Thanks, the scenario sort of came up as I was going setting up my stuff. At first I wanted to play Mishima, then I needed an opponent. Friends on Facebook recommended the usual suspects (Capital, Bauhaus, etc), and I decided to try out my painted but never played Illian stuff. While building up the Illian forcelist I came up with the scenario and while putting together the scenario and playing the game, the story sort of unfolded.
Things got a little crazy in the end when casualties were mounting. I actually had 2 units break and run. A pair of Ashigaru that finally gave up the fight and ran off the board (even after standing up to 2 Mercuring Maculators and taking one down!) and a lone Child of Illian that ran comically across the battlefield and across the bridge right past the advancing Crimson Devils. The Illian Dark Gifts of Dark Lightning was pretty devastating and the Void Gate was especially nasty (I use that , aka Warp Gate, a lot when playing Koralon with Urban War / Metropolis).
While setting up the battlefield I realized I needed a river. As I was playing solo I figured I could wing it for now. I did stop by my local FLGS only to find the Pegasus Hobbies stuff (which I found to be rather poorly done, and probably wouldn't look much better if I repainted it, and the JR Miniatures stuff she had was all for 15mm (watch the Razide jump over the creek!). However this weekend, while I had the cars out of the garage and table and scroll saws out to help CdtKiley with her school project, I cut up some MDF board to make some modular river sections.
