A Lilly Pad Too Far

A long shot of the table

At Cold Wars 2018 in Lancaster, PA, last weekend, Chris Palmer and I ran a GASLIGHT game involving giant anthropomorphic frogs.  We haven’t had the frogs on the table in a couple of years.

Early in the game as the North Americans begin to deploy from their line of march

The game was pretty fun.  The scenario is from The GASLIGHT Compendium.  The North American frogs are part of the advance guard for a frog column.  The South American frogs are trying to cut off their line of march.

The North American frogs quickly deployed from their march formation to engage the South Americans.

The South American frogs advanced on both flanks, enjoying success in both attacks.

The North American right flank held on and began to advance, but the dragon flies moved to a blocking position and determined to hold their portion of the road.

The South Americans were crushing the North American left flank, preparing to cut the road.  They also had the dragon flies across the road.  At that point, we called the game a South American victory.
