Pics from today’s 30 point warband game between the Men of the (Pacific North) West and my buddy Ron’s Orcabusiers. Orc’s won – despite both warband leaders being killed off. The „Flying“ rule is awesome! My earl was jumping all over the place!

We didn’t use any of the scenarios from the book – basically played a straight up fight to the death. The only „Fantastical“ rule used by the Men of the West warband was the Earl’s „Flying“ trait – which is really cool for jumping over obstacles – including Attacks.

The Orcabusier warband had two Elite Foot units with missiles, which made the Men of West wary of getting within their missile range.

Men of the Pacific NW archers bravely take on Orcabusier Elite Riders (I know what are they riding?!)

After the archers retreat, the Heroes charge into the Orcabusiers – taking them out after they failed their Courage test.

Lancers wisely staying out of enemy bow range – no they are not hiding!

Warband leader vs. warband leader (both Elite Riders) – round 1

The remnants of the Lancer unit advancing on the Orcabusiers – I kept forgetting I paid for Mounted Missiles.

Men of Pacific NW leader taking on some of the Orcabusier leader’s henchmen. See him hiding after retreating from his lost round of combat.

Lancers trying to finish off the Orcabusier leader – which they eventually did.

Man, that dude on the left looks so much like Karl Franz!

Men of the Pacific NW Heroes mounted on demigryphs take on Elite Foot Infantry (they must’ve been recruited by the Orcabusiers).

My buddy Ron made good use of the „Fearful“ trait to lower a couple of his units by 2 points, thereby increasing the total number of units in his warband. It makes sense since the Men of the West with only 4 units, went to half-strength a lot sooner – which affected Courage tests. Anyway, I’m thankful for Ron driving about 50 miles from Silverdale to my place in Puyallup in very rainy weather. A lot to reflect upon and possible redesign ideas for the warband. Thanks for dropping by and hope you enjoy the pics – it was a fun game.
