AVBCW: On the brink of the hills
14/08/2013
Following on from the last posting here’s the third battle report.
JP’s take on the day is here
Third battle
JP and I moved the scenery around again for the third battle.
The Blackshorts advanced up the road and the MHC reaching their vantage points on the hills – that JP has insisted on stringing out across the middle of the board – shot them up and reduced them from 5 to 2 in short order before the Blackshortsw picked off Sergeant Great and Private Wells.
The MHC used the cover and concealment of the trees to blunt the BUF attack.
However JP had chosen the Sniper Trait for one of his knobbly kneed inions and his commander was on hand to ensure the forces of the BUF didn’t run away. As both forces were now on rout tests but with high Command ratings, and nether force was willing to cross open ground we had a stalemate. As gentlemen, we agreed to end the game as a draw.
We’d had a fun three games !
I was going t include a brief commentary on the Brink of Battle rules, but s got too long so, next post…
