Next up, my least favorite swingy game mode, Fire and Blood. Free Folk units can't kill anything. Except Mag, but then he gets focused down. Especially with a Ballista on the other side. But again I couldn't bring my zoo, otherwise the animals would just get marked and give up points.
At least we had regular and not in-your-face deployment, so Jarl comes in turn 2. Refuse flanks on both sides.
The threat of Jarl coming in the back of the crossbows kept the veterans in the back, effectively out of the game for two rounds.
Careful positioning evaded combat during the second round. Ballista took 2 wounds off the bears.
And then, BANG! Jon Snow turned off the Spearmen, and everybody went in. But because of OP shenanigans, they survived, even with the cavemen in the flank.
This is where I lost the game, I should have sent in Mag to finish the job, effectively trading him. Instead, I tried to press the advantage and have the bears score the kill, but they did nothing. And then the veterans grinded down Mag with precision attacks, and he died to a panic check from the crown. So sad.
Oh, and then free conscripts to heal back the spearmen. Who are now at full wounds.
At least the veterans failed their charge into the thenns. The bears deleted the conscripts - too little, too late. Jon Snow survived ballista shots to the face, as well as panic checks.
With only the two kills scored, the game ended 3-2.
