Today we played with Marian bigger game on 2250 points per side. Marian played Reikland and I played Bretonnians from border area of Parravon and Quenneles. We are still learning again new things, as we still do mistakes.
Initial position of both armies. Empire in first turn did shooting, then Bretonnians started moving. Empire drtachments were everywhere. Look on left flank. Bretonnian turn two. All Grail Knights were wiped out by Empire artillery. Only Duc and damsel survived. I had some luck that I killed Empire battle standard bearer with Banner of Griffon. Then pursued swordsmen. Archers runned away from massive charge of Empire cavalry. Last moments of damsel. Archers left the field, joined by mounted squires. Knights Errants reduced to champion. Bretonnian duc after eliminating wizard lord was held by brave cannon crew. Then pursued by swordsmen. Need to magnetise all Bretonnia, as packing them that way is horrible.
Summary:
– It’s hard to counter magic, when your enemy have three wizards (lvl 4, lvl 2 and lvl 1) and you have one (lvl 2).
– first time from a long time I meet so many shooting, three cannons, two hellblaster volley guns.
– my best unit of Grail Knights was eliminated by enemy fire, even banner increasing ward save didn’t help them.
– Men at arms did nothing, at least the survived along bowmen.
– My army standard bearer – worked well as always, my Duc did not succed well.
– army list, maybe I will add it later here.
– at least we played good game – which finish was a Draw – Marian got 1472 points and I got 1542 points.
Looks like your opponent is a shameless powergamer, 3 cannons and 2 hellbalsters in <3k army is disgusting and he shouldn't be played against.
Hi Jack, no, he’s not powergamer, he usually play different style Empire. He wanted to check shooting Empire. He is one of my friends with whom I like to play most ;-).
