Flint and Feather Playtest

The Attacker closes the gap while the Defender bunches up. We concluded Campaign Turn #7 this past week.We had a Patrol scenario game. We tweaked the scenario in a few ways to get the proper feel for a Patrol. In this scenario the defender starts on the board with one group and brings the rest of his troops on the board once the attacker is spotted. The attacker for his part starts off the table and enters turn #1. The Defender must move through three patrol points in order to win the scenario.

This has never happened before so we needed to work out the effects of it in the Camp...
