Wolsung Battle Report – Scylla vs Ash & Oak
It's time to get stuck into a battle report of a different sort today. We're going to be checking out Wolsung SSG from Micro Art Studio and pitting the Ash & Oak Club against the devious Scylla for the sake of moonshine!
Come and join us as we play out the battle today and get stuck into some proper highjinks!
Who do you think is going to come out on top?
The Mission - Stealing Moonshine
It's time to outline just what is going to be going down at the farm today. The Scylla and the Ash & Oak club are getting ready to have some fun with moonshine - or so they think.
What do you think of the scenario we're outlining here AND who do you think has the edge, Justin or Warren?
Meet The Gangs Taking To The Tabletop Today
You can't have a good scrap without some scrappers and so we take you through the two factions we're going to be using today and what characters of note have limbered up for a fight...
Justin Deploys His Scylla
It's time for the gangs to get into position and taking to the field to begin with we have Justin and his Scylla.
How Do The Card Mechanics Work?
As a bit of a primer on the world of Wolsung we take you through how the card mechanic works in the game so you can keep up with the action.
The Contract Killer Takes His Shot
It's time to get dirty as the Contract Killer begins his 'wet work'. He has found himself a good roost and decides to take his shot...
The Last Chance For Sir Lance
As the cards are dealt Justin has to work out how to steal the initiative and then gets beaten by...well, you'll have to find out what.
Will Warren be able to pull the spigot?
Our Final Thoughts
The chaps sit down for a spot of tea and talk about their game. It ended up as an Ash & Oak Club win but there might have been a few moments where it could have gone either way.
Give us your own thoughts in the comments below and tell us what you might have done differently and where we could go next with this story.
Bring it on hic!
great ! I can watch it live till 3pm! lets do it good luck Justin!
have a good game
I’m quite partial to the rules of Wolsung. They make for an interesting game with lots of options and choices to make. Couldn’t get it on the table often enough, sadly.
Good ol’ Spiggot Ale. Need more of this, great batrep, awesome terrain.
Great battle report guys, this is why I joined BOW. Wolsung is a nice looking game from excellent looking miniatures and terrain to fun rules to play it. I look forward to more Wolsung coverage.
Fun BatRep guys! Love to see games like this.
Absolutely loved this guys. Such a cinematic game! The golem definitely needed to activate more though! I was dying to see it smash through the door of the distillery and rampage off into the countryside!
It’s a crying shame that I have neither the time/money/acquaintances to get into this game haha
Looks like you had a real fun day. Love to see more battle reports.
nice bat rep guys. loved watching your game
Loved it, liked how the card`s worked. As of yet still not sure on which faction to go for, but i will get there one day. Can`t wait for the next installment………………
looked a fun game just love the table guys.
I thoroughly enjoyed this and would love to see more in the future. I would think that the trail of purloined distillate might lead to the sea side depot where it is waiting to be stowed.
The use of a traditional card deck is an interesting addition to the game and others like Malifaux. Though dice are still used in Wolsung, the extra part of the cards is unique spin and they don’t even need to be official products. Real bang for the buck as these cards can be used for these games and basic card games if needs be.
As for a @Warzan mash-up I could see the 60’s Batman and Robin making an appearance.
Really enjoyed this game, guys- hope you do more!
That was a lot of fun to watch. I’d like to see what you guys could do with Strange Aeons or This is Not a Test.
Thanks for this battle report.
I really enjoy watching it.
Very didactic example of the game.
Please do more report with this high quality.
I second brand- give This is Not a Test a go; I think you’ll get a real kick out of it!
Great report and how much fun does Wolsung look! Also, I don’t know if it is new or I have missed it in the past but I love the play all feature! This is great so I can just let the computer go while I am doing other work or something. Only complaint, and it is minor, is that the play all feature doesn’t work on my Kindle Fire as the app is not recognized. The videos still play in the one shot articles so that is fine.
Yet another great report. Keep these coming and I’ll keep watching. Doesn’t matter what game it is.
The board looks very thematic. I like how you have given each scenery piece a function. And the scenario was hilarious. Too bad the golem didn’t get more action. I think lowering the activation to a 3+ once awake is a good adjustment.
And Justin was visibly having way too much fun trying to beat up Warren. Is colleague rivalry the new thing?
The game looks wonderful too. Unfortunately it’s just one game too many for me at this time. Can’t collect and play them all.
Finally got to watch this awesome game – thanks guys! The format seemed to work really well too. Lots of little videos can be hard and anoying to watch, but having a ‘play all’ function meant that it was much easier to follow.
Please do more Wolsung!
Also, I think Justin was using how own Scylla miniatures – which look fantastic. Whose were the Ash and Oak Club? Were they by Justin too? And the Golem? They all looked really nice, and the table was great too. As for what happens next @warzan and @dignity… I could see the Triads moving in on the Scylla’s turf, sensing weakness and an opportunity to muscle in on their territory. I could see the Inventors going after the Golem to try to capture it / research and repurpose it. That could be an Inventors vs. Golem game, or an Inventors… Read more »
Great game guys, when’s the next one 😉
id love to see a scylla vs ash and oak rematch where the scylla go to get revenge. the objective is to set fire to the ash and oak manor house in multiple spots during a fancy party where they were drinking all the illegal booze. (maybe followed by the loose crazed golem trying to recover his stolen booze) not too familiar with wolsung to know if thats in the realm but should be fun.
