Dragon Rampant - Boduria vs The Desert Dead

...

It turns out my previous game of DR was back in August; I am truly slack at these AAR's!  Also the photos were taken solely on my mobile phone, and in middling light with no flash, the results are marginal.  But for the purposes of full disclosure, here we are:

Bodurians seek to defend their Western borders from the ravages of the Undead 
Skeletons and Mummies from ancient tombs arise
Regimented infantry and more oppose them 
Th undead implacably advance 
The Bodurians move swiftly to the river crossings 
Volksima, personification of  Winter advances upon the enemy

Deities face off - Volksima is to be victorious
Cavalry and our Witch command outflank the Undead 
Wolfen Hussars charge home 
Chariots attempt to charge Werewolves 
Too Little, too late
The scenario as I recall required each player moving units off the middle of the opposite long table edge, on a battlefield where all terrain was lethally dangerous.  We agreed the river had to be impassable except at the three fords, marked by the swamp tiles.  As it was all terrain proved to act as if impassable, with the table turning into something akin to a maze instead.  My forces had much the easier time with command rolls, and got the better of most combats, so on this occasion I had a fairly easy victory on my hands.

All good fun though.

That's all for now.
