SAGA Age of Magic December 2020 Christmas game
I have not been providing may AAR as I simply have not had the time, it comes down to prep and play games or write AAR, not usually time for both . So here is a very late AAR.
Shortly before the latest lock-down was imposed I got a chance to play a SAGA Age of Magic game along with a Festive Indian meal, all with social distancing and masks at my local games club on Friday December 18,2020. This time I tried out the Lords of the Wild Board using my Wood Elves.

This game was held on the main level of the building my club uses which as
incandescent chandelier light that resulted in everything taking on a brownish
hue. We normally game in the lower level which has fluorescent lights that
seem to create a truer representation of the colours.

We rolled for the scenario which was Clash of Warlords (basically kill the other sides leader). The terrain and deployment were also determined by a dice roll.
Rosters:
Wood Elves Warband (Lords of the Wild Board):
1 x Warlord on foot 0 points
4 x Warrior bow units = 32 figures, 4 units of: 10,10,8, 4 4 points
3 x. Hearhguard (HG) 12 figures -2 = 10 (2 units of 5) 3 points
1 x Paladin / Ranger -2 HG
1 x Monster, Scourge Green Dragon 1 point
Total 8 points
8 SAGA dice
My Green dragon who is represented as a Scourge in SAGA AoM, meaning he can fly and has a breath attack.

I don't have the full Roster for my opponent army, but Sean's army was a hoard Army made up of some well painted Chaos Beastmen.

I will let the pictures tell the remainder of the story with minimal comments.
The forces involved are shown below.

| Turn 1 |

| Turn 2 |
 |
| Turn 3 |
My wood elf archers had been wearing down the Chaos Monster / Behemoth since
turn 1 with their archery, and finally kill it on turn 3 as it tries to flee
by pursuing it and sending in another volley of arrows.

The pictures below are Shawn's his camera was better able to filter out the brownish tinge of the lighting caused by the incandescent lights.

Conclusion
It was a close battle, but the slaying of the Minotaur ensured the Wood Elf Victory. The Wood Elves also made good use of their ambush abilities. It was great getting together with Shawn and other members of the club, and it was yet another enjoyable game of SAGA AoM.
