The game was the 'A Bold Prince' scenario taken from the book 'The Fourth Succession War Scenarios Volume One' published by FASA in 1989. This involved an attack by the 2nd battalion of the 11th Legion of Vega (Kuritan) against the 3rd Battalion (Grave Diggers) of the 13th Assault Regiment (Steiner) on the planet Marfik on 27/08/3028. The terrain was rolling hills and light woods with one major and a couple of minor rivers. 'Historically' the Legion won, but who can resist a chance to change history?
With Steiner AFV's (45 Tanks) versus mainly Kuritan Mechs (40 Battlemechs + support AFV's and Infantry), we played 7 turns and nearly got it to a conclusion, another turn or two would have confirmed the outcome, but despite a valiant effort by the tanks of House Steiner the Kuritan mechs had secured at least a minor victory.
All in all, a fun game and we’ll be returning to this system again in the future. All players welcome for future games at the UWS.
Some photos and observations from the Editor.
Battle mechs stream across the countryside.
The view from the back of the Steiner lines. Those colorful mechs look quite ominous to me.
General Mulholland realises he has pushed his AFVs too far ahead and bravely turn his tail and flees from the nasty Mechs.
