Saga Age of Magic - Battle Report

-
I got in a game of Saga Age of Magic down at the club today. Thomas brought his Great Kingdom army out again for a rematch. It was also good to see a couple of other people trying out the game.
Here is my initial deployment. We ended up with the spaced out deployment when your units can't be within 8 of each other. With 8 points of units, it gets quite crowded so you end up spread out and in two lines.


 In Turn 1, I moved up, my Catapult killed a knight and then I cast nightmares on the knights. Everyone else marched up


 Thomas moved his knights forward to attack my catapult, they took a fatigue from nightmares.
 Thomas's warriors attacked my Skeleton warriors, I beat him 2-1 so he fell back, Everyone else advanced

 The Knights charged the catapults, they took another fatigue for moving over uneven ground and then a third for moving again. The Combat was a nill all draw, my Catapult also ended up exhausted.
 Thomas's other unit of knights attacked my warriors and killed some off.
 My Knights attacked Thomas's exhausted knights and killed them off for no loss.
 My Warriors removed their fatigue then Necromancy replaced the losses, then they charged the knights. I killed 1 and bounced off. My creatures then did a follow up attack, they got a bad case of rubber fangs and bounced off exhausted.
 Thomas's knights killed off my creatures
 My Skellies did the shed fatigue, recover losses and charged the knights. The battle on my left flank has slowed down starved of Saga dice.
I managed to kill off a knight and bounced back. The my Black Knight had a go. He failed and bounced off
 My Hearthguard attacked Thomas's warriors I killed 6 for the loss of 3 knights.
 Thomas's warriors returned the favour, they flailed wildly but did not cause any casualties, lost two and withdrew.

Thomas's knights attacked my warriors
 One brave knight dies as did one skeleton. Thomas's warlord attacked my heathguard. They got wiped out but exhausted the warlord in return.

 A very tired knight is standing in front of my warriors

My Warriors rested and then attacked the Warlord, killing him. At this point we ended the game.
So loads of fun, I am still refining the list, I an not sure about the Black Knight.maybe I am not using him right. He isn't a big enough hitter to use as a counter puncher maybe he is a better defensive piece to exhaust attackers.

Stargrave 40k - "we just got our asses kicked man"

Alan and I went up to the Bring and Buy day at the Kapiti Club in Paraparaumu. We took our Stargrave game. In this case we had followed our leads to an abandoned factory. However when we got there we realised that the factory was far less abandoned than we had hoped. As we approached we could hear the sounds of chanting and the smell of old blood. It certainly didn't sound like Slaaneshi cultists. Here is an overview of the factory mounds of overgrown rubble and broken machinery. At locations around the factory were groups of red robed figures crouched over bits of equipment. They appeared to be trying to unlock the access to an underground silo. Here is the new Inquisition strike team. We have two new commandos and a doctor along with a former heretic that had been reprogrammed into an assault gladiator. The cultists if thats what they are react with the skill and precision normally reserved for military units. Inquisitor Rathbourne smote a cultist with a Grenade launcher with a b...

Kill Team - Genestealers above ground.

Image
I got in against Ben and his Star Striders, The Genestealers had made a lair in some old ruins. The Starstrider crew needed to cross this dangerous area so they could recover a valuable relic. Here are the Genestealers lying in wait for any that enter their territory. I placed once stealer in the open because I knew I could Salk it into cover and threaten the mid board. The Star Strider's motion trackers started going off, but they could not lock down the locations of the Genestealers while they were hiding in the ruins. The Genestealers are scuttling forwards. The Genestealers have flanked around their short side and seized control of the objective point between the Star Striders and their relic One the other side the board the Star Striders are advancing. One of the armsmen got close enough to get an accurate fix on one of the genestealers. This enabled their ship to get the coordinates and a beam strike lanced down out of the heavens. However the lightning reflexes of the Genest...

7TV Vlads Army - the climax - Battle at the Church

Image
 The Home Guard have raced back to their headquarters at the Church. (its the only place with a working phone). They have found the vicar and verger inside and have amassed a stock of supplies with which to make maguffins and other unique weapons of war. Just then a dark smokey cloud spreads over the graveyard and long dead hands start erupting from the ground. The Vampires have arrived, and this time they are led in person by Major Shreck. Can the Home Guard drive off the fiends of the night? Here is the church and its surrounding graveyard. (Seriously, who does that?) To the right is the church hall and at the bottom a couple of bomb-damaged houses. There is a war on. Here are the brave defenders taking their positions. The vicar briefly protested as his windows are broken to make firing ports. Alan won initiative for the first time in the campaign. Major Shrek raised the Iron Cross and the horde shambled forwards. Alan also got the effect that meant he could only move once per t...
