WOTR 1000pt Angmar vs Isengard Maelstrom/Seize the Prize

We gave the combination of Maelstrom (which I do not usually like) and Seize the prize a go a couple of weeks ago. This will be round one of our one day charity event @ Tempest later this month. I figure that this is a combination to wake us up on a Saturday morning! I just hope the deployment zones do not get flooded with Moria Goblins.

I think it works well and I like Maelstrom much better for this particular victory condition.

Thanks for reading.

Very nice battle report... I loved that Angmar won in the last turn...

Explains why Saruman was so hell bent on chasing them up into the cold, frozen, north, eh?

Thanks Hilbert, the game was very close and Berserkers vs Uruks in defensible terrain is a combat that on average I should lose. So I was lucky to win that and get the fifth objective, at the death.

(edit: No typing before coffee, it should be a rule.)

Ordinarily, I don't find luck to be a decider but I think that my opponent did everything right (not that I feel I did anything wrong, aside from being too rash with Buhrdur) and I am amused that I still got to, narrowly, beat him.

In the context of a three round mini-comp, I am going to have to think about how to relatively weigh the primary (prize tokens) and secondary (VPs) objectives for the overall result. I think I was ahead on VPs there (NRBH) but it is close - he lost more coys and a couple of captains but I lost a VH2K hero-monster and a fair few guys too.
