Starting Positions & Objectives
The Defenders of the Crown were set up in the top right corner, The Order of the Broken Cross in the bottom right corner, and the Veterans of the Tertios in the bottom left corner.
Everyone’s objective was to exit as many Characters as possible via the yellow exit points as possible, before the cave blew up.
Turn 1
Johann hit Don Quixote with his Freikugel through the breach in the wall, but only caused one damage, asMambrino’s Helmetcaught most of the damage and shattered, savon Don from much harm.
Eisenhans charged in as well, fighting Don Quixote, and managed to cause another four wounds on him.
Turn 2
The Dragoon took a quick shot at Don Quixote with a partial action. He drew a Skulls Eight from the deck, landing a headshot which outright killed Don Quixote; then retreated from the board with his second partial action.
Johann tried to uncover Sancho Panza, but even with a two cards boost just fell short.
The Knecht on overwatch fired on Wołodyjowski who charged towards him, and caused two wounds.
Greedy, Longinus ignored the looming danger of the cave being blown up, and ran towards the box in the corner to get some loot; but he tripped and fell prone.
Wołodyjowski attacked the Knecht and quickly cut him down, a lowly commoner being no match for the world’s best fencer!
Turn 3
More Characters left the board, the rest convened towards the center - except Longinus.
Eisenhans won close combat against the Dragoon, who had to retreat.
Friedrich caused three wounds on the Hidalgo, who had to retreat as well.
Turn 4
Eisenhans blocked two exits, preventing the Hidalgo from fleeing, but being trapped himself. Johann blocked the Dragoon from exiting, but also was not able to exit himself.
