Post subject:  Raggbur and Garmenhord Battle

Ok this post will still get some messages from Raggbur to. He has taken more pictures then me.

My army list:
3 uruk xBows
8 orc spears
8 uruk pikes
14 uruks with shield
1 vakru (or however his name is.. the uruk hero with Xbow)
2 warg riders with shield and spears
1 uruk scout with shield


Raggbur plated Mordor and some Harad guys.

I could start with positioning the troops. Since it was some warband thing they were devided in 12 men in each group. I putted a group with xbows, wargs and shields close to a hill. Didn't expect Raggbur to put his wargs and another group so close to it. I had 2 other groups one on the same side as the hill guys and the other one on the left side of the board (viewed from the hill side).
My first tought went to saving my troops. I managed to get rid of the wargs and bringing my Xbows into saftey.
On the picture u can C my troops holding of the remaining troops of Raggbur. My Xbows moved a bit further so they got clear shots when Raggbur slayed them. I sended my other group to help the ones attacked by the wringwraith. It took them ages to get there. One of the wargs was sent to the objective. I didn't really get everything from the start. So i tought the objective was the most important thing. But there were also points for killing the enemy hero and for breaking an army. I think i would have attacked Raggbur earlier with some of the troops instead of leading most of my troops to the objective and using the other as a meat shield to dellay him.
I dunno if it's needed to go into dettails for everything. In the end we had both of or armies broken. So points for both of us. The warg i sent to the objective in the middle of the battle remained there the whole time and gave me another point. The warg got shot by enemy arrows so i only had an orc spearmen standing there. But because of the courage test he fled and made the game end in a draw.

Wait, give me a sec... Though I did forget to make more pics...

Although I can replace the 'Mordor & Harad Guys' quickly:

Shadow Lord
8x Morannon Orcs

Morannon Orc Capt
3x Warg Riders

Harad Capt on Horseback
8x Watchers of Karna


Should make another note though that neither Me or Garm had a lot of experience with warbands (that's why, for the purpose of the mission -maelstrome of battle thinggy-, we just divided our guys into nice groups of 12).
