The War in Idenfels (Burnt Toast; the Long March)

Melee fodder secures an objective in dangerous terrain.

Numerous regimental cults were involved in heavy fighting in the vicinity of Idenfels. First was the 'Burnt Toast' scenario, but with four players arranged into two teams of two. An alliance of Grand Bombard and St. Alamei's Rockets miscalculated the deployment of their respective artillery pieces and fell to a Fungal Herd of pigs and Stranglin' Harry's (?) men.

Burnt Toast, a turn or two in.

There followed a Long March with the Grand Bombard and Knights of Shellwood taking on the Herd and Strangling Harry's men again.

This time the melee power of the Shellwood Knights, supported by some effective shooting by the Bombard secured a strong win.
