Another of our irregular games with my friend and his son. Not So Young N is now quite the expert on the rules with a lovely scenery collection too. I fear we have moved on from the original purpose of us giving him a chance to play the game to him indulging his father and I with a chance to natter and drink coffee whilst he canters to an easy victory. Either way its a fun few hours of rolling dice.
The Easterlings were out in force
I'd taken Wargs and Orcs. And Orcs ON Wargs.
The Easterling cavalry went after the Gondorians
My cavalry raced through the ruins
Before bumping in to some rather tough opposition.
As the Gondorians, showing a firmer grasp of tactics and the rules in general, formed a shieldwall
The Orcs were struggling to keep up. Combined arms you say? Never heard of it mate.
The heavily armoured troops meanwhile were grinding each other down.
A bold charge by the Warg riders
The Easterlings were beating the other Orcs
The remaining Orc fooot had also been wiped out, with just the Shaman leading an...ahem..."charmed" life
The Wargs unsurprisingly came off worst
The Orcs dead and my courage tests wreaking havoc the Easterlings began a march toward the Gondorians.
The Shaman ran off and tried some magic. Which didn't work.
The Easterlings were milling about.
Eventually the clash came and despite the Dragon knight wreaking havoc the Easterlings were running out of men.
The other Gondorian forces began to close the trap
Soon after this Courage tests and a few more casualties saw the Easterlings too flee the table and Gondor was triumphant!
