James, Matt and Martin came over for a game of Dragon Rampant. We decided that as it was December a snowy game was in order. Nottingham weather agreed and blanketed us in snow that briefly looked like it might jeopardise the game, but all was well in the end. We took 24 points each and paired up for a 2 v. 2 match up using the basic "fight" scenario. WE decide that a failed activation would only end for the player, not the side, so partners could continue with their activations.
I took my Night Gobboes - Squigs I took as Bellicose Foot. I also made them exploders before realising mid-game that Wild Charge made that redundant...
I had a wizardling with my light foot
Facing the Goblins was an alliance of Dwarfs and Samurai - a classic pairing
The Dwarf archers occupied one of the ruins
Martins' force,allied with my goblins, was all mounted.
Scouting Samurai occupied more ruins.
The cavalry wing proved reluctant to move at first.
So the gobboes pushed up
Toward the Samurai
The squigs ploughed deep in to the enemy lines
The Goblin archers seized the high ground
Martin sent the Gryph hounds in to action
The Squigs menaced the Samurai
Having feasted on Samurai the Gryph Hounds found Elite Dwarfs considerably less digestible
The gobboes rained death (well, a bit) down on the attackers.
Finally the Knights got moving.
Chaaaarge!!!
On the flank more knights decided to get in on the action
Despite a good start the Knights were soon on the back foot.
More goblins tried to get round the flank
The Human wizard tried to stem the tide
But although the heavy horse gained a measure of revenge it was too little too late and the Samurai/Dwarf alliance held the field.
Good fun game. Dragon Rampant is nice and light for this sort of simple bash.
