The Bridge

[Apollyon]

Rejoice! i have fought my first proper Brikwars battle with a real life person. Took a bunch of pics, too:



Assembling the forces.



After some ad hoc statting and building we decided on a simple scenario: we would fight over control of a bridge.



I draw first blood.



My sorceress (heroine) tried to magically freeze the creek but failed and got slain in close combat.



My cavalry dished some serious damage supported by claymore men.



Charge!



My friend's wizard tried a spell resulting in an epic fail.



Just trying some photographing tricks here.



I was quite successful destroying the left flank.



Overwatch after the last turn. The amount of bloodshed was adequate.



The surviving crownies fled the field.



And left me as conqueror of the bridge. I had a blast playing this.

Great!
But the reason for retreating was probably time, hm? Those lions could have won.

I was thinking the same thing. But, just look at how mean that guy on the left looks! Your medieval forces look great.

Looked like a good old fashioned fantasy battle, nice forces

Great game, thanks for sharing

We made up a house rule concerning the control of the bridge and it made me the winner of the battle at that point.
Of course we could have played on until the last man standing but that would have taken ages.

Elegant-yet-simple battlefield, great looking forces, nice photograph, I believe this battle report deserves a win!

Indeed, it feels fantastic! Better than forum battles in many ways with the main point being that forum battles tend to drag on for days, weeks, even months! In a REAL battle you have a few hours of raw unrestrained fun, then you pack up and move on with your life.

Edit:

nice photograph

I have read this before but i hate my photos! Ok, at least they are not blurry most of the time but yuck! They are way too dark for starters.

Good graphics software is the novice photographer's best friend.
