Dragon Rampant Goes Hollywood!

Russia has taught us that "numbers have their own quality" does not' work.

But young Eason wanted to try a 24p all-undead 1p ravenous horde  unit army.  I'd brought "spares"  from our recent games so out come the bases!  We managed 22 + a 4p command group of belligerent foot.

I took the not-stargare Jaffas.  Any resemblance to any Hollywood film is, of course, purely coincidental.

We decided that we'd start off-table and this caused the undead a lot of logistical problems.  Most were outside command radius so their appearance was random to say the least.

I didn't suffer from that.  So I sent my doggies against the strongest concentration while I maneuvered for terrain.

Blam!  Unit gone for loss of 1.  If you haven't played the (excellent) undead rules I suggest you have a go before attempting this!

Bit game of thrones that.  But it killed some and disrupted the rest, so there was no hint of an orderly advance.  Now I was able to shoot and give battle on my terms.

 

Shooting usually reduces a unit by half.  If I was lucky the morale would finish them, if not they're on half dice.

Sometimes the undead can get a bit - crazy.

The Big Boss!

Eventually these will come on!  More units = better chance of initiative swap.

That was certainly different!  It "scratched an itch".


Next we tried the scenario Gory Bloodbath.  With everyone on the table and relatively close it got a bit - brutal!

Same reasoning - get into a good position!

Cohesion starts to break up.

Send in the beasts!
