So, how’s it going?
So, Messers Greifswald & Schleck
Proprietors are 9 campaign scenarios
and 3 side-battles in, and things
don’t look too grand... For one, the
company should now be called
Schleck Proprietors, since the entire
Greifswald line has ended.
From my original warband, I have
lost all but one starting character
including a lad with talent from
game 2, Gaert. All except Gottfried
Schleck, the wily weasel. His leadership
(of 7, making route tests difficult)
has seen the warband limp
from battle to battle.
But things were starting to look up.
While Jamie and I were only winning
the odd game here or there, I
had stopped losing characters, and
spending all my earnings trying to
bring them back. I had an ogre, who
died in his first battle, and I hired
the flamboyant Luca Dondalo, duelist
supreme of Tilea, who died in
his first battle, his death however
served a purpose, slaying the foul
goat beast that killed Otto. I have
since hired a wizard, and Gotfried
Schleck has forbidden anyone
to discuss the fate of other hired
swords. Then in the recent game
I had three characters all suffer injuries
that cause them to miss the
next game (or three).
So the Greifswald line has ended,
Gotfried Schleck has taken control
of the business and made a
few changes. He has promoted
Dubrek to the position of champion
and hired some swordsmen,
going for quality over quantity. I’ve
found swordsmen to be worth their
weight, re-roll attacks on the charge
is handy, double parry with sword
and buckler helps keep them alive a
little longer and they have received
a WS and Attack upgrade, taking
them to WS5. To top it all off, one of
their number has been recognised
for his prowess and become a hero.
So Mathias the Broad Swordsman
joins the board of directors at Greifswald
and Schleck Proprietors. I’m
hoping Mathias will build up his skills
in the combat sphere with a view
to creating a strong and dynamic
young swordsman.
So after Scenario 9, the warband
now looks like this:
Gotfried Schleck Champion
Dubrek Champion on Crutches
Mathias The Broad Swordsman -
Up-and-coming hero
Millie Starker Youngblood
Ulf Froschstock
Dubrek’s Sureshots - 2 Marksmen
Greifswald Houseguard - 2 warriors
Parry Brothers - 2 swordsmen
Zorn Night-Wing - Wizard
Gryph (Wardog)
