CaptPiett and I met up this past Sunday for a little bit of gaming. After subjecting him to a Titan game I've been kicking around we played this scenario.

Essentially, 4k of Knights had six turns to break 3500 points of Otterian Guard (a list I threw together that pays homage to the great wares of yesteryore) in bunkers and trenches to capture a single objective.

The Crusaders approach!

Castellans advance despite crappy command.

Image
Malcadors hold the line.

Image
Paladins advance under fire.

Image
Valdors looking to kill.

Image
After a turn, the Knights prepare to break the line.

Image
Errants with Skitarii support clear out the Otterian's right flank.

Image
Right up the middle.

Image
Paladins charge the line.

Image
They meet with the mobile reserves.

Image
Ol' Unreliable...

Image
Crusaders finally make it to the line.

Image
Knights push on towards the bunker.

Image
The Rough Riders' magnificent valor.

Image
Hold on boys! We's gonna jump!

Despite just throwing together a scenario, the Otterian army list/stats and the point totals this game was incredibly close. At the end of the six turns the Baron was contesting the objective with the Otterian HQ 1 BM away from breaking. Four hours well spent.

The game also saw a new addition to our cast of characters: "Ol' Unreliable" a Malcador Defender that's been in service for 10,000 years but has never really worked.

I need to source some non-FW/SG hydras. Those were the only things not after-market in my Otterian army :P

I really like Dave's list. It kind of reminds me of LatD in that there's a cheap core formation that I can upgrade with clunky old tanks (they count as 2 DC WE with no RA in the list). With 3 WE added in, I joked that the infantry could get wiped out and as long as the tanks rally later, they haven't lost much. Ol' Unreliable was part of the "rock star" formation that held made a lot of saves and held the line, despite being broken. Fun game (that was actually fun!)
