AD1666 Act I. Scenario I

 We turned the page after last Friday's fight  to discover so far it had been prologue to the story.  Luckily the first scenario is a party, I mean what could go wrong?

 So the first three episodes (games)  were a prologue!  The fourth scenario is called Act I Scene I as things really heat up.

The garden.

Scenario background

 More game info.

 

Red team heroes, Wolodovski and Longinus from the Defenders of the Faith faction.

Supporting Dragoons.

Footman-they start as neutral,  can become red team resources.

 

Favius (left) and Thibeault (right) will duel this day. And did they ever!

 

Unlike earlier this week,  the action was indoors, Greg and I squared off at the dining table is A/C  comfort. 

Greg's set up, Athos top of photo, two musketeers on the left, Rochefort bottom left and a concubine  forward right.  In the middle, Favril attacks Thibeault.

This particular game is set for sword fighting. It did not disappoint. Star fencers were tested and wounded, the two main characters from the expansion battered each other to as little as one wound left.

Near game end,  Favril (blue team)and Thibeault (red team) both wounded still standing, Wolodovsky prone, Rocheforte wounded.  The Blue team lost  a musketeer, both guards that joined. After the photo, Longinus kills Athos; guard at bottom right moved toward, shoots Rochefort , who dies. 

Barely squeaking out a win for the Red team, the points all came near the end.  Trading winning back and forth on the scenarios brings the Red team slightly ahead overall. 

Next week is a new scenario scheduled for Friday.
