144Artist Explores Lyonesse or My Journeys into Wolsung
Ash and Oak throw down with the Inventors... again. Part One.
After all the gluing and painting I was able to sit down for a game of Wolsung with my friend, Necron099, at the convention this past weekend. He chose the Pothole Market scenario as we had market pieces to use as well as crates. I really like how convention game tables are often a mix of different people’s collections. The cobblestone street he carved out of foam really helps sets the mood and sets off the figures wonderfully.
Our combined collections make for a nice looking battlefield.
Both minis and terrain look even cooler on this board.
I chose Zachary Fiercebatten the Third and Lady Quimby to lead my team...
... while Ingrid Rangvoldlottir and Luigi Canpari (not pictured as he's flying around somewhere) would represent the Inventors Club. 
Lady Quimby brought her mechanic, Lugg, along to keep the monocycle at peak performance While Zachary was accompanied by his faithful friend Singh. I was looking forward to having those re-rolls for Zachary as long as Singh also has line of sight.
Ingrid brought her mirror golems as well as a lab golem while Luigi was seen carrying a Jack-in-the-Box. I don’t know what he does but I’m sure it will not be some thing I like.We set up our objectives a little more spread out than the diagram in the book but the seemed to fit the terrain better. They appear as black gears on the battle field pictures. When activated they are green for Ash and Oak or red for the Inventors.
We opted for the “Deploy on opposite sides 6 inches onto the table”.
Zachery deploys on the rooftop within sprinting distance of an objective.
Lugg and Lady Quimby deploy on the street in the center. The Red Marker in this shot is actually one of the possible spots Singh could be deployed due to his special rules.
Ingrid deployed behind the brick building but stil in view of one of her Mirror Golems. Luigi lead a lab golem through the market while concealing the deadly Jack-in-the-Box among the wares and shoppers. I wouldn't see him until I got close and he pops up with twin machine guns blazing..I won the bid for first turn and began to move my troops toward objectives and firing positions. Zachary started on a rooftop near one objective and was able to even get one activation before adding a card to gain a second. The Inventor’s used their first activation to have Ingrid line up her mirrors and shoot Singh dead before he could do anything. Man, she is cold and deadly.
To be continued in the next post…
Look forward to seeing how this game concludes!
Great writeup. It was a very fun game with a well matched sniper based gangs.
