Shifting Loyalties Campaign - Week 1

This week was the first of our Shifting Loyalties campaign!

I'm running an all-hog crew, lead my Old Major. My starting Arsenal is:

- Old Major with Corn Husks
- Gracie
- Wild Boar
- Piglet
- Piglet

Game 1: Old Major vs The Daimyo

Strategy: Reckoning
Schemes: Protect Territory, Distract
Weekly Event: Forbidden Texts

This game turned into a 6" x 6" scrum in the centre of the board pretty quickly. The Piglets grabbed themselves some Forbidden Texts with the help of Old Major's Corn Husks (renamed for this battle to 'Readin' Lessons'..), while the Wild Boar distracted the terrifying Jorogumo.

The 3" melee range on the Jorogumo meant it had a good pick of targets, and tried to maximise kills for Reckoning - but misjudged a Piglet, who killed it dead with a lucky blow!


(Dramatic re-enactment)

The Daimyo summoned some Ashigaru reinforcements and the Punk Zombie held its own, but eventually became pig feed.


By the third turn or so we were down to only two models, and the game ended when Gracie and Old Major finished off the Daimyo.

The Hogs came out of their first week without a scratch, and were up a good amount of scrip from their 4 VP and three Forbidden Texts. Old Major developed an Expanded Palette, allowing him to discard corpse markers around him to heal up - which will come in handy the next time he faces the Daimyo!
