Turn 7 Lycaon's win Initiative.

Maintenance Phase.

Reduced to 50% of there starting number with another member down the Gentlemen concede the game to the Lycaon's

Lycaon's Win!!

Wow what a game it really turned around on turn 3 the gentlemen's fluffed wound rolls from shooting. Resulting in far to many Lycaon's getting into combat where there superior abilities began to tell after a couple of turns of combat. I think if it of continued they certainly would of broke the Gentlemen in the next turn

The Gentlemen removed from play including the Vice President.

The only two Lycaons Removed.

This guy (Watson miniature but used as a normal member) was suitably heroic and deserving of man of the match. Taking a wolf out with a snap shot and laying about with his sword taking a Wolfskin 'down' and beating the Beastlord in combat causing him to  be Discombobulated. Only to be then taken out by another wolf.

  6. Boo! the Gentlemen were robbed. They should have resorted to throwing some sticks to distract the dogs! Or a couple of cats for the doggies to chase.
