Inferno!

Kedashi Playtesting Battle Report #1

 Played on: July 8, 2017

For the first battle, we decided to test the Kiterak. We set up two forces of 300 points, and played the Inferno! scenario.

Nobody knows how it started, but a wall of flames is descending upon the forest, destroying all in its path. The Kiterak and her followers rush for the safety of a nearby hill, while some Empire rabble are intent on doing the same. That’s actually quite an opportunity: one must eat well before starting the long trek to find a new home.

    A frenu’s eye view of the situation, with the fire coming at the bottom, the Kedashi within the trees to the left, and the food rushing in from the top.

    The brave Kedashi advance towards their goal (the 2 oval pieces of forest with a tree on top are forest areas that the queen may deploy within her command range).
  • Everyone advances

    The game starts slowly, with everyone and everything – including the fire – progressing towards the hill.
  • First battle for the hill

    The Empire knights reach the hill first, but are quickly followed there by a medium swarm, which attacks them immediately.

    Meanwhile, the slower members of the troops slog along. The venerated Kiterak leaves the safety of the forest, while the kaopi stays behind, busy creating a second medium swarm. The fire is now close.
  • Kisses

    Aww, look at the little frenu ready to kiss the nice mount. Or peck it to death, now that’s more likely.
  • Swarm attack

    The kaopi advances, a second medium swarm having been created right next to nice, juicy food.

    Disaster! The swarm has been destroyed! Bob and Rob the brutes are in shock at this dramatic turn of event. That being said, one of the food is dead as well. And an elite it was, too…
  • The fire is closing in

    The Kiterak herself is outraged. And also feeling just a little bit of heat on her back.
  • Denied

    The treacherous food reaches the hill first, denying the Kiterak access.
  • The Kaopi is here
    The Kaopi is here
    This does not stop her however, and she and her brutes manage to squeeze onto the hill. So does the kaopi. Just in time too: the fire has now reached the hill. The light and heat are nearly unbearable.
  • Bob and Rob are ready to act

    It is now time to deal with the food. Rob the brute dispatches a couple of meat sacks that were in the way.
  • The slingers flee

    Meanwhile, the slingers are legging it. Good thing too - can you believe they’d had the cheek to shoot at the Kiterak?
  • The death of Bob
    The death of Bob
    On the hill, things are getting tense. Rob attacks the mounted leader, but fails to bring him down. Bob then charges in, sacrificing himself but felling the last elite.

    Rob will be mourned later. Right now, the Kedashi are safe on the hill, with plenty of food to keep their bellies full. All’s well that ends well.
Some thoughts on the game and the rules
  • When we started playing we did not have points for the Kiterak, I estimated it at 100 (and later found out that Mike had come up with the same estimate on Facebook - which was nice).
  • The Kiterak is Commander (4), however this did not feel sufficient, as she had to use 2 of the 4 slots to move the brutes. A rules tweak fixed that in the second game.
  • Creating frenu is really nice, however this was not used too much in that game. First some frenu must have been sacrificed as the new ones must come from that pool. Also, I was overcautious and only created one per turn (I wanted to keep one stamina point for the Kiterak’s Very Tough ability, just in case). I realise now that I should have always created 2 frenu, as I could always sacrifice them back if needed. My brain wasn’t operating very well, it must have been the heat.
  • The heroic actions of the brutes won the game, however I am not sure that they are best suited as defenders. I’ll let Mike come up with some special rules (until then, I’ll keep using them, because they are awesome).
  • Playing this scenario on a hot summer day makes for some nicely dramatic pictures, and also for potential disaster for the various resin minis. Oops…
