OGAM Round 1 Last Battle Dionysus vs Poseidon

Computers, got to love 'em.  MY SOP, I do the bulk of the article you see below then copy to make playsheets then paste here ready for pictures.

So me poor 10 year old computer goes "Wheeeee!" a lot as I'm trying to print.  Joy.

As a result I humped me stuff to Entoyment, thinking that I had enough to do all the forces required.  I'd also ordered a suitable Triton heroclix figure from "a UK buyer".  A no-show.

The day before I finally get the damn thing to print.  Get there, and guess wot?  I'm a few missing.  Damn!

Still- talk about a mix-match battle!  Not a mix up we'd considered in the normal run.

The Game.  Tony took Poseidon.  We sort of assumed the first act would be to make a "wet edge" as this allows the Kraken to Krack-on.  As it did.  Now you can see why I shoved everything away from the water.

As usual, he heads for my poor mortals.

2 can play at this game.

Look out, he's BEHIND you!

One gone, so he doesn't pursue.

Go Centaur!

The battle epic!

Pegasus flies in to save the Seapeople.  Seapersons?

And they take each other out.

You picking on me?

I make a line.

Here he comes-.

But I marshal my forces.

Aw - crap.  1 action, 1 reaction for Poseidon and turnover.

He defiles my centaur archers but doesn't destroy them.

In he goes, Dionysus is pushed back, hit by Balleraphon.

Now this is - serious.

Daaaamn!

Mine go back, but no losses.

And Dionysus is back.  Should I have rerolled for sobriety?

Big boy freebie is going down!

Triton hits the ladies.

Hah, you're in the wrong place-.

Strength in numbers as Poseidon barrels down.

Oh come ON!  4 fails!

Ouch. C4 as pissed, rolled a 1.

Come on if you think you're 'ard enuff!

See YOU Jimmy!  Yer Wet!

Not much effect. 

And 'ee's back.

Once again with the in dashing.

Tactical - sneak past then in with the centaurs!

That should be a 2 - rolled 6, C4 as pissed, +1 and Mounted vs foot.

Oh rats - nearly there!

Well it was a LOT closer game than we expected!
