Uncharted Seas Rise again

In our current warmachine craze Fer and I have forgot about uncharted seas. This is a fine game by Spartan Games with wacky magic and really fun mechanics in which you run into each other. This is a 700 point game. I am playing the Dragonlords (painted green and brown) and Fer is the Thranis Elves (grey and blue). We are both the speedy races so our games are usually quite mobile. I ended up winning this one, though I think it was largely  because Fer allowed me to field two large ships at that point level.

Also I just got the newest game in from spartan games (thank you from Uncle Louie and Pop). This runs on the same system as Uncharted but is steam punk. The starter box set runs 55 dollars but comes with 4 sheets of templates, stat cards, and 15 models plus 10 resin fighter tokens. The detail on these are just amazing and individual rivets can be seen. Pics will be up of the first game I play or when I get them painted.

Opening Moves

The elves dragons (known as Super Mega Chicken and Blue) have taken some damage show by the red dice

The Elven battle ship and unpainted Dragonlord Flagship exchange fire

Dragon lords open fire screened by their own frigates. The mages aboard one of the capital ships casts a spell (the card on the table). 

The Elven dragons and battleship put quite a beating on the Dragonlord Flagship. Note the two dice on the center of the ship red for hull damage and purple for loss of crew. 

The battle from the perspective of the Dragonlord dragon carrier.

The back to back maneuverer of mine was a poor choice as Fer rakes two of my large ships in one turn. 

The ships are intertwined towards the end of the battle we managed to play this one without a single accidental collision and all time record for us.
