Hurrah Praagengrad!

As the last Virostanian halberdiers fell with their bodies punctuated by handgun fire,
the victory belonged to the Praagengrad gunners.

Sweet scent of victory! It was a bloody battle with only two handgunners left alive to drag the beaten body of captain Grigorus back home, and to tell the important message: The Runefang has been found! Now starts the preparation of the second scenario, but here's a brief synopsis of the battle that took place in Helsinki Fantasiapelit today:

Here's the starting situation. My troops in the bottom left corner, the forces of Virostania up right. Six counters were distributed around the center, with about 10-12" between each. We decided to alter the rules, and to battle about the possession of all six counters to find the location of the hidden Runefang.

The main battle took place on the right side of the table. My foundry guard and hired cut-throats managed to capture three counters before Jami had a chance to react, but then I took a risk, and charged Grigorus alone against a group of halberdiers.


As both he and two groups of swordmen were driven away - Grigorus even managed to get overrun by the lowly Virostanian state troops! - I began to worry, but after few well-placed volleys of handgun fire, I had turned Jami's troops to flight.




The last acts were the battle between both side's handgunners, with only few fighters still limping around. Turned out that my gunners were better. (Or more numerous, perhaps. With only two gunners standing in the end, only I knew the location of the lost Runefang! Mwahhahha!


My handgunners deserve a rise, but those lowly criminal swordmen! A buch of good-for-nothings, I tell you.
