Battle reports thick and fast from the sunny south :D

This time I used my Tale of X Gamers force against Justin's Mordor force. Who would win and would I claim maximum points in month two?

Funny typo in the beginning.
I assume you brought your forces and not bought them...
Stupid elves. I wanted mordor to win.

I also wanted mordor to win. But that was a pretty weak force against Mirkwood.

'Here take some shots at the most basic foe you cant fight, elves'

other troops would have done better

Hey guys, don't under estimate the power of basic orcs, if you notice a Lot of them had axes and picks, once I got to the elves - I cut through them and hacked them up with little losses, using special strikes and fury has really turned the Orc into a viable fighting force.

The bow fire is the mirkwood strength - they tore through me and I had to run across the open field as quickly as possible to minimise their impact.

Had this have been a 'to the death' he elves would have lost, hands down, and yes I could have run the 5 knights off, but where's the fun in that "kill elves" is much more fun!

Roll on next month :-)

I have to agree with you on this one Leonardis, I being an elf player always like when elves win but regular orcs now can be a hard force to beat with the heroically channeled might, along with the basic help of axes, it makes the orcs a lot tougher then what they used to be.

Of course he also played the Mirkwood force to it's strength which was the 100% bow limit.

Also I would like to say I'm glad Leonardis played with the spirit of the game in mind, often times in the few times I get a game in with my brother when we play Reconnoiter, we end up forgetting largely about the objective by the end and only try to sneak a few models off while we try to kill each other in the middle, I do think it's a lot more fun that way, even if it's not the "competitive" way to play it.

It was a nice report, though I'm another Orc supporter, and I was confused by the presence of 2 Dark Marshals for several turns.

Lol, I had two drk marshals as I forgot my foot black numenorian model (so we used the dark marshal as a foot model when a morgul horse was killed - oh well, I'll try to remember all the models next time.

Ill post my battle report from the same day - which was against Tom later today/tomorrow :-)
