Probably all of you counted the days when will Bastion write his next report. The time has come, here I am again.
Today I had 2 match. One with the Lex's father and one with Garmenhord.
Lex brought his gondorian army with a lot of rangers, mt warriors, archers, mt captain and Saruman. I brought black guards, morannon orcs, orcs and Gothmog. We played a 600 points Contest of champions game.
The terrian had swamps, hills, forest, so it was a crowded hard terrian. I put up my army first in 3 big groups. It was really hard to move my orcs cross these terrian elements. I had a lot of casulties because of Saruman's jedi power and the archers.
After a while I decided to not take more casulties cause of those stupid bows, so I moved into the forest with on of my team with Gothmog.
Because of a mass orc horde comed, Lex moved his mt warriors to right side to protect that old b@st@rd, Saruman. It wasnt a problem anyway for him, cause the rangers shot all of my orcs at that side except 2 of them.
This battle was taking for a while, but after that half of army was lost, I had to make the courage test. I failed a lot.
Gothmog fought like the last samurai, he didnt care about Saruman's magic, he always won the fights. But of course one hero cant win a war, so he surrended himself.
The good side won.
It was an exciting, but hopeless game for me. I did one wound to Saruman, yee
. Probably I should move my army more in one huge horde, but it was difficult to manage, cause of the terrian. I think that was a problem, that we didnt agree in a time limit, we just played. It doesent matter, cause Saruman killed about 13-14 orcs, and Gothmog just 4-5. I learned a lot, next time I will show the true power of Sauron to the humans.
_________________________________________________________________________________
I build a nice snow terrian for the next game, it was very good looking. The enemy was Isengard: shielded uruks, pikes, 3 crossbows, 2 wargs Saruman and Gríma. Mordor sent black guards, morannons, orcs, wargs, troll and a black guard captain. This was a 700 points kill them all game.
I placed my army first again. 4 main infantiry formations, 2 warg teams for the two side of the boards. Garmenhord build one big formation, and a really small ward with 3 crossbows, 3 uruk and 2 wargs. He put Gríma behind my lines close to my troll.
Gríma couldnt do anything all the time, cause my orc didnt let him to go anywhere. I always charged him. This was very funy. Saruman controlled the troll very well, most of the time he didnt let it to do what it wants. It wasnt a problem, cause my troll with D7 is very massive, it just got one wound during the entire game.
I attacked the uruk outpost with troops and wargs also, and I completly removed them during 3-4 turns.
In the same time the battle continued, the uruks worked very well with the pike supports. Their fight value is higher than orcs's, and they also had a banner near to my troll, so it was very difficult to do casulty. But the number of my army was still much higher, so I began to destroy the uruks from the right side.
The isengard army lost half of its number, I reached Saruman, so he couldn't controll my troll any more, and my wargs was arriving from the other battle too. At this point Garmenhord gave up.
We forget some rules, for examples I had a horn with one of my warg riders, but I never counted the +1 courage, what a pity. We also forget to do the terror test a few time, when they attacked my troll. But it doesnt matter now, next time I wont forget it.
It was a long day (12:00-19:00), but I can say that Middle Earth is still amazing.
