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

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.

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.

Lance has painted up his first bunch of models for the tabletop and we think they've come out rather nicely. He will be, as mentioned before, taking control of the Ven Rier Agents.

In this merry band he has an Eisfield Generator, a Necrogolem, Elisabeth Suess, a Necrogolemic Workshop, Ursula and Jonathan Wormwood

Before we get stuck into the battle proper we thought we'd give you a look at how Lyoness is shaping up right now before we start burning down parts of it.

As you can see we've gone for a few distinct looking districts and really tried to bring to life the sense of character within the world of Wolsung.

Can you see any choke points and interesting options already opening up for our Steampunk leaders?

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?

With those initial moves over the guys start to plan out what they want to do with their next turn. This means some crazy vials of 'who knows what' getting thrown and a bit of a scuffle as the first signs of combat spring out of this once quiet part of Lyonesse.

How do you think things are going so far? Do you reckon you could spot a winner right now?

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!

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?

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?

Justin & Lance sit down to discuss what they felt about the game and where they think they'd change things if they took this scenario on again.

They name their men (and women) of the match and talk about what they like the most about the world of Wolsung SSG.

What has been your favourite moment in Wolsung?
