DS' Battle Reports ~ New 2/9/19!
Index:
I finally sat down to document some of the 'Scaper family battles. This is our most recent, played on Ch1can0's outstanding Death Valley map, as he modified it for 2 masters & 1 Rttff. We drafted KidScaper 600 pts, me 400. KidScaper: Mimring Charos (love the dragons!) Khosumet Werewolves Armoc Vipers DaddyScaper: (themed army, this time Utgar non-Marros) Krug Dumutef Guard Minions Brunak Here's the map. This terrific map has four hidden glyphs. My minions went for the two closer to me, his vipers went for the two closest to him. We each grabbed two - I got +1 attack and +2 move, he got +8 initiative (his favorite) and +1 defense. Meanwhile a classic, well documented matchup set up in the middle: My minions didn’t even have order markers on them, and the Dumutef guard was headed up the mountain. It was Krug and Charos, slugging it out. His werewolves emerged and crept up the mountain to flank my position. At the top they encountered the Dumutef Guard, who managed to hold onto one road hex, reach out and crush one werewolf skull. Unfortunately KidScaper is getting wise to tactics, and maneuvered the two remaining werewolves so one had height advantage. The Dumutef Guard was no match once the wolves rolled for their Unleashed Fury attack. 15? 16? It was high enough. After the Dumutef Guard went down, I assumed the two surviving wolves were headed to take the attack glyph from my minion. But no, they raced down the mountain to aid Charos, who was slowly losing the battle to Krug, the way you lose to Krug. When you lose, you win. Unless you are a dice god: NOOOOOO!!!! Krug, killed by a werewolf!! Charos survives with 4 life. Brunak has entered the fray slowly, as has Mimring. They meet on KidScaper’s side of the field, where Brunak has come to challenge two Armoc Vipers for the Initiative glyph. Mimring reaches Brunak (barely) with the fireline attack, doing one damage. But Brunak charges, engaging both vipers, and Mimring approaches to engage Brunak in turn. Two vipers and Mimring, against my Brunak. I win initiative, overcoming the glyph deficit. Blood Fury special attack, here I come. Two dead vipers and (bonus!) four wound markers on Mimring. Whackity whack! Brunak finished off Mimring next turn and put a damage counter on Khosumet, before Khosumet finished him off. Charos meanwhile chewed up and spat out two minions, leaving me one Minion against a 4 life Charos and Khosumet. If I had a MVP in my losing effort, it was Brunak, who was a **beast**. The Minion and Charos battled for the high ground, ultimately meeting at a clifftop rondezvous. Khosumet showed up to grab the glyph and attack from below, but I had the dice working with me now. Ahhh, the drama. But a minion, even a lucky one, is no match for a Charos with four life left. Oh well. I will live to fight another day. If there’s interest I will try to post some of our other battles we’ve photographed. Last edited by Dad_Scaper; February 19th, 2019 at 12:38 PM. |
