Burrows & Badgers - Painting & Gaming

So, the first game of our campaign started for Burrows & Badgers. I have made a warband which focuses in on the idea of Robin Hood.

I have Robyn Waterfood, Big Jon, Red Bill, Much and Father Wenlock.

The first mission was Defend The Haul where I had a very ranged warband coming up a heavily armoured foe.

Here are just a few highlights where I was able to put paid to the leader of the enemy warband. Big Jon was able to rush out with a charge and hit the Hare in a flurry of blows and get the initiative for a final strike.

It was a close run thing as a whole with the enemy closing in all around me and it was getting tough to be able to use my ranged offensive capabilities against them and avoid the damage.

Thankfully I was able to get the better of the enemy in the central area and do a fair amount of damage to the enemy whilst also ignoring it myself.

I learned a lot of good things about the game in this first match-up. Slippery is an amazing ability which really helps archers. Expert Shot is great for sniping from afar.

Also, Lucky is a fantastic spell to have at your disposal and when you boost it, it can be exceptionally powerful at the right time and used with the right characters.

It was a very cagey game overall with just one character going down a piece. Even though I ‘won’ I didn’t actually come out of it with any upgrades which is a shame…mainly because I just couldn’t get my Secondary Objective done due to the nature of the scenario and me being the attacker.
