Scenario Strike. Take 2

Well it Tuesday again and we manage to have another game of epic and this time we tried out the Strike Scenario.

Britt and Me played the Death Korps of Krieg (NetEA Tournament Pack 2014) and Trent played the WORLD Eaters 3.8.

Also it our 50th game in 18 weeks…so some interesting stats

So about 400 hours to write and play the games or about 17 days.

3750 photos used in the reports..

Shit load of 1”s rolled….

The Armies: Players choose armies to an agreed point’s total, with 3000 points per side recommended for play.

The Battlefield: This battle is played on a 6 ft. x 4 ft. table divided into three sections as shown in the map below. Set up the terrain on the battlefield in a mutually agreed manner and it must contain at least three water pieces. Once the terrain is done, each player will place D3+ 1 VP markers on the board. No VP marker can be closer than 30 cm’s to another VP marker and no VP markers can be place in the deployment zones. Also VP markers can not be placed any closer than 20cm’s from the front line of the deployment zone of the player placing them.

Deployment: The army with the highest strategy rating deploys first and is call Force A and deploys its entire force in area marked on the map. Then Force B will deploy all his forces in the area marked on the map…

First Turn: Roll a D6 and add strategy rating to see who goes first.

Game Length: This mission lasts for four turns.

Battlefield Terrain: Mysterious Rivers, lakes and pools rules are to be used in this scenario.

Victory Conditions: The victory conditions of this mission are to take ground from the enemy. At the end of the game, the player who has scored the most Victory points has won the game. If the players have the same number of Victory points, the game ends in a draw. Victory points are scored the following way

1. Each player scores 1 Victory points for each formation within the enemy's deployment zone, at the end of the game. Broken formation doesn’t count.

2. Each player scores 1 Victory points for each VP marker they hold at the end of the game and broken formation doesn’t count.

Mission Special Rules

Fog of War: After deployment of forces, but before the strategy roll is done, each army can redeploy a single formation anywhere within their deployment zone. Roll off to see which player has the choice of redeploying first or second (Roll a D6 and add strategy rating).

Attrition: The army which has destroyed the highest number of enemy formations at the end of the game gains an additional Victory point (Broken formations don’t count).

Summary

Another good game, although it look like the World eaters were going to win by a mile, by the end of Turn Two.The DKoK manage to drag it back to a win….. The amount of armour saves that Trent passed was amazing. The Greater Brass Scorpion Engine pull off 50% of it inv saves, and only just die, after been hit by the death strike.
