He took Nuada Silver Arm and a bunch of Tuatha Dé Danann. I took a force of Celts and heroic horses under the auspices of Epona.
The scenario (which took a little puzzling out) was from the Celts book. Epona and her crew had pinched the Dagda's pot and Nuada had set out to get it back.
The Celts gave the pot to their nobles to carry.
Nuada and the Tuatha Dé Danann were determined to get it back
Using Nuada's sneaky magics a unit of Tuatha Dé Danann appeared amongst the Celtic horde.
Nuada meanwhile set about chasing off Carpark Sumo Celt and his mates.
The púca decided to have a pop at the Tuatha
Epona sent her horses to help out
Meanwhile Cú Chulainn spent most of his time fluffing activation rolls and handing the turn over to the enemy.
When he did finally get involved the Tuatha knocked him down.
Back at the pot a giant was making a huge nuisance of himself.
Epona briefly got involved
Finally the combined might of Cú Chulainn, the púca and some Celts pushed some Tuatha away.
The pot fight wasn't going anywhere
Until Nuada got involved and proved himself a prayer fortified badass.
At which point he picked up the pot and pottered off. Pursued by horses to no avail.
A win for the bloke with the bionic arm.
What a great fun game. I don't think I've ever seen so many 1s and 2s rolled for activation, the turns kept switching back and forth, keeping both of us on our toes. At one point Nuada even rolled two 1s and handed it back to me. Not sure I've ever experienced a God turnover before.
I got distracted, first by some Tuatha Dé Danann suddenly popping up behind me and then by a dirty great giant rampaging around in front. Combine that with Cú Chulainn seemingly finding it impossible to roll anything above a 2 and I was always on the back foot.
It all looked lovely and was a hoot to play though.
