There is what in the woods!!!! - Loup Garou Surprise Scenario - 28/08/22

  • Having made off like bandits in the first game both the Russians and the Spanish now ventured out into the woods of Tal Des Wurzelgemuses east of there previous Investigation following the tracks of some creature.


    Again both forces would be using the experimental units rules with the Spanish taking two units of Infantry and a unit of Rifles, the Russians took some slightly better quality troops with a unit of Rifles and Infantry.



    The Scenario had 7 clues for the units to investigate.



    The Russians deployed.



    Followed by the Spanish.



    The Russian made for the nearest objectives grabbing what they could, the Spanish advanced just a brazenly but chose to wait until turn 2 to investigate, meaning they secured many of them in preparation.




    The Russians being keen to grab things early caught the attention of the creature in the woods and were wolf lumbered into view.




    Much to Andy's amusement with the Spanish, he was set for grabbing everything else, which turned out to be silver weapon supplies.......to take down the were wolf!



    As it was the Russians beat them to the punch but there was plenty still to play for as Soldiers who revealed clues would gain extra XP if they escaped the board on turn 4, there was just one little problem.




    The four Dark Wolves and 2 Were wolves that turned up in turn 3. With the Russians Officer and Champion of Faith taken out by Spanish fire, the Russians backed off ready to make good their escape, leaving a unit of rifles to fight a holding action to cover the manoeuvre.


    The Spanish took the opportunity to perform a similar action and moved back.



    Somewhat cowardly of both players as they ran from the on coming beasts, but in support of there campaigns, probably a wise move.


    The Spanish carried the day with XP in this encounter.
