Today, Lawrence brought down Sword Weirdos, a new variant of Space Weirdos, a PDF game which was written for Sci Fi.
We played with his lovely Fantasy figures today!
In a first trial game (no pics) my Halflings managed to beat a Dwarven force, my dice were VERY kind!
In this second game I changed to a human force, with a Hero, a Magic user, a couple of Ruffians and a pair of barbarians!
This was the table we fought on. The scenario was to end half a 'stick' from as many of the 3 Objective Markers as possible, with more figures than the enemy.
I chose the near side so sent my Hero, Magic User and the two Ruffians to the left.
Phil had advanced his Hero and another Dwarf forward, while his Crossbowdwarf went left to get the Objective Marker in the ruin there. My Magic user hit his Hero and left him 'down' and 'staggered', with a lucky Magic Missile!
I had sent my Barbarians to contest that ruin with the Dwarven Crossbow.
I failed to hit the 'Staggered' enemy Hero - but he failed to get his mojo back!
My first Barbarian dodged a Crossbow bolt, charged the Dwarf, but missed so badly the stuntie counter struck with his sword, killing my Barbarian!
My second Barbarian charged, but he was knocked down too!
At the hedge, my Ruffians tried to overwhelm the Dwarf axeman there.
My Barbarian was Down and Staggered - that damned Dwarf!
Phil now got his Hero up and running again, but it took 2 of his 3 actions.
The next turn he charged one of my Ruffians!
I had retreated my Barbarian after getting my 'Down' and 'Staggered' off, the Crossbowdwarf charged and missed upon which my Barbarian finally slew him!
The Dwarf Hero made short work of my Ruffian, so my other one had 3 Dwarves to face!
My Magic User shot an area effect spell which killed a Dwarf, Staggered another and sent the third flying!
He landed near the ruin, but also my Hero had been beaten off the hedge by a Dwarf then killed.
My last Ruffian managed to kill the Dwarf Hero at the same time!
At this point the game ended, I had my Barbarian on the Objective Marker in the ruin, and my Ruffian had the one in the field, so it was a technical victory for my lads! - but a very hard fought and close victory.
We are doing this again next week as Rhod is back, so we shall see how he likes it too!
