So I tried playing my carnivores against each other this evening. Instead of putting down two herbivore, two carnivore I instead decided to go with predictably four carnivore feeding points. The objectives were ‘Infiltrate’ which meant getting half your force into your opponents deployment zone, ‘Destruction’ which means wiping out half of your opponents force, and both unique objectives rolled for were ‘Assassinate’ which meant killing your opponents highest pointed dinosaur. Below you can see the two forces after deployment, Carnotaurus, Spinosaurus, Allosaurus and Utahraptor, take on another Allosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Dilophosaurs and T-Rex.
At the end of turn one most dinosaurs have advanced, and due to Allosaurus’ speed he was able to close the distance on Giganotosaurus, but unfortunately did no damage.
Allosaurus decided then to not pick on someone his own side and piled in to Dilophosaurus, taking the smaller dino out with one attack, and combined with Utahraptor’s speed managed to fulfil the infiltrate objective.
At the opposite end of the table, Giganotosaurus and T-Rex are giving Spinosaurus a tough time and also managing to score themselves the Infiltrate objective.
Spinosaurus turned and struck at Gigonotosaurus’ flank, but failed to land a killing blow.
With Spinosaurus distracted, T-Rex looped round and knocked Spinosaurus to the ground.
Allowing Giganotosaurus to move in for the kill.
This scored the assassinate objective for the Giganotosaurus’ side, enabling Allosaurus to charge Carnotaurus on the flank and win the game having wiped out half of the opposing force.
Above is the table at the end of the game. This game was very fast, carnivores are generally faster and not as tough at herbivores meaning the game was quick and bloody, I can’t imagine the opposite would work very well.
