It was a fun game and went quite smoothly, using spells was quite interesting and relatively easy. The fact that we got a combination of Fog and a 5 Turn game with two shooting armies really kept the attrition down, but I did ike out a Victory with the MaUE scoring 15 points to tthe GK's 9.
Good Game John here is may take on the battle https://fencingfrog.blogspot.com/2019/07/saga-age-of-magic-great-kingdoms-vs.html
ReplyDeleteI think Magic makes more "sense" in a semi skirmish setting like this than on a large battlefield.
