Civs Foray into Frostgrave

So i had my first game of Frostgrave and was pleasantly surprised at how quickly we managed to pick up the rule and flow of the game.

My enchanter and apprentice hired 2 thieves, 4 thugs and 2 archers from a local tavern and went off in search of treasure in the frozen city.

They soome came across an elementalist and their all female retinue (sisters of sigmar models from Mordheim). We quickly came to blows as my archers started taking potshots at the opposing wizard whilst the enemy apprentice started throwing elemental bolts back.

I soon lost both my wizard and apprentice to these bolts (some good rolling killed them both outright!) But they had not been idle and had used telekenisis to drag some treasure tokens closer to my board edge.

I managed to sneak off the board with my thieves both bagging a treasure token each. But the one that would win me the game was being run down by a full warband intent on doing the poor thug harm.

I threw some thugs in the warbands way and one of the plighty thugs managed to knock out two of his opposing number in a straight up fight, mvp awarded right there.

A few lucky initiative rolls and my archer managing to knock out the opposing wizard managed to see me make off with the last treasure securing me the win!

A very close but enjoyable game, quite quick to which made it fun.

The after action saw two of my warband permanently dead which wasnt bad considering i lost all but 3 of my crew. My wizard gained two levels and got 200 gold and 5 scrolls which i will probably sell.

As this was a practice game none of this will be used but we wanted to test out the whole process.

A campaign starts i  2 weeks so its for real soon. Better get to finishing the painting.
