Today we played typical Border Patrol (GW rules) with Alessandro and Krzysztof on 500 points. First game was played beetwen Alessandro Night Goblins vs Krzystof Ogres, second game was played beetwen my Empire and Krzysztof Ogres. I tried to make some scenario, so we agreed that the tower belonged to wizard who perished long time ago. Of course both sides want’s the tower – units 6′ from tower were Immune to Panic.
Ogres saw many walking meat. Krzysiek ogres are still work in progress, they look better and better. Night goblins moved up to the obstacle. Ogres moved. Suprise, night goblin fanatics released! Health path in front of Ogres. Ogres charged… and night goblins fled to the forest. One step back from those green madness. Night goblins rallied. But again were charged by Ogres. Sounds like a dinner. One of those funniest unit in WFB, along squigg hoppers and snotling pump wagon. Of course it’s also deadly, especially when hitting armoured knights. Gnoblars in the forest and ogres around tower. Failed charge of ogre gunner. Night Goblin took forest from gnoblar hands. Last gnoblars hiden beetwen night goblins. Second battle. Those Dwarfs were used as Empire Swordsmen. Ogres battle line. I saw ogre, do I? Next time I will take dwarfs as allies, not as proxy for swordsmen. Swordsmen fled as charge reaction. Ogres triumph. Hochland pistoliers managed to take down one of the shooters (he was on last wound, as they wounded themselfs moment before). Gnoblars charged Knights Panther on the flank and won by one point. Handgunners welcomed ogres with rain of bullets, but fled in panic after round of combat. Swordsmen managed to won over one ogre shooter. Knights Panthers rallied and charged back. Ogres looking for loot and food. Last charge – ogres on Knights Panthers. The end. I guess it was draw – magic tower still wait’s for someone who will open it.
Summary:
– games on small points can be really nice and fast as well.
– next time we will play on something more, like one thousand points. Maybe I will write some scenario, still it depends of how many of us will be interested.
Nice adaptation – I always grudgingly liked the eighth edition Watchtower scenario and it seems to work well here too.
We want to play campaigns as well as scenarios. Have some ideas about scenarios as I have few campaigns from 5th. There were at least several such objects with rules across different editions.
