Battle Brothers -- bloody addictive game
- Thread starter Rico

Our intrepid peasants are looking a little worse for wear after the first two missions... and we had a pack of 6 Direwolves chase us all the way back to Kargau where we collected out fee and licked our wounds.
(and we finally found a bow!!) -- things looking up. Maybe.

One thing I have noticed about playing the peasants before ... they never complain about the food. ;-)
7 days game time in (or I think of it at least weeks), and the ragged band of plough-pushers and dirt tillers are starting to shape up (only 9 survivors of the original bunch, but that's not too bad considering) ... and Tomaso the Tailor is starting to look the part of the proper mercenary with 4 battles and 7 kills under his belt 
Haven't had to do any dodgy saving yet ... combat lever is set at Veteran.

Don’t you mean gettin’ gud..
Day 11 game time ... we've had our first mountain battle against bandit thugs and raided an ill-defended bandit camp which scored us a bit of kit.
Then we got jumped by some Barbarians and their wardogs in the hills ... the gods of the random battle maps was kind to us... we got a pretty good defensible position.
Although, our best pitchfork guy, Bjarne the Boorish made the ultimate sacrifice... his rough and rude manners and bawdy jokes around the campfire will never be forgotten.
...and Ingolf the Irrate got some cool, new headgear to wear into battle.

Nothing accessorizes a spear and shield like bear skull head kit...just saying...
He needs to be careful, he can't turn his back on a bear or he may have a "Revenant" moment...

The campaign has been ticking over and it's been the hard knocks school of Battle Brothers mercenary life for the Quarantine Brothers
121 Campaign days in and the motley band is reasonably well equipped with the gleam of chain mail and proper helmets now predominating.
Alas, it's been brutal and tough going... 22 brothers have paid the ultimate price so far.
"Split in two by The Scourge of Reusdorf" is one of my favourite lines to come out of this game so far. (he was a mean SOB bandit leader we had to take down)
Only FIVE of the original band of 12 peasants are still standing...
Alwin the Ox ... our stalwart standard bearer.
Eberold the Eager... our veteran pikeman and main war dog handler
Adelmar the Angry ... the only survivor of the original front row battle line
Roberto The Red ... our main archer (saving up to get him a proper war bow as soon as we can)
Mattis the Militiaman ... who started out as a front row "arrow catcher", but now is #2 archer.
Next, we are journeying back down south to trade in those furs for some coinage to add to the "war bow fund" ... the Undead Scourge is upon the land and the place is swarming with ancient legionaries and wiedergangers... dangerous times indeed! We should've stayed home!

I have put 271 hours into this game now and I have never had a war bow yet. Haven't seen Lindworm either.
Looks like you are mainly taking on humans opponents based on your obituary. Is that the map or just the way you are tackling the game?

Partly the map and partly tactics -- my guys still a little light in the sandals, so been avoiding any large creature fights -- mostly undead at the moment ... been tangling with goblins and the odd orc group -- quite a few barbarian fights.
Most Undead groups too heavy with ancient legionaries and honour guards ... so been doing a lot of running... er, tactical regroupings...
Woohoo -- it's been a tough time of scrounging and clawing together the coinage... but #1 archer Roberto The Red finally has his war bow ... and some nifty legendary leather & mail armour taken off a bandit chief.
Hey, sounds like a reason for your merry men to hit the tavern to binge on mead and wenches...
Done ... the off to fight Orcs with a hangover ... not a good idea on the best of days
Next to his shield. Toilet paper?
Wellson Son of Wellson could have used those bandages!
Son of Wellson or war bow? Decisions, decisions...
Nice try, it's obvious Roberto the Red has been panic buying
I know ... there was a shortage ... because, panic buying.
After all these years my humor still remains unappreciated.
