Lyonesse Is Burning Down! Wolsung SSG Battle Report – Inventors Club Vs Ven Rier Agents

Supported by (Turn Off)

It's time to get stuck into another Battle Report for you this weekend as we look at playing out Lance's first game within the world of Wolsung SSG by Micro Art Studios.

It’s time to get stuck into another Battle Report for you this weekend as we look at playing out Lance’s first game within the world of Wolsung SSG by Micro Art Studios. In this game we’re going to see the Inventors Club (Justin) and Ven Rier (Lance) clashing as the city of Lyonesse is burning down around them. One side will be looking to set fire to buildings and more whilst the other is trying to put out the blaze. This is Lance’s first step into wargaming proper and we think it’s a great narrative scenario which you might want to try out at home too! Who do you think will come out on top?

Welcome To The Battle – Lyonesse Is Burning Down!

2 Comments

You heard us right, Lyoness is burning down and it's up to the Inventors Club led by Justin to try and put the fires out (I wouldn't hold out too much hope!).

Lance will be playing his first game EVER here as the Ven Rier Agents who are setting fires and causing distractions around the city.

Justin’s Crew – The Inventors Club

1 Comment

Taking on the challenge of controlling the fiery inferno threatening to engulf Lyonesse we have Justin playing as the Inventors Club.

He is controlling Thorvald Nielsgaard, Alice Tinkerly, a Lab Assistant and two Lab Golems.

Deployment & First Moves Of The Game

2 Comments

With Deployment done the lads talk through where they've positioned some of their characters and look ahead to what they're going to be doing when it comes to their first moves.

Will Justin look towards putting out fires and will Lance continue to set things alight? Is that the shudder of a Necrogolem coming to life I hear?

End Of The Turn – Fires Out, Mitts Off!

2 Comments

The guys get to the end of Turn Two and move on towards Turn Three with a new Initiative bid. With that done they look ahead to more bashing and bruising although the Lab Assistant seems content with pelting Elisabeth with bottles...

Justin also seems to enjoy fancy lightning fun times and Lance makes one of his characters go bampf!

End Of Round Three – It’s A Close One!

3 Comments

The game continues and the guys look towards a final last ditch attempt to play around with fire and see if they can actually bring anyone down.

Necrogolems are smashing the ground apart and Johanthan Wormwood has a surprise for Thorvald.

How will this all end up?

A Final Slice Of The Action

1 Comment

Here's a quick look at the game and some of the cool moments that I think will stick with Justin and Lance for a while. It was a neat skirmish, quick and simple, but a good way to show off how narrative scenarios play out on the tabletop in Wolsung.

What would you have done differently and where would you have tweaked and changed things?

Cool little scenario. I think it favoured the Van Rier agents though.Congrats on your first game, and nicely painted minis.

Thanks, think I want to repaint the golems again at some stage.

@lancorz really? I think the golums are great! Love the colours you’ve used on them – they’re very menacing but not drab. I’d be very pleased with them!

Yeah, it was a quick job at the time and I’d like to highlight them and do some more detail on some parts. Nit-picky stuff.

@lancorz Congratz on winning your first game! Now if you never play again you can tease @dignity that you have beaten him EVERY time you’ve played against him. How many of us can say we have a perfect win ratio?

Though I don’t play Wolsung myself, I always enjoy the Battle Reports and this was no exception!
Also @Lancorz- kudos on your first painted miniatures, they look more like the minis of someone who has been painting for ages- keep up the good work mate!

Thanks @Jonhay I’ve painted much larger pieces on canvas before but never anything to this scale, it was a fun and different experience.

Guys, Spells are Quick Actions.

I see so many wasted opportunities! Whenever you moved Thorvald Nielsgaard or Jonathan Wormwood you could have cast their spells. Also, Lance – if you had a red card in hand for your last Wormwood Activation, you could have turned Nielsgaard into an Eisfeld! (and yes, Nelsgaard’s Armour only stops Shooting Attacks, not Magic Attacks or Projectiles!)

Nice game guy`s, and nice first time win under your belt Lance. Nice paint work on your mini`s Lance, but now you`ve started painting mini`s there`ll be no stopping you…………………….

As for re-visiting the big guy`s, i`d have a word with John.

Well played, thought it might of been to much of a up hill struggle,
But once again, great idea for a game.
Nice to see some one getting in to it, have to say wish my painting was as good as that when i started.
Nice paint jobs on both teams.

Really fun battle report – well done guys.

I love the narrative you put into the setting and the way you tell the story of the game, and I love the way each of your games has looked like it’s taking part in a different part of the same city / world too.

More please!
