- Raids where the British attack the Saxons (because reasons :))
- More testing whether the British Shock Cavalry in the Dux Raiders Gwŷr y Gogledd force are overpowered against forces that don't have much in the way of ranged attacks.
Carl had (with some trepidation) the Saxons, I had the British.
| British forces advance to take a Saxon-held village. Standard raid scenario, just with the rôles reversed. |
| ...and here come the British Lord's companions... |
| Carl tries to shoot them, fails to do enough shock to stop them charging. Carl then tries to hit the cavalry first, falls 4" short even with a Bounding Move. The cavalry activate first next turn, with this fat fistful of Fate goodness - perhaps it's a little above average for a Fate hand, but it's not unreasonable... remember the Hero of the Age comes in the starter hand. |
That's a very painful 16 dice. Doubled for Shock Cavalry charging, doing double Shock after that.
We paused there, once we'd rolled for effect, and talked through a few things, ran the 'what if the Saxons had charged home' test'...
I'll document our thoughts in the next post.
