Round 3 annnnnnnnnd Fight!

Things with the new puppy have absorbed a good bit more time that anticipated.  So the pre/post game write up will be all done here.

This round I was to play against a demon player.  We were doing a modified battle for the pass and the board had a river running long ways down the middle.

His forces were approximately

Lord of Change
2 X Tzeentch Heralds with Death
Large block of horrors
5 Screamers
2 groups of Flamers
Soul Grinder
Block of bloodletters.

My force was
Lord
w/Sword of Swift Slaying, Shield, Cuirass of Fortune, Luckstone, Gauntlet of the Duel, Virtue of Heroism

Prophetess
w/ Lvl 4, Prayer Icon of Quenelles, Dragonbane Gem (Heavens)

Paladin
w/ Bsb, Sword of Might, Gromril Great Helm

Paladin
w/ Shield, Morning Star, Dragonhelm, Ruby Goblet, Virtue of Empathy

12 Knights of the Realm
w/ Full Command, Standard of Discipline

12 Knights of the Realm
w/ Full Command, Banner of Swiftness

2 X 49 Men at Arms
w/ Full Command

2 X 10 Bowmen
w/ Braziers, Musician

10 Skirmishing Bowmen
w/ Braziers, Musician

3 Pegasus Knights
w/ Musician

2 X Field Trebuchet

So,  I wanted to test out the Paladin on foot in this game but the main reason I brought him was the Ruby Goblet which did a whole lot of nothing this game.  It makes the best you can be wounded on a 3+ after the first wound suffered.  The down side being it only works against non-magic sources.

In the campaign we were fighting over one of his mines for retaliation for taking one of my mines due to an event he rolled. 

I managed to all but table him in this game.  I did get lucky with him not rolling great on the winds of magic and my ability to close very quickly on his forces.  Being cavalry with static combat resolution really helped out against the soul grinder since my lord wasn't able to heroic killing blow it.

I need to get my butt in gear and start getting some battle reports up, but I am still debating on what format I wish to use.

We still need to roll the D6 to see if I capture his mine along with my spoils and his defeat roll. So hopefully I'll get some nifty upgrades here shortly.

  1. After campaign night all the after battle rolls are complete.

    I captured his mine and his general(huzzah)! Then I upgraded my Men at Arms to a regiment of renown "The Butchers" with a razor standard. This works out nicely as that banner will be facing Warriors of Chaos this round.
