That board looks incredible. Can you tell us how the corn field and hay bale were made please? Also, congrats on the win.

AWESOME scenery, Gentlemen, CONGRATULATIONS!!! 

[dartfrog]

It wasn't a win. It was slaughter aided by the bounty hunter scum! Game went well and even worked well on the size of board we went for, about 5x7 something like that.

Most of the terrain was Sam's dads Russian front stuff, with what I could shove in a bag a take over thrown amongst it along with a few hastely painted figures. Many thanks to our host and the other scurvy player who shot the congregation. Looking forward to many more games. For details on the terrain I pass you to Sam's dad and his blog.

Do you have a link for the blog?

Another question @fenrir:

- Is each posse limited to one Arcanist? I am asking because The Congregation miniatures include a mambo, hougan and bokor - and I would like to use all three miniatures as Arcanists.

@ dartfrog and Sam's dad: truly epic looking game  but tell me who's the "bounty hunter scum!"

@ Fenrir thank you, though we haven't that number of dice yet. but we have a few funny instances

my sister's activated two figures in a turn first was her   vamp boss  who was in combat won that fight and shoved  my younger brother Phil's skinwalker chief off a mine walkway, he survived the fall (barely) down to only have Diana other vamp feed on him.

and we've had a harbinger survive being shot at by three models with six guns with silver bullets in a row only to taken down by a bow at short range

@Sam's Dad / Dartfrog: brilliant looking set-up, and kudos on getting some actual Dracula's America figures painted in a short space of time! I admit I never envisaged the game being played on anything beyond a 4x4 table- but I'm glad to hear it seemed to work alright... Out of interest, did the movement distances not seem a little too short, or did you increase the deployment zones?

@Saucy Jack: I'm afraid it's technically one Arcanist per Posse... However, you could always take a Maverick Arcanist Hired Gun and just use one of those models for him/her? Book 3 has rules for a new Bokor Hired Gun, so eventually you will be able to use all 3 models as the Congregation intended! Until then, your spare 'Arcanist' will have to content themselves as just another Posse-member, I fear! 
...Of course, if your opponents are happy to allow it then just buy several Grimoires, ignore the Arcanist cap, and have at it!

@DeltaBlue: Brilliant stuff- I love all the amusing/ridiculous things that can potentially occur during play- it's good to hear other folks are already having fun with DA!    Was the Skinwalker Chief actually in Beast Form when he got shoved off the walkway?!

(Can you tell us how the corn field and hay bale were made please)
the corn field is made of JTT SCENERY 95553 2" CORN STALKS O-SCALE ,and the hay stack is an old ready soup container covered in pva gloo and cover with coco nut fibers from a door mat
(  but tell me who's the "bounty hunter scum!")he is short and round and walks close to the ground ,and his name is larry

I did wonder about the move rate on our board size, but decided to keep to the rules for our first batch of games. In fact I didn't find the 4" move to much of a problem at all! I was shocked. I think as we had plenty of time we didn't have a time pressure to the game, that and if we wanted to get a stride on we just allocated both actions to a figure to get a trot on. I think we started about 6" or so in.
          The 'bounty hunter scum' that was Larry was a basic group with a hero a veteran and a bunch of novice thugs from up North. I didn't want to get too complicated on the first game. One rule I forgot until the llast few turns was the 'reroll on a max dice' must remember that one!
         Many of the figures still need finishing, but were good enough to playtest with. The 'Col' was the freebie one I got on the kickstarter as a limited edition. So of coarse I hacked off his hand and gave him a pistol from statuesque miniatures.
         Next stop is some mounted guys and the plantation house.
