Testing our skill

Hello and welcome back to another post here on Schrödinger's paintbrush.

Today I'm going to touch on my recent game against my long time friend and opponent Trevor (who also runs quite the blog over on The TripleHelix Project.)

Trev and I went halves in the WoK kickstarter purchasing the Goritsi and Nasier respectively. And while we have played a few games we are still very much learning all the tricks and combos that WoK has so effectively brought into the game. The other night we decided to give the tournament time restrictions a go and see if we could play an intro size game in the 30min specified.

I chose to run an all swords list (ignore the two Pelagarth in the back, ashmen under construction) using Alyana Heska as my leader and the Blind Hakar for support.

This faced of against a combined force of wolves and vampires backed up by the monstrous blood engine and led by Korrad.

After picking motivations that relied on scoring kills it was a matter of lining up and bringing the pain. The faster Gortisi quickly took the central hill while the ashmen tried to line up several charges.

Alyana and most of the swordsmen attempted to curtail the blood engines rampage but were soon shown the error of their ways as it quite callously ate its way through them.

Meanwhile the Blind Hakar charges into the Zeti Dancers who merely vaulted away leaving the poor cripple to Korrads mercy. Leaving the morale scores at 5-0 in Trevor's favour.

The game was highly enjoyable and we learnt several important things. Firstly that we simply don't have the speed yet for competitive play as we ran 15 minutes over, secondly, after seeing the Blood Engine in use for the first time I learnt that feeding it infantry is a very bad idea in deed. Of course this just makes me more determined than ever to beat those puppies and claim a rare victory against a long time opponent.
