First Kings of War game in quite a while, with Andy's Kingdoms of Men lining up against my Empire of Dust army, each at 1500 points. The scenario we were playing was 'Loot', determined on the roll of a die. We are still using KoW v2, having not yet bothered to update to the newest 3rd edition. Frankly, I fear the old rules creep that was so off-putting for various other rules systems that I have played over the years.
 |
| Andy held his centre with two heavy pike regiments, flanked by regiments of Foot guard |
 |
| Each flank saw a regiment of knights |
 |
| On my right I deployed a regiment of Mummies, and two Reanimated behemoths |
 |
| On my left, a regiment of Enslaved Guardians, and a regiment of spear |
 |
| My centre was held by a Spear horde, two spear regiments, and a regiment of warriors, supported by a Swarm horde |
 |
| The Empire left advances |
 |
| The Empire centre. The swarm used the Vanguard rule t advance into the woods, upper left |
 |
| The Empire right facing the knights |
 |
| The swarm advanced toa ttack a unit of foot guard, needing that first atack |
 |
| Andy supported the knights on his right with a unit of bow |
 |
| The knights crash in on the Empire right, but clip the bad going, resulting in ahindered charge |
 |
| A unit of Mummies advances out of the woods to attack the other unit of bow (upper left) |
 |
| The swarm and Foot Guard in combat |
 |
| The knights attacking my right are flanked by the two Reanimated behemoths, and are routed. The right hand loot counter is open to capture by the Empire |
 |
| Mummies bounce back from the bow |
 |
| Swarm, bounce back |
 |
| Foot Guard counter charge... |
 |
| And the swarm are routed |
 |
| The Mummies are atacked by the bow, and flanked by the hero |
 |
| The knights attacking the lft bounce back |
 |
| Meanwhile a unit of Andy's Foot Guard on the left of his centre routs a regiment of spear |
 |
| Things have heated up .. the spear horde (which had captured the loot counter in the centre) has ben eliminated, and the heavy pike block turns its attention tom the warrior regiment that had previously eliminated a Foot Guard regiment |
 |
| Mummies from the right flank attack the left hand pike regiment, having eliminated the other regiment of Foot Guard |
 |
| They are eliminated |
However it is the end of turn 6, and Andy controls two of the three loot counters, so a well fought victory fo the Kingdoms of Men.. but be assured.. we'll be back.. mwahahahahahahaha
Good stuff!
