Not sure if you saw it but I sort of summarized the kreighammer protocols I was using in this PDF here (its free): https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/352987/Freeform-Skirmish-Referee Michael Rastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06734236115196223000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881552271708679731.post-67232771089506057072021-04-23T07:56:17.040-07:002021-04-23T07:56:17.040-07:00I used the libreoffice draw tool to create the map...I used the libreoffice draw tool to create the map and run the game, so I have step by step captures of the battle (the main issue about this software is it can't manage transparent background of pictures, so units are all rectangular with a white background). I should give a try to Paint.net.<br /><br />It was a 15 points scenario: a pair of necromancers trespassed on the local graveyard guided by their pair of ghouls, and began to revive the residents. The gravedigger ran to alert the local empire soldiers (1 knight, 1 warpriest, 2 archers and 2 troopers) and was conscripted with a young peasant (hoping to become the squire of the knight) as militiamen. The necromancers have to leave the graveyard alive to win, the empire soldiers try to eliminate them (and the ghouls as a bonus).<br /><br />The battle started roughly for the undeads, as one necromancer was quickly dispatched by successive lucky shots, and the other was harmed too. <br />Then, a sneaky attack by a pair of ghouls created a turning point because it allowed the lasting necromancer to swarm the melee imperials with zombies and skeletons (bad luck for empire men here, especially for the warpriest who desperately tried to curse zombies, and was hit from behind by a ghoul).<br />At the end of the battle, the knight was overwhelmed as the gravedigger ran for his life, followed closely by the harmed necromancer, helped by one of his skeletal minions. <br /><br />So in short, mitigate victory for the vampire counts (by the way this faction name sounds always weird when there are actually no vampire present).<br /><br />Anyway, thanks again for sharing this nice game!Squidamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00036434062823216708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881552271708679731.post-45834234233102542392021-04-22T15:37:29.852-07:002021-04-22T15:37:29.852-07:00Very cool to hear!
