Club Night 12/27/22

Club Night 12/27/22
First run at Xenos Rampant
All our battles will be set in the Hammer’s Slammer’s universe
(I have to say that I like the “Rampant” system but I had questions about all the special rules)
This is just a basic fight to get to know the rules
4 players with each player handing 24 points of troops

Side 1 ELF(Earth Liberation Front; these are the real crazy’s of all my forces.  They believe that earth is being controlled by aliens.  For them it is shoot first and don’t ask any questions.

(All infantry are double size)
4 units of Berserk Infantry with Demolitions and High-Powered Blades
2 unit of Light Infantry with Armor-Piercing and Heavy Weapon
1 Fighting Vehicle; wheeled
1 Fighting Vehicle; Flying

Side 2 Hells Hussars(a cavalry unit with wheeled vehicles)

2 units Light Infantry(Bazooka)
2 units Light Infantry(Heavy Weapon)
2 unit Elite Infantry
2 Fighting Vehicles

ELF moved quickly to the center of board.  Each force covering one half of the board.

Hells Hussars moved slower and focused all their force on one half the board hoping that one Elf force could not rescue the other.  This worked allowing Hells Hussars to use all their force on one group of Elf’s.

The Elf Helicopter attacked first but because it was unsupported it quickly was knocked out of the air.  2 Elf Berserker units closed in on a Hells Hussars vehicle and got shot up but were able to keep moving.  Once close enough they wild charged.  At this point the Elf player forgot they had Demolitions and did no damage to the vehicle but the Hells Hussars player remembered he had High-Powered Blades.  This reduced the Berserker armor to 1 but he only killed two Berserker troopers.

It is at this point the Hells Hussars opened up with everything they had and did so much damage the Elf player failed moral and both units broke

The other Elf player brought up his Fighting Vehicle and did some hits but also took hits and failed morale and never recovered.

This is how the night when with moral failure after failure for the Elf forces

A good night and the game turned out better then I expected.  We all like the rules.

If you are interested in learning more about wargaming with "Lego Style" figures go here https://www.facebook.com/groups/1559387751334001 Lowell Lufkin and Paul Fain A big battle using "Hail, Pike & Powder" rules. What I call Carthaginians vs Serbians Carthaginians are a mix of late bronze age and classic Ancients. Greeks, Philistines, Auxilia, Light Chariots and elephants Serbians are late medieval It is a close game with us ending the night with the game very much in the balance. The Serbians have lost a cataphrat Lancer unit and 2 crossbow units. The Carthaginians have lost an elephant and an Auxilia. On the Carthaginian right their ram cavalry have a break through but that also puts the Serbian heavy knights in a good place to intercept them. The Serbian right is a mess. The Carthaginians have driven the Serbians back but reinforcements are now on the line and the Carthaginian elepha...

 What to do with MechWarrior Darkage troops when you get tired of playing the game.  My solution was to mash up Ogre and Mechs to make OgreMech.  This is what I can up with and have played it over the last few years at club game.
