Last night, I hosted a Wars of Ozz game. \u00a0The game involved three 20-point Munchkin brigades attacking two 25-point Gillikin brigades. \u00a0The Gillikins were defending a village that the Munchkins sought to capture. We had two guys who were familiar with the rules, and one newcomer who quickly grasped the rules. \u00a0We played four turns. \u00a0We probably needed a fifth turn to come to a conclusion, but the consensus was that the Munchkins would have captured the town.<\/p>\n

The center Munchkin brigade in its starting location. It consisted of Zoraster’s Guard, Sourdough’s regiment, a Landwehr regiment, and a medium artillery battery.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Munchkin cavalry brigade on their right: two heavy regiments, one light regiment, and a light gun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My two Gillikin cavalry regiments had early success pummeling a Munchkin Landwehr regiment, but then the tigers and Munchkin infantry mopped them up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
While the tigers had little hope of closing with my Gillikin cavalry, since both units were badly mauled, their charge against my cavalry was enough to rout the goat riders from the table.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Gillikin infantry holding the town got involved in a firefight with a unit of Munchkin infantry. Despite the cover of the town, the Gillikins didn’t do well in the firefight. In the bottom right, you can see one of my Gillikin infantry units moving up to support the town.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Munchkins brought up a batter and a second unit of infantry. The Gillikins decided to defend inside the town to avoid being cut down by Munchkin musketry. My infantry unit on the right and my cannon were able to knock out a base of Munchkin infantry, but when the infantry later charged, they were smashed by the Munchkins.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Initial dispositions of the Gillikins on our left. Wayne was quite aggressive with his goat cavalry while his musketeers and bowmen kept plinking away at the Munchkin cavalry.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The fight on the Munchkin right heats up. By the end of the game, all three Munchkin cavalry regiments had routed thanks to aggressive cavalry action by the Gillikins on goats and the support of the Gillikin infantry in the woods.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As I said, the consensus was that the game would have been a Munchkin victory if we had been able to play one more turn, but it was a “school night,” and we quit about 2200. \u00a0The game was fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
