Blood Eagle, viking village raided by goblins AAR
« on: February 25, 2018, 12:17:29 PM »
Caroline and I played two games of Blood Eagle yesterday, it was the first time I've properly played the rules. Blood Eagle is a skirmish game that lends itself well for campaign gaming, and it features a bunch of folklore/fantasy elements as well. It did however not feature the exact type of profiles that I needed for trolls and goblins so I had to make my own unit profiles using the excellent unit and item creator within the game. I think I nailed the stats for the forest dwelling creatures quite well, and they were pretty balanced with the tweaked Viking villagers and champion we used for our 250pts game.

The troll, fireball throwing goblin shaman and the Viking champion all worked really well as the "heroes" on both sides.

So we played two scenarios from the rulebook, the first one being "The Raid" in which one side has to attack and break into the longhouse. Naturally the forest troll and goblins became the attackers and Vikings were set up to defend their dwellings.

Check my blog for the full AAR and more pictures from both scenarios played :)
