Let’s Play: Frostgrave – Versus Battle Report (2nd Edition) #FrostgraveWeekOTT
December 25, 2020 by avernos
This time we're playing a Frostgrave 2nd Edition Versus Battle Report where Justin's Wizard and friends face off against Gerry's Discworld-inspired warband as they race to the top of The Silent Tower.
Frostgrave Books - Frostgrave Miniatures - Frostgrave Terrain
Will Ridcully The Brown take home the gold or will Justin's assassin in the guise of his Apprentice have something to say about it? Even the very terrain of Frostgrave can be an enemy to the unwary!

What would you have done differently if you were playing this game?
Merry Christmas ! Definitely building a Frostgrave specific board after seeing this
“Oak and Iron – Tabletop Simulator”? Fire that editor! I don’t care that its christmas day!
Looks like a great game.
I just looked on the OnTableTop store but Frostgrave is not in it.
Well have to look on Waylandgames then.
Definitely want to try and get my friends into the game. I want to play as a necromancer so badly!
Top let’s play guys ?
When/where is the mob meeting to lynch Justin for not liking Discworld? And do we bring our own flaming torches and pitchforks, or will those be provided for us?
?
Not liking Discworld I assume he has already been arrested and is in jail.
Or nailed to the the town hall by his figgin.
and will there be meat(?) pies for sale?
you know it and so cheap I’d be practically cutting someone else’s throat
I hear catering will be provided by CMOT Dibbler.
Justin is not into Discworld, but Gerry doesn’t know what Pern is (I assume he doesn’t like dragons)…
OK, not being a Pretchett fan is definitely worse. 😉
Amazing game, thanks for covering!
Love the acting of the spells cast ?
There is more snow on this screen then on my yard…. I WANT SNOW FLOCK-DAMN-IT!
Happy Holidays everyone.
I noticed that you always used group activation with the wizards/apprentices. That is not necessary, you know that, right? You can activate the soldiers normally. It’s just that usualy a group activation is less useful then single activation, unless say you want to gang up on a targt in melee or things run through a door and close it behind you.
Merry Christmas, awesome game of Frostgrave.
Jerry should change his Wizards’s name to blowhard!!
I just can’t get past how incredibly pretty the terrain is, and I definitely need some of it in my life (just need to find somewhere to store it, first)
Yeah I need to get onto making my Frostgrave board, this looks awesome
Does the null zone around the towers not negate the elemental wind negative modifiers?
no it’s a storm across the tabletop making archer impossible. So it’s more that the wind is summoned and the weather pattern is changed in the area rather than a magical effect
Great flavour in this game, I love it.
Mage Wars christmas day special.
Fun scenario, guys. The terrain collection really is versatile and looks great. Sorry, Justin, but Gerry is completely right here and I will always root for the Unseen University Alumni. I have to admit, Dragon Riders of Pern was entertaining and I find Macaffry tells a nice story overall but Sir Terry Pratchett, on the other hand, was a genius whose writing is entertaining, thought provoking, and moving. Good Omens remains one of my favorite novels of all time but it is the Discworld novels that best display his considerable craft and a wit as sharp as Death’s scythe. Even… Read more »
Looking forward to this
Thats an awesome board with the tower.
The Null field took away a lot of the cracy spells that could have happened like mind control or transpose but it worked well for the lets Play.
Instead of jumping down the tower into his death I would have tried to climb it down. Would have taken about 2-3 turns and he would have been alive
yeah but the floor below was held by Bogrim’s dastardly minions, safer to flyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaah! *splat*
You should have climbed down on the outside. The Archers couldn’t fire at you and thanks to the null field no magic. ?♂️
One of the things that I always loved about Frostgrave is that Felstad became an intersection of many dimensions in the multiverse. Meaning that “demons” are just inhabitants of a different dimensions allowing you to pull together warbands using whatever figures you want.
I’m excited to see how it all gets explored in The Red King Expansion.
I would have let the apprentice and the wizzard plus one bodyguard to pick up the treasures outside the tower because they cannot cast spells inside it and loose their main advantage.
that shows a level of thought far beyond our capacity
I see we have a fan of pitch meeting in the room. Nice t-shirt Gerry and good game.
Well played gents. Not sure what Justin was thinking showing up with unnamed models in a game like this. Almost as bad as if they were all just primed…no chance to win in that state 🙂
