This is my first battle report on here. Constructive criticism is welcome, and I am considering pure write-ups without pictures backing me up. Also, I am terribly sorry if all these pic's are stretching the page, I don't know how to shrink Vassal images. If you do, tell me and I'll edit it. -.-
So, I recently played a game of Vassal and thought I'd mention the game. It was a tough game of 25 points where I played Grim Angus, Trollbloods (using the PDF) and my opponent played Jeremiah Kraye, Cygnar. All the models in the images that don't have anything on the base represents where some guys died that turn.

The lists were as follows:
Trollbloods (me):
Grim Angus (-6)
- Earthborn Dire Troll (10)
- Slag Troll (6)
- Troll Impaler (5)
10x Fennblades (8)
1x Stone Scribe Chronicler (2)
Cygnar (my opponent, can't remember his username):
Jeremiah Kraye (-6)
- Stormclad (10)
- Hammersmith (8)
- Hunter (6)
6x Stormblades (5)
Arlan Strangewayes (2)

Deployment
I won the roll and decided to go first and take the bottom area. Here is the deployment:

As you can tell, it is also a custom map. I made it in my spare time a couple of weeks ago. First time it saw action. The lake in the centre is shallow water, the trees beside it forest terrain, the logs linear obstacles and the rocks on the sides (impassable) obstructions. The hills also block LOS to medium bases. So, basically, you have to deploy in the centre, outside the rocks are outside the (rectangular) table.

Turn One
http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo170/ippie/WarmachineHordesMKIIMap1.png
Trolls: I cast Cross Country on my Impaler and Slag Trolls, advance my warbeasts and cast Transmute on the models with the yellow auras (Impaler and Grim), then I riled my Earthborn once. I then continued to activate my Fennblades, who simply ran up, followed by the Chronicler who read the story "Tale of Mist," giving all the Fenns concealment. I then ended my turn.
Cygnar: (I don't remember the order, but: ) he allocated 2 focus to the Hunter, casted Full Tilt on the models with Green auras, and then moved up Kraye, out of range of all my Fenns (not to mention out of LOS). The Hammersmith then got some Focus from Arlan Strangewayes, who advanced, and the Stormclad got some Focus from the Stormblades, who ran. My oppoent forgot about the Stormclad's ranged attack and decided to run him, without going his full distance (he would've ended up out of Control Range then) He then ran the Hammersmith his full 16" to my Fenns, hardly engaging one of them. After that (this part was frustrating), his Hunter advanced, made a boosted attack to my Chronicler (yes, the chronicler, the guy at the back), rolled outrageously, hitting him even with all that screening mumbo-jumbo and I fail my tough roll. He then ended his turn.

Turn Two
http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo170/ippie/WarmachineHordesMKIIMap2.png
(Just noticed something: the Focus amount on the Hammersmith should be 0, not 1)
Trolls: Upkept both Cross-country's. Grim made an aiming shot against the Stormclad (unboosted), rolled horribly, but still hit (yay for RAT 9), then boosted damage, where he rolled crazily. Grim then cast Far Strike on the Slag. The Slag Troll then followed up and made his ROF 2 attacks against the Stormclad, and rolled outrageously again on both his rolls and totalled it (yeah, just like that). The Impaler then advanced and made a boosted shot against the middle Stormblade, got a critical, and two Stormblades died by collateral damage. The Fennblades then attacked the Hammersmith, all hitting, but all only doing a total damage of 2 (pathetic rolls). The Earthborn then ran up to where he is in the picture and riled once.
Cygnar: He didn't bother upkeeping and skipped straight to the chase (can't remember how much Focus he allocated to what, either). The Stormblades charged my Impaler, only two reached him, one rolled double ones, the other hit and did a stupid amount of damage, doing 15 damage. Arlan then sneaked into the trees, trying to stay away from contact, but couldn't give the Hammersmith Focus. The Hammersmith then continued to pound my Fennblades, I only passed one Tough roll. The Hunter then shot over the lake, hit one of my Fenns and my passed his Tough roll. He then continued to pound me with Kraye's gun, all Tough rolls passed. He ended his turn.

Final Turn - Turn Three

Alas, the game had to end.
Trolls: Grim Angus upkeeps Cross-country only on the Slag, activates first thing, then advances, pops his feat, with Kraye in his control area, shoots him with Headhunter, dealing 5 damage and affecting Kraye with Bait the Line. The Earthborn then activated. Pathfinder + Bait the Line + 2" movement for rough terrain (Elemental Communion) + 3" for charge + 12 STR + Adaption (meaning +7 POW) = dead Jeremiah Kraye.

It was a good, and very fun game. Hope to do something like that again.
Cheers.
