HistoriCon 2021 "Day 3"

 

            Warmaster Revolution Tourney day. The tourneys are in the same spot they were last time we were at Valley Forge Casino. The tourneys are on the casino side downstairs. It is a huge open space with cement floors. So noisy and hard on the back by the end of the day.

            I took Lizardmen this year. And I screwed up before leaving. Originally I had selected 9 Saurus warriors.  I own 7. I have to find 150 points. That 150 got me a Kroxigor for 135 and I eat the 15 points.

Game 1  Take and Hold scenario

            I played Bryan. (I think he spells it with a "Y") Bryan took Demons. Wonderfully paint Black Gate miniature Demons. He had two large brigades of chariots and Cavalry set one the Flanks. In the center sat Infantry. I set up with my Cavalry left of center with a all Saraus brigade and Teradons to their right. On the flanks sat Kroxigors and Saraus brigades. The shinks hid in the woods all game.

            I opened with with double moves. Yeah passed every command roll. Right flank Kroxigors got into the woods just off the objective. The Left flank Kroxigors shifted towards the center. The center Saraus took a hill on the Left flank. Cold Ones to the center left. Teradons hanging out wait to pounce. 

            Bryan sent both Cavalry Brigades against the Kroxigors. His right flank pulled off an Alexander Cavalry maneuver to get in front of the Krox in the open. They failed to charge. His left flank Cav brigade continuosly bounced off the Krox anchored in the woods. 

            My left flank Krox charged his Cav brigade on initiative. The cold ones followed in on orders. 

Lizards for the win.

Game 2

        I can't remember my opponent's name. He had Orks. He won. Those little bastards have a spell that drives you back. My cold ones did zip. The Krox did their best dishing out wounds, but could make a save.

Game 3 Take and Hold

        Dave's Dwarfs. Another spectacular painted army! Well there are cannons. Lizards have no shooting. Wings of the jungle failed 3 times, including the reroll. Bye bye Teradons. The cannons ate my left flank completely. The Cold ones were on the left. They were running a Mango maneuver. They were there ready to roll Dave left flank in the flank. And and failed to order. Then failed wings of the jungle. Then got shot off the board. The Krox brigade in the center slammed home with the Saraus on flank and in support. 30 plus dice scored me 4 hits and 2 wounds. 

        Dave wipe the room clean with my sorry ass.
