Ambush at Gaiman’s Woods

Now that we are caught up on the 9th edition rules, my son and I started a crusade campaign last weekend. It was a lot of fun putting our crusade rosters together and thinking about the background of our forces. We fought a 500 point battle with just a few units on each side and it was a fun and spirited struggle. As per usual my son emerged victorious, but the final victory point tally was 21-19 so it was our closest game yet. Plus I scored the moral victory of defeating his Watch Captain in hand to hand combat with my 4th Company Master Korlael. The crusade rules added a lot of fun to the game and it's aftermath and the strongest recommendation for the new rules I can give is that it makes it just as fun to be the loser of a battle as it does the victor. In my opinion that has always been uneven in other campaigns I have tried in the past so I'm eager to see how it plays out. Follow along after the jump for more pictures of the battle...
