My first Battle Report

I love reading the battle reports and I’ve always wanted to write one myself. The problem is my kids and I play a bit of a different version of Scape with 85% customs- so I figure no one would understand what I was talking about. (but I guess I should be used to that by now)

Our game is very large- we use a big wall map to keep track of point producing cities and wells, road and castle building, lakes, mountains, volcano and the progress of armies. We have a permanent basic hex setup on which we mount our battles. (doing this has reduced our setup build time to about ten minutes). Anyway enough setup! On to the battle!

My 12 year old son had a 190 point army in the unexplored area of the map, and he invaded a square containing a point producing well. Unclaimed wells have a “bandit army” determined by 20d X 10.
Sadly I, the appointed defender, only rolled a 9 so I got to pick a 90 point army to defend....
