Topic: Battle Report Complete :D

Hi, this is a two part BR since we have paused the game (we had only one hour) soon we'll finish.

We used GW Rohan (I) and Isegard, stats made by I, hexless rules.

Rohan have two captains, 3 units of 3 element of riders of rohan (one with banner) and Threebeard.

Isengard have only one commander, 1 unit of 5 Uruk pikemen (banner), 1 unit of 4 uruk warrior (veteran), 2 units of 4 Dunland warrior (both banner).

Deploy:

TURN 1

My captains allow me a grand-total of 4d6, Uruk only 1d10. I get 16 point, Uruk 9.

Both army go ahed, dunlandling take the hill on left, rider on right starts the longest flank attack in the history. Dunlendings see worried che riders that prepare themself for charging...

At the end of turn 1:

TURNO 2

Another 16 point for me and only 7 for the Uruk. My opponent cry "I'm a BLEEPing sitting duck" for my amusement  :twisted:

Riders on left charge the dunlendings, combats are vicious with an element loss per side. Blood continue to flood until only one rider and one dunlending remain on the flank, but uruk warrior manage a flank attack killing the last rider  sad

Meanwhile the flank manouver on the right come to an end, and Riders charge the Dunlendings in the right, aided by the second in command:

One dunlending element is throw out, but nothing more sad

You may ask what happened in the center...

Ok, I should charge... but who lend me the courage?

Re: Battle Report Complete :D

And this is how the battle ends...

TURN 3

Dice are rolled, I get 13 point, Uruk 7, Again I'll start.

Riders on right flank attack, in a vortex of sword, lance and hooves the dunlendings were wiped out... Take this long beard!!  tongue  I reorganize in a column to flank again.

Uruk pikemen grimly advance toward the center, they not arrive to charge my riders but it's a matter of time...

<IMG src="http://www.gioconomicon.net/repositorio/dopocarica.jpg">http://www.gioconomicon.net/repositorio/dopocarica.jpg</IMG>

Since charging is better than be charged my bannered riders clash versus the Uruk pikemen.

Not a very good idea indeed...  :oops:

<IMG src="http://www.gioconomicon.net/repositorio/risultatocontrolelance.jpg">http://www.gioconomicon.net/repositorio/risultatocontrolelance.jpg</IMG>

Meanwhile uruk on left reform in a column, and go for the battle... or maybe to evade the Ent?

<IMG src="http://www.gioconomicon.net/repositorio/lagrandefuga.jpg">http://www.gioconomicon.net/repositorio/lagrandefuga.jpg</IMG>

Veteran Uruk run for they're lives, outrun the ent but left the flank for the riders, who come for a glorius charge.

A the end of turn 3 this is the situation... not very cheery for rohan, but maybe with a good impact on the evil minion of Saruman...

TURN 4

Sadly the photocamera switch out, but the turn is a short and bloody affair...

10 point round for the Lord of Uruk, I get 15.

Of course I'll charge the flank of the Uruk... BOOOING!! Not even an element of Uruk die, so the response is brutal, one rider die and another flee... bad time for me.

Crying for happyness the Captain of Uruk order to finish the rohirrim, order prompty done by the evil guy... after this they reform to face may lonely captain.

He overhelmed by sorrow charge, willing to die but ready to take some with him... In effect he died orribly, but at least kill an element of Uruk.

Seeing the defeat I'll declare a general flee, the Uruk win the day and the banner of rohan lie under they're foot...

Re: Battle Report Complete :D

Can we get the stats for the units? We toyed with doing the LoTR stats, but never got too far I don't think.

I am really liking the pictures too!

yay!

Re: Battle Report Complete :D

I didnt realise the game can be played non-hex!  Any advice on how to do so ?

I've only looked at the rules quicky, they look good but not many players to be found sad

Re: Battle Report Complete :D

There are many ways the game can be played, believe me. I'll put up my Lake Peipus scenario later.

Re: Battle Report Complete :D

Thanks for the report, and please share any hints and tips for playing 'hexless'  big_smile

Are those infantry 4 and 5 element units ?

Re: Battle Report Complete :D

I'm sorry, I was out for a while and did'nt see this  :oops:

To make a long story short, take the rules and wheter you see 1 hex read 1 inch.

There is much more to say, but this is the very basics, I wish to make a 3d to talk about a full hexless way to play.
