[Mordheim] Campaign 2014-2015 (FINISHED)

[Meganiikko]

Good game.
A bit of a rush at the end, but i suppose that's natural with 5 players and only 3 hours to play.
I'm considering rerolling my warband: it's true that my warband managed to only knock down 3 guys during the game, and no kills (only 2 stuns, too!) but i suppose that if you belive slings
are cheap, annoying and/or OP i can stop using them.

Slings and elves are one of the reasons why you're supposed to actually have that "only 2/3 with ranged weapons" rule. :D

[Meganiikko]

Hey, i had 5 guys in warband of 15 without ranged weapons :D
Rest 10 had slings. Also out of those 5, 3 were giant rats, a.k.a cute and harmless nibbling kittens that no-one should try to attack. Spesifically with hulking nurge prince-thingy in heavy armor and riding a fully armored warhorse.

Also it was nice that when the objective mimic jumped to my end of the table everyone else's warbands were busy kicking eachother's teeth (or blighted guts) out and no-one payed attention to the mimic anymore. Well, exept heresybrush who very gallantly kept his end of the bargain...

[Varapalmus]

I don't see any reason for you to rebuild your ratty horde. The sling hell was real, but also hilarious. After all, you still pay for those slings in the form of cruddy leadership and inability to take hits.

[HeresyBrush]

+1 Varapalmus.

Savage battle! Four of my heroes were taken out of action :( (at least one of them got "frenzy" :D, the super zealot with WS2...)

Apologies about the scenerio, I have to confess that when I was writting the rules about jumping, I was thinking in centimeters. Of course, 18cm (max in 3d6) are not the same than 18 inches (45cm)! The idea was that Mimic jumps between Warbands. But at the end Mimic totally refuses the combat!

[Gilaelin]

I'd say that in multiplayer format (that we are playing) other three or four players are doing something totally wrong if 7 s3 bows or 12 slings are annihilating all the other warbands from the table. Rather not surprisingly elves have won just one game in this campaign - and that was the one game they were not camping in the third floor of some building and just shooting. Because really, in these scenarios you are not able to win by only wating and shooting. That is, if the treasure is not running straight to your arms. :D But I quess this was somewhat needless to say, as there has not been problem with ranges weapons in our group.

But that being said, I really regret I was not able to attend yesterday. Next monday is also booked, but I'm going to make a comeback after that.

[Salsa]

Well Skavens had bunch of bad luck against my Marksmen Hero which they couldn't beat up badly and Marksmen Henchmen who took alone the Butcher out of action in melee, with dagger!

[Sutenööri]

Next Mondays Scenario!

Glowing Wyrdstone!

Place on the table number of Wyrdstone equal to [number of players+1] + D3, divide the counters as equally between players as possible, if number is uneven roll a die to see who places extra counters. these counters must be placed 6" away from a players deployment zone, other counter or table edge.

Scenario special rules:
This scenario takes place at night so vision is reduced, before shooting or casting a spell each model has to check how far they can see. Roll a D6 and multiply it by the models Iniative, this is how far the model can see in Inches.
Glowing Wydstone! If a model is within 3" of a wyrdstone, or carrying one, the model can be seen as usual and cannot go to hiding. A model can carry a maximum of 1 Wyrdstone shard.

Ending the game: 6 turns.
Winning the game: The player with the most Wyrdstone counters at the end of the game is the winner.

+1 Exp for each model taken out of action by a hero
+1 Exp for surviving
+1 Exp winning leader
+1 Exp if carrying a piece of wyrdstone at the end of game (only heroes)

Comments? Pick up a shard, and you will be peppered with shots!

Which is exactly what might be the biggest boon of playing mostly multiplayer - especially if you guys have perfected the way turn orders work and all that. :) The best way to counter OPness is to make games multiplayer. More often than not.

Which is why, for example, Vampire the Eternal Struggle = <3.

[Meganiikko]

regarding the glow scenario: can a carrier go into "hiding" stance?

[Sutenööri]

regarding the glow scenario: can a carrier go into "hiding" stance?

I would rule it out as no, since the hefty glow would give up the dude trying to hide.

-Juha-

[Varapalmus]

While my gunmen will be sad that they can't see jack, they're going to be happy that at least they'll have targets with a big shiny 'kill me' marker on them.

[Meganiikko]

Can i send my kittens to carry the wyrdstone? :3

[Sutenööri]

Can i send my kittens to carry the wyrdstone? :3

Are they models?

-Juha-

PS: In before MAYBE IT'S MAYBELLINE

[Meganiikko]

kittens a.k.a the giant rats
Furball regiment 1 didnt really get any action in the last game: they just spent their game trying to get patted by the witch hunters, until they had to run away because some evil nurgle knight came to spitroast them.

[Salsa]

Marksmen Henchmen shot only two rats. He didn't have turns for four! :P

[Meganiikko]

They're dead to me >:C dem rats failed da VERMINLOORDS
I've already fed them to my pet rat ogre i keep in my basement.
oops should not have said that...

[Varapalmus]

Almost forgot! About the cover, here's the section, as it is in my rulebook. I really wonder what this is all about. Revised version? CUNNING FORGERY? I dunno, but I'm bringing the printed pages with me next monday.

Sometimes it will be obvious whether a target can be
seen; at other times it will be more difficult, as
buildings and other scenery are in the way. If the
shooter can see only part of the target’s body, the
target is in cover and the shooter suffers a -1 penalty
on his To Hit roll.

If a shot misses its target by 1, and that target claimed
the -1 modifier for cover, then the shot strikes the
cover instead. Normally this doesn’t matter, but in the
case where a model is concealed behind another
warrior, or when the cover is a powder keg, it might
be extremely important!

[Salsa]

"strikes the cover instead" might be crucial part in this. If another model is the cover then I understand it can hit to a that model. But rules doesn't answer what if there's multiple models providing cover, what then?

[Varapalmus]

I guess the closest one would, logically, be hit. Or the one who gives the most cover? Or random roll? I dunno. But, well, the wording is pretty clear. It hits the cover, and if someone else is the cover, then it hits that guy. Also, does the game have any blast weapons? I guess it could be important for those as well, if a wall gets hit and people get caught in the blast.
