Sharphammer - Breaking two Perfectly Good Rules Sets...
Illustrative Playthrough - Part 3
Mid-game the stone thrower inflicted casualties on the Norse Hunters, who in turn inflicted casualties on the Albion Warriors on the Albion left flank. The Hunters also moved aside to give the Nose Reavers a line of charge.
Had this been a normal game then the Albion forces would have only needed to hold their ground in the village to grind out a win, but as a stalemate didn’t seem like an entirely appropriate test of the combination of rules systems I decided that the unit in the village would charge the Shieldmaidens opposing. I wanted to test the interaction of the Albion ‘War Fury’ and Norse ‘Counter Charge’ and ‘Beserkergang’ special rules. As expected, the Albion unit broke the shieldmaidens but was then flank charged by the unit of Reavers and scattered, with the Shieldmaidens subsequently rallying.
On the Albion left flank the remaining unit of warriors moved on the Huntsmen, bringing them just within striking distance of the second set of Norse Reavers.
