Blood on the Border Princes
« on: January 06, 2025, 01:08:19 PM »
Starting 2025 with a Border Princes campaign, where five players will go to war for control of this fractured and anarchic land. First battle saw the empire army led by Karl Franz rout the arrogant elves of Caledor in the dragonback mountains, bagging a new territory and a 50% discount on deathclaw!

In our second game the slayers of Karak Kadrin have come up short against the imperial gunline

Empire Plus Ultra! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks all for the encouragement! In the first siege of the campaign the dwarfs have been besieged in the Iron Rock by the Duchy of Ibar, one of the many warring states of this fractured land.

The Empire goes from victory to victory, routing now the arrogant elves in a small hamlet called Brasov.

Scarred by their defeats against Karl, the dwarves march north and wage war on the Duchy of Ibar instead, besieging an army of mercenaries on Reaver's Keep. I made the castle with foam and balsa just before the game!

The dwarf player didn't buy any ladders or siege towers, his plan was to just march through the gate

And so we have come to the end, in the Varenka Hills four players met for a 3.000 points battle that would decide the fate of the Border Princes.
