Pirates of the Caribbean- Song of Blades and Heroes Battle

A quick report from a four-way "steal the treasure" scenario. The objective was to capture the treasure (located in the middle of the pond at the center of the battlefield) and carry it back to the army's corner.

Special rules:
-One action to pick up the treasure.
-The figure carrying the treasure may only make short moves.
-If an enemy moves into base contact with the figure carrying the treasure (s)he drops the treasure.

The armies:
-Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, Gibbs,  Ragetti, Pintel, Marty (352)
-Davey Jones, 4x Dutchman crewmen (361)
-Norrington, Governor Swann, 7x British soldiers (350)
-Skeleton Hero, 2x Skeleton Archer, Zombie, 8x Skeleton Warrior (360)

The Game
The armies begin in their respective corners.

 Norrington, Davey Jones, The Skeleton Hero, and Jack Sparrow converge upon the pond where the treasure waits.
 The Skeleton Hero takes the treasure and makes a run for his corner, pursued by Davey Jones, two members of the Dutchman crew, and Jack Sparrow.
 Away from the treasure, Elizabeth, Gibbs, and Ragetti take out a British soldier, clearing the way for Will Turner to move to assist Jack.
 Jack Sparrow takes the treasure and makes a run for his corner, with the Skeleton Hero, Davey Jones, and a British soldier giving chase. Elizabeth falls fighting the Skeleton Hero. Will arrives too late to save Elizabeth, but slays the Skeleton Hero.
 Davey Jones cuts off Jack before he can reach his corner. A protracted battle ensues.
 When Jack Sparrow is slain, the ensuing morale tests decimate his army, leaving only Will Turner.
 As Redcoats fall, another morale test leaves Norrington's Brits with only one man remaining. Meanwhile, Davey Jones nabs the treasure and makes a break for his corner on the far side of the battlefield, where a few skeleton warriors lie in wait.
 The remaining warriors battle as the Dutchman army tries to make away with the treasure.
 Davey Jones falls to the combined attacks of the last remaining Redcoat and a skeleton archer. His final crewman falls shortly thereafter.
 The last remaining Redcoat puts up a fight, but falls to the remaining skeletons, who make of with the treasure.
