So I've had another excellent 3ed Game with my new Oldhammer recruits...2 games in a month! YAY!... This battle features a mostly Empire Army (1775ish points) against a Chaos force (1550ish points)
the Chaos Force consisted of:
Chaos General (20th level)
10 Chaos Marauders
20 Chaos Beastmen Warriors
14 Chaos Thug archers(skirmishing)
15 Chaos Dwarf Warriors
12 Chaos Dwarf Xbows
1 Chaos Dwarf Bazuka
1 Chaos Beastmaster 2 Warhounds
1 Troll
The Empire Force consisted of:
Empire General (20th level)
20 Halberdiers
15 Reiksguard
14 Empire Scouts
14 Empire Handgunners
14 Empire Archers
14 Halfling Archers
8 Knights Panther w/barded warhorses
15 Dwarf Warriors
1 3-man dwarf Cannon
The Scenario had the Empire Army trying to force a river crossing while the Chaos Forces defended the Bridge and Ford across the river...hence the slightly smaller force.
Im still awaiting some additional pictures from Tom...new recruit and photographer... but here are a couple of teasers from early in the action....obviously I need a proper River and bridge terrain...but its the thought that counts.
Hopefully more and better pictures to come.
Random Lessons learned from this battle:
-I need to be more organized with my game data as a GM...a day of prep work would be great!
-Chaos Marauders....while not as strong as warriors...are still serious bad asses!
-Trolls are hard to kill...even by a whole unit of elite Knights
-Arquebuses are a real advantage over bows against heavily armored and tough creatures like most of the chaos force.
-I don't have a good grasp on the use of skirmishers for this game...I think my units were too large...2 smaller units might be more flexible than one large.
-The Chaos Dwarf Bazuka can be truly terrifying if it doesn't blow itself up! it killed more than 20 troops during the course of the battle.
-Proper positioning of the cannon must anticipate the movement of ones own troops over several turns (it got masked early and want particularly effective in this game.
-My buddy Paul (the latest new recruit) has magic Dice hands! particularly with missile troops.
-Ever non-gamer that I've introduced this game to has really enjoyed the experience (so far) so if you can't find oldhammer players...make new ones!
-I have a TON of Painting to do!
-I have a TON of Terrain to make!
-I still love this game!
Cheers,
Blue
