 Game 2 - Knights vs Saracens in Clash 

Didn't follow this one as time for shopping. I decided buying the French Agincourt set was the way to go!

After a break for lunch, Korean BBQ, we got back at it.

 Game 3: Knights vs English in Capture

Not one to lean into failing plans, I did the opposite. Small units of hearth backed up by big units of archers. But Knights win.

Stakes and hearth to block, shoot em up at close ranges, much better. Also I am not passing 90% of my saves which is very helpful.

Knights get in my faces and kill a few hearth, and capture 2 objectives.

But with the Saint George ability my lads see them off.

They charge again but 1 hearth lives keeping my saga die!

Shooting becomes brutal and I control the board.

It turns out being lucky is better then being smart. So I am able to score a victory against our nemesis from the big city.

Game 4: Knights vs Saracens in Capture

Again never really kept track of this game, but after many deaths on both sides the Knights were again triumphant. It was allot close this time thou I think?

 Anyway I declared the knights to be the victors.

 

Thanks;

Mike
