Hello all,
Xmas game with JChaos, but with a very special surpise as Brutalrage and his wife came to play with us a four players game!
We played the "looting the dead" scenario made by Jchaos:
http://www.forum.specialist-arms.com/index.php?topic=4086.15A greedy bretonnian Baron hires a Dogs of War army and heads to the khemri deserts to rob and steal treasures belonging to their rightful owners: the Tomb kings. Obviously, the peaceful undead are not very happy with the idea and fight back.
When an invanding infantry unit touches the small buildings, the pyramid or the temple a 1D6 is rolled in this table:
1 - Nothing... just an illusion of gold shine
2- Gold and precious stuff of Nekarka civilization +25 victory points
3- Magical object. Generate Randomize object from the book and give it to the unit who has reached the Treasure.
4- Hidden traps, the treasure is guarded by traps, like needles, serpents, big rolling balls as Indy Jones, etc... resolve the traps as 3 shots over the unit no armour saves are allowed.
5 - No treasure but a lot of animated bones. A unit of skelletons arise just as the raise dead spell
6- Nothing but generates another Treasure point randomize in the table.
JChaos fielded an army enterely based on pikemen and I took Brets.
Unfortunately we took few pictures and we couldn't finish the battle because of lack of time so I can not do a full report in pics.
Some bowmen managed to get a magic sword... just before being crushed by undead chariots, and the mercenary looted a tomb, without finding nothing.
The battle was very fun, and it was great to meet in person Mr and Mrs Brutalrage and their undead hordes. I was lucky the battle ended before Mrs Brutalrage could finish kicking my knights' asses.
