Dragon Rampant Campaign - The Valley of Jeff - Game Four

Fleeing back down through the Uppar Hills Gruzzkupp's once proud invasion force turn to make a stand against the invigorated Dwarfs.

A simple Bloodbath game with the Dwarf force as the attackers.

Here's a video version

Here's the analogue version

Angry Oakenfinger Clan

The field of war

Orcs in fine array

The Orcis Wizard pushed up, sending some of the more ferocious lads on ahead.

Whilst Gruizzkupp's bodyguard set about stalking their opposite numbers

More fearsome boys stormed up a hill intent on feasting on goat-meat

The Pig Riding lads spied some bears. In the woods. Where else?

the Dwarf advance was more circumspect.

Dragon's Breath enveloped the Orcs protecting them from the crossbows.

The Black Orcs taunted their foe

The first Orc charge failed to much dent the Dwarf elite.

So the Black Orcs closed the ground.

The other Boys managed to scrag a couple of Goat riders

The Boars faced off against the bears.

The Dwarfs had cleared out the first Orc threat.

The face-off continued

The Bears charged and the Orcs countercharged!

The fight went in the favour of the Bears but they then failed their courage test and ran back to...you guessed it...the woods.

The Black Orcs fell on the Dwarf hearthguard.

Bagpipe Toting Dwarfs pushed up.

The Goats were being whittled away but the Orcs couldn't bring them to ground.

The Hearthguard were pushed back by rampaging Black Orcs.

The Boar Riders changed tack and fell on the Dwarfs

Forcing them back.

The Orc wizard spent his time trying, and frequently failing, to enhance the Black Orcs.

The battered Dwarfs somehow failed to respond to the rallying cry of the bagpipes.

The Black Orcs cut down the Hearthguard and then charged in to the crossbows.

However the Bears arrived to cut down the wizard and despite the Black Orcs finally catching the last of the Goat Riders, night fell with the Dwarfs in control of the battlefield.

Another grand game of Dragon Rampant. i did *somewhat* hamper the Orc cause by failing to remember that DR now uses 30 point warbands and only taking a 24 point force!

Next battle sees us back at the river as the Dwarfs seek to push the Orcs completely from their territory!
