Sunday 8/18 Game Vault
« on: August 15, 2013, 12:08:41 pm »
A strange and powerful artifact has been unearthed by a group of archaeologists on the north coast of Africa.  A message by an ecstatic archaeologist to his research team at the British Museum has been intercepted by several Imperial Bond intelligence agents.  Advance teams of Legion squads have been sent to raid the dig site and retrieve the artifact for their nation while fleets and battalions move into position to support these advance teams.

This is a team-based campaign with linked scenarios for Dystopian Legions and Dystopian Wars with the outcome of each game affecting the others.  Bring a 1,000 point DW list (land, sea, and air) and/or 200 point DL list.  Contact MadDrB maddrb@yahoo.com for more information.

Location:  The Game Vault, Fredericksburg, VA
Time:  Noon, Sunday, 8/18 until 6 pm.

Thanks to everyone who made it.  It worked out great that we had 6 players for that first round.  It was definitely a day for the Imperial Bond with their new FSA allies--the Prussian Legions team secured the vault and liberated the artifact while the EotBS fleet secured the coast from threats by the Covenant of Antarctica to steal the artifact and the FSA force pushed back at the Russian fleet guarding the strait to the open Atlantic ocean so the artifact could be delivered to a secret Prussian research facility.

It was mostly a great chance to meet some new players and I regret that I couldn't stick around as late as I had planned to play in a game myself, etc.  I'll post some of the pictures I took when I get some time in the next couple of days.

Our British and Prussian players arrived from Richmond to play a game of Dystopian Legions with the objective of controlling the door to an uncovered underground vault in the desert.  But the Prussian team arrived with one of their rolling ironclads (otherwise known as a "tiny tank").



We're all still learning the rules for playing Legions, but this game was interesting to see unfold.  That Prussian "tiny tank" inflicted significant casualties against the British infantry, and then the Prussian armored steam knights marched up and siezed control of the hatch to the vault.



The Covenant player at the next table mobilizing some bombards to provide some artillery support, some of which hit their allied British troops.



But the Japanese fleet smashed the Covenant forces and took control of the coast, providing an escape route for the Prussian Legions team to take the artifact they found in the desert vault back to a secret lab.



And the allied Russian fleet which was guarding an approach to the Strait of Gibraltar?  An FSA fleet arrived demanding passage, and when the Russians refused a shooting confrontation broke out--the FSA helped to secure passage for the Prussian and Japanese fleets out to the Atlantic, although intelligence reports still don't inform exactly why this rogue fleet fired upon ships of the Grand Alliance or if this indicates any change of political aims for the FSA.



The awesome tropical islands seemed to have been relocated into the Med by strange effect of the powerful artifact uncovered in the North African desert....
