Well I finally got a real game of Dark-Age in over the past weekend. It was 590pts per side. CORE vs Outcasts (with bounty hunters).
I didn’t keep notes – it was out first ever game – flipping through the book and double checking card stats as we went. I have to say that it was pretty straight forward. After about 3 rounds we had it pretty straight.
I wasn’t really sure how to go about tactics on the Core. So we both just really went for the bloodbath of a head on confrontation.
I also think we will need more Dark-Age appropriate terrain. I found that my son was extremely lucky with his rolls – especially armor saves lol. And on top of that I had horrible dice most of the game.
The outcast Bully was pretty hard to take out. I ended up joining this CC with my Pathfinder to take him down.
Also – the Thumper was entertaining. Hitting the “target” once in three rounds of shooting. Before he got taken out.
In the end – the Outcasts were to much for my Core gang. The dice were really favoring my son. As well as I think the core needs to mix together better for support.
Next time I have a better idea of how to use the force. The outcasts really seemed straight forward. Really good on a straight up skirmish.
Also next time, we will try not to get some of the squad linking wrong – as well as play with the secondary objectives.
