The scenario rolled was that each side had to have more forces across the field into the other players side at the end of 6 turns. The centre was conviently defined by the table crack.
The Legions into the fray against the hairy hordes.
Some of the Briton leaders held up a Legion. Some heroes in fact had stats that equated to a Legion in health & breakpoints. The red dice is a hit marker. For each pip of damage, that is added to break test rolls. Needless to say once units really started wracking up pip's, they were soon gone.
On the right flank, the Chariots managed to sweep out the defending Romans & then collided with the last defence on that side, our unit of Archers.
The centre near games end. Bouda-khan is ramming into the flank of a very much depleted Legion at the bottom of the image.
The game ended in a draw as there was a mere 10% difference between the point scores.
A fun night at the club & it afforded Dave another opportunity to haul out his Historicals.
Looks like good fun. Does the rules set play well?
ReplyDeleteYes Herbert, once we grasped the concept that the game was more about breaking a unit than slaying to the last man. Once your unit begins taking too many damage pips (which are added to a 2d6 dice roll to determine a total. If the total exceeds your breakpoint, your removed. Funny thing is, you could have a breakpoint of 20, have 16 hits on you & then the dice come up a total of 3, leaving you still intact. Good fun all around. We likely played a basic game, each side had a few heroes & generals.

ReplyDeleteExcellent fun.
ReplyDeleteAye Michael, it was, always good to see Dave bring out his Historical's. Kings of War Historical was certainly easier to grasp than some other systems.
DeleteThe miniatures look amazing Terry, haven't played KoW yet but it might be a good alternative to Hail Caesar
ReplyDeleteThanks Gobbo, all those miniatures were owned & painted by Dave. Yes a good alternative, although Sword & Spear is another interesting system we've dabbled with as well.
