Game 1.
Pan vs Dionysus. Well you see, we thought this was going
to be the long one-.
“Always
give a drunken centaur a Cunning Plan!”
A quick word on
figures. The satyrs, centaurs & cyclops are all from the
excellent Splintered Light ranges. I bought army packs and still had
a few left! I interchanged smaller cyclops & satyrs for ease.

My
expert prediction at the start. Dionysus again, a weaker
Legend force but a host of mortals that will cover a lot of ground,
looking to swamp any opponent.
Pan has the stronger
but slower Legends force and a similar mortals contingent.
This game is going
to cover a lot of ground and the initial setup will be critical.
The Game.
I had Pan and set up in
a V, my left flank protected/pinned by my archers. Tony set Dionysus
in a long line, denying his left flank, with one god as far from the
other as possible.
I got the drop and
moved forward, Tony's moving forward on reaction. On my right Pan,
Chiron and my centaurs was faced by the drunk centaur legend and the
satyr archers. I moved Chiron up away from the archers and towards
Tony's centaurs. Pan tried to transfix the legend and failed. I
managed to kill a satyr.
Mentioned in
dispatches, the Cyclops. Got close enough to lob a rock at Dionysus
and was ready to bash a few centaurs.
Now I don't know how
you play, but we take note of the unit and play it accordingly.
Tony's drunk centaur rolls first and got 3 passes (amazing-) He could
slam into my centaurs (the sensible, sober choice) or go nuts and
attack Pan. Which he did, with a +2 strike as he's dashing-. We're
expecting him to “hulk smash” bounce off. He rolls a 6. Pan
rolls a 1. One dead god. Game over. AND Dionysus goes to the top
of the leader board as he lost exactly 1 mortal worth 15points
An empty "slot" shows a death, red marker = drunk.
So onto Game 2!

My Prediction:
Ares as you would expect has a very strong Legends force backed by
a small, brute power mortals.
Artemis has a Legend
force to equal Ares. All eyes will be on the impact the cattle can
make. But the initial betting is on a strong head-to-head battle of
these two hotheads.
The Game
I had Ares, formed up
in a strong forward wedge. What else would Ares do?
First main bash, in
what was looking like a legends mash-up, Achilles vs the Hydra. I'd
expected this to be a push 'n shove match, but I quickly got the
upper hand and ol' rubber necks was gone.
Artemis's Hero did an
“end run” to get close to Ares, while mine plowed into Artemis's
archers.
I got shot, Artemis's bounced off and thought better of
it-. Seeing Achilles vs the Nemean
lion he decided this was the easier match and started for it. But
Achilles got pushed back & the lion failed to follow up, allowing
Achilles to follow Ares. The Myrmidons plowed into the archers
who put up a very good defense. Artemis tried twice to shoot a
Myrmidon, but missed!
Now the cattle are
starting to move, threatening to swamp Ares force. Hippolyte, at a
loose end has a bash at them, but bounces off. Ares and Achilles
head for Artemis before they can be swamped. Rash Ares does not
wait. A snap shot from Artemis misses (!) Clash! Mighty Ares is
down.
Artemis lost 1 legend
(Hydra) and 3 archers, which puts her no.2 on the leader board. You
tell 'er, I'm not!
