BONUS DEMO UPDATE

*****

This past weekend I ran my regular Campaign series but at the same time I managed to get a couple of demonstrations run and even a match played for my own enjoyment.

The Demo involved Chen (On the right) a friend of Sen’s one of my regulars and a new guy called Ao who said he had bought a few mini’s to paint. I hope he decided to get into the game itself and join our regular gaming group.

Battle Report
Black Sun verses The Sacred Holy Empire of Abel
150 levels

The Teams:

Black Sun Forces: Promethia, Styx, Type 005 and Raziel Archetypum
Empire Forces: Erika, Lillian, Claire

Setup was pretty straight forward, my half of the table I left nice and clear while placing intervening terrain across the middle to hamper final engagement movement. My opponent chose to keep himself covered as much as possible while I deployed down the center looking to move in any direction.

The match started out interestingly enough though after the first round I realised I had made a mistake choosing the Master Ring rather than say Control Bound the extra Guidance point was a bit overmuch especially as I used gnosis on the first turn to guarantee the Raziel avoided going out of control.

My opponent kept his team close together sweeping to my left to pass through some terrain. I moved my Type 005 to intercept and Styx who was stealth while Raziel moved down the centre..

The following round involved a small brawl. Styx leapt out and savaged Claire while the Type 005 failed a dodge roll and was clobbered by Lillian. Raziel tried to yank Erika through a hedge with his Get Over Here manoeuvre but Erika avoided the effect of the extendable fingers.

Promethia should have been paying more attention as she was taunted by Erika when my attack failed, despite the Berserk counter she did not have a clear line of charge or enough AP so she simply passed the turn.

During the maintenance at the beginning of the following turn I considered my options and decided despite my Raziel and Styx being in range of the death blast from my Type 005 it was too good a chance to take out Claire and Lillian so I added a Gnosis point to the roll, this killed Styx as I rolled a crit but slaughtered my opponents figures as I had hoped.

The final conflict occurred when Raziel drew Erika in close. At this point Promethia was giving out a Guidance point and full AP to the construct, with the +2 reactive bonus to hit from the Necromancer it wasn’t long before Erika fell and the game was over.

Thanks for the demo Raith! Just need to base my figs and I'll be table ready. :P

Raith said:

Don't the Type 005 have Damage Resistance, meaning they can't Dodge?

Also, do you have any plans to run an Anima tournament at the Conquest 2011 games convention?

Shiro_Kuro said:

Yes they normally do but you can pay +10 levels to remove the disadvantage from them which I did for this battle.

As for Conquest, unfortunately it is on over the Easter Weekend and I will be spending time with my Grandparents then.  Sorry.

 Ah, I see - in both cases. Fair enough. ^_^

DEMONSTRATION EVENT #29!
Saturday December 11th
After Action Report

My final demonstration day for the year was a blast a LOT of people turned up to play, try out the game or look an the miniatures on display.

On top of my regular crowd I ran a demonstration for this guy Ivan “The Terrible”

Who I cleaned up in a stunning display of critical’s with Kronnen.

I also met Shiro, who had come up from Hobart to see a concert.

And as the day drew to a close Sen fought a almost identical Church versus Church fight against Ayo from my previous weekends demonstrations. Unfortunately for Ayo he only managed to keep his Samael Agent alive who was unable to effect an Intangible Damien.

While this concludes my Demonstrations for this year Anima has certainly picked up over the course of the year, my won little group has doubled and im hoping it will continue to grow in 2011
