Warfare 2011 wrap up

So, overall the Germans did OK. Nothing spectacular, just OK. The choice of light horse didn't really add much to the army. They managed to get killed off in most games and didn't really add much to the game.

One thing I need to add is some rough terrain troops. The pike and shot can't do difficult terrain, which caused me some issues.

Ohh well, back to the drawing board and time to get ready for the next comp.





Warfare rnd 4

8-12 lose to Muslem Indians.

Managed to pull a draw out of the bag vs what started out as a bad matchup. My opponent had six elephants, lots of shooty cav and his flank march arrived.

Very frustrating game as my run of 1s continued for much of the game.

Curse the dice gods!



Warfare rnd 3

23-2 win to me vs Early Ottoman Turks.

Finally got a win! Played against my first ca shooty army in FoGR and pulled a win out of the bag.

It wasn't that I won in some ways, I just rolled less 1s than my opponent. Both of us had extremely bad dice. During two rounds of charging and evading, six out of eight evade/persuit rolls were 1s.......

I did manage to kill three generals in close combat.

Woot!

Warfare rnd 2

20-5 lose vs Swedes.

Note to self, never charge pike and shot into salvo foot, it won't end well. Made a few mistakes and my opponent, Andy, was there to take advantage of them.

Bugger!

Better luck next round.



Warfare rnd 1

9-11 vs Hungarian Translyvanian.

First game and a minor lose. Both of us tried to break thru but couldn't.

The first few rounds of movement. The Hungarians sent their cab and light horse down one flank



The Hungarian dragoons claim the hill
