FUBAR Skirmish

FUBAR can also be played with single model units but their numbers should be restricted as they need activation like any Warband in a standard FUBAR game, which means it not a good idea to have more than say, ten members per side.

On this game, Norman tax collectors are being ambushed by some Saxons in the most Robin Hood fashion. Normans are seasoned and have save 4+, except one knight on foot who is veteran and another on horse who is elite, save 3+ and with two command points. The horse cannot enter into the woods.

Saxons are all seasoned with save 6+. 

Saxons activate first and also have +2 on the Activation roll in the first turn as they are ambushing.

Archers wound and even kill some Normans who barely react in the first turn.

Seizing the initiative, the Saxon make numbers against the knight on horse who wounds some of them but he also gets wounded twice and have to spend his two command points to nullify them and survive.

Next turn, and Normans still doing little except for the knight on foot who dispatches two Saxons in the forest. The crossbowman shoots and wounds and archer but then he is overun by enemies. A Norman spear rushes to help his lord but he is slained. Things not looking good for Normans.

The crossbowman and another Norman infantry are down and so are some Saxons, who also have many of them already wounded. Will the Normans be able to escape in the end?

Well, no. The Norman knights cannot no longer resist so many Saxons swarming upon them and they are both killed.

The last two Normans at the back of the convoy try to escape but only one barely escapes to tell the news, with a few Saxon arrows stuck on his chainmail!

As I said, FUBAR is a great ruleset and it has many possibilites. Now I'm thinking on doing some solo skirmish adventures with my Fantasy models.
