This Fantasy game was played on 2016-10-25 at Richard's place using Song of Blades and Heroes-Rules (set in ' Chronopia ') and 28mm miniatures. This report was written by Matthias.
This scenario is your typical in-your-face-last-man-standing-wins type of game.

We used the same warbands as in our first game. We used the simple campaign rules, which lead to the Mounted Axeman having to miss this game. Richard could have used some VPs to buy a warband advance, but to keep things simple, he forewent this option.
The Devout managed to advance all models except the Harbinger.
The Devout positioned some Skeletons in front of the hill occupied by the Skeleton Archers.

When I first read the description of the Heavy Armour trait, I thought this was pretty useless... saving you when the combat scores differ by exactly one? Did not seem much likely to happen that often. But this game saved one Cursed at least 5 times on exactly that rule! So I revised my opinion and am now a big fan of Heavy Armour!
I think the relatively lucky roll of the Skeleton against the Enlightened (very much helped by that fallen modifier) was the turning point of the battle. Had the Enlightened survived, it would have been much more difficult to score a win.
