Mutant Chronicles WARZONE Battle Report: Fatal Encounter

[Katsuhiko JiNNai]

Today I played my first game with the old Warzone first edition.
The scenario was simple: two forces that fight until one surrender or it is defeated.

Overview of the board:

 
Here the lists we played (I was the brotherhood player):



BROTHERHOOD (8 models), 500pt

"ArchBishop Arles" (Cardinal Dominic) (175pt)

"Crimson Furies" (Fury Elite Guard) Squad (185pt)
2 Furies w/Deliver and Punisher, Fearless, Very Strong, Pain Resistant (112pt)
x1 Sergeant w/Deliver and Avalanche, Command Helmet, Crack shot, Fearless,
Very Strong, Pain Resistant (73pt)

Pilgrims Squad (140pt)
4 Pilgrims w/Converter and Nemesis, w/grenade launcher (AP)
 


CYBERTRONIC (6 models) 500pt

Enhanced Chasseur w/Plasma Carbine and P1000,
unbliking eye, seek and destroy program, tactical program (100pt)

Cuirassiers Squad w/scanner (400pt):
3 Cuirassiers w/AR3000 and CSA 404 (195pt), Cuirassier with HMG (93),
Chasseur Hero w/Rocket Launcher (89pt)


The two forces move for two turns with caution. The Cybertronic player is eager to keep his distance, fearing the hand to hand combat. The Brotherhood player use the Art spell of "Elemental Wall" as a cover from enemy fire for his advancing forces.



Finally the Cybertronic player see an opportunity and open fire with his attila squad, defeating 3 pilgrims.


The Brotherhood player active the lone pilgrim and Teleport it near the Cybertronic Ehnanced Chasseur, hoping to defeat it with his armor piercing grenades. But the pilgrim fails.


The Cybertronic player continue to avoid confrontation. The Brotherhood player chases him.


After a brutal firing, the Fury squad and an Attila are defeated. Another attila is damaged.


The last pilgrims is defeated. Now the ArchBishop is alone.


For some turns the Brotherhood player try to use his Art spells to dominate the attila specialist, then he could use it to open fire to the cybertronic team, but the attila resists. Then after receiving two wounds and cured two the brotherhood played decide to retreat, leaving the victory to the Cyertronic.


ArchBishop Arles: "The forces of darkness have temporarily prevailed, but the Light will triumph!"

 Looking forward to seeing the forces fleshed out a bit more.

Fab looking figures and board!

It's brilliant to see the awesome old school Warzone figures too!
