Today with Alessandro we played in 7th edition of WFB – it was a struggle beetwen loyal allies Empire and Kislev and horde of greenskins from east. We played on 2250 points. We played pitched battle, bloody one.
Knights Panthers with they grandmaster Heinrich Pobożny (the Pious). Long line of Kislev Ungol horse archers. Hochland handgunners, pistoliers and artillery. Kislevites performing as archers. Behind some brave Kislev Winged Hussars from Wrotizla stanitsa. Those big, ugly and you don’t want to meet them on the street during a night. Battle line ready for a clash. Trolls, boar boyz, giant – it looks like it will be interesting battle. Steam Tank advanced, along with fire from everything they managed to panic boar boyz. Left flank of greenskins horde advanced. Big and stupid – but they ask – do you have a problem, yyyyy? Giant thinking? Then I understood what Orcossandro want to do. Steam Tank took charge. Ehh, after one solution from Alessandro I play with Empire and Kislev more aggresive – still in some way as my first army – Bretonnia. Winged Lancers prayed to Ursin, Tor and Dazh – in the name of free world they charged. Empire and Kislev cavalry advanced bravely to wipe out mortal enemy. Kislev rangers retreat from nasty trolls. As one of the wizards was taken back, saved by Ranald (heroes do not die) handgunners shoot volley after volley. Winged Lancers after breaking enemy where charged on the flank – this hateful magic of greenskins made this against Gods of Old World panthenon. Knights Panthers in the name of elector count Boris Todbringer lowered the lances. Steam Tank sacrifeced for stopping giant for a vile – dont know what I did bad. Kislevites fought to death. Kislev Winged Lancers unit was destroyed as a unit. Fire at will said Hans Baurer – another round of bullets to the trolls. Brave Ungols did not give up. Knights Panthers lead by Heinrich charged trolls to send them back to Gork and Mork. Karl – please give me some gunpowder – please, not to much. Cannonball hat chariot whell and finished enemy. Vomiting wasn’t succesfull and trolls feeling enemy in clean suits left fighting – War Banner was above them – spliting on different models was mistake. For the glory of Middenheim! Guys, please prepare some nails and other stuff! Empire handgunenrs and Kislev archers shoot on giant – yes, there are no wizard – third one losed to miscast. Lone artillerist held wolf riders. This time we didn’t count points. It was a cruel battle for both sides.
Summary:
– first turn Alessandro losed his shaman for a miscast, then in following turns I losed both of my own wizards.
– Steam Tank took 8 wounds from Giant on turn 3 or 4, anyway, I tried to play offensive.
– I know that it was stupid to take banner into light cavalry, but I love model.
– generally both sides losed so much, we didn’t count, probably something beetwen Draw to Minor Victory.
– to be sure, if you live in Wrocław or want to come there, we can play with you in WFB – we play Italian-Polish games – but we want’s there everyone who wants to play!
Looked like a tough battle! 🙂 That steam tank could do with some better luck!
After last games I got suggestion to play with it more agressive, so I tried – at least it stopped a giant. It was bloody struggle. Four wizards has Miscasts – three of them died from it, one became crazy 🙂 .
