Play testing with Drew

So my buddy Drew came over today and we threw down with some Strike Force Commander Period 1, and used our Fantasy minis instead of our Romans and Gauls.

Drew brought 5 Elf Cavalrymen with a mix of Bows and Spears. I brought the Judicial Champions, human foot knights.

Drew used the plastic High Elf Reaver models from the Island of Blood boxed set by Games Workshop.

I used my old Marauder range Reiksguard foot knights. Here's my starting roster. We started a Campaign and set the standard 500 Supply Point starting level. I used a Standard Force Organization and Drew used Elites. We both got the 25 SP bonus for naming our guys and coming up with a Theme.

We played two games. The first was a Recon Mission, and I was the Sentry player and Drew was the Intruder. The game went to the SitRep of Turn 5 when I voluntarily Routed. Drew had Wounded 3 of my models, Griff, Matthias the True, and Brunner. I took out only one of his riders.

He suffered no Injury in the After Action Report. Unfortunately, my boys weren't so lucky. Brunner got Recuperation and had to miss the next game. Matthias the True was renamed Matthias the Defiant, because he went 3 Turns engaged in melee combat against two of Drew's horsemen before going Wounded. He suffered an Internal Bleeding Injury. But poor Griff suffered a Cranial Fracture and in addition to having his CBT and CMD Ratings each reduced by one point, he also lost a Trait, which was Rapid Reload, and had to miss the next game. Brutal, but not fatal, which was the next result on the table had I rolled worse than I did!

Game two was a Retrieval Mission, and despite some stupid vengeance attempt on my part, I was able to pull out a victory. I accidentally played with Brunner, but he got charged and wounded and Drew got the Experience for taking him out, so it all balanced out.

All told the new Campaign rules worked out really well. After two battles, we both ended up with the same Reputation points of 638, and are ready to fight again.

Great games and good times!!!
