The next round in our battle companies Lord of the Rings campaign was just two games this time. My first was against Rory and his Angor force. Although it ended up being a bit one sided in my favour the game actually took over an hour which I think is a record for the campaign so far.
The scenario involved the individual figures coming in from all edges of the board so it took us a bit of time to sort ourselves out but unsurprisingly it all ended up in big scrap in the middle. The dice rolls were with me so I was pleased o chalk up another victory. I was able to generate a mounted knight as reinforcement, but had to rely on a warg mounted orc supplied by Kev as a substitute as I didn’t have a suitable figure with me.
The second game was against Andy and his Mordor Orcs. I was defending a camp with six lots of supplies which Andy’s forces had to set fire to. To do that they had to be in contact with the supply marker, not in combat, and then roll a 4+.
Andy, who has leading the campaign and has a fairly large warband attacked from all sides. I decided to concentrate my forces and try and cause early casualties and risk some supplies being destroyed. Just about the first combat saw my elf knight (orc warg rider) put out action – not a good start!
On the other side of the camp I managed to mob two of Andy’s better Orcs including his leader and although they put up some resistance they went down. Casualties were soon mounting on both sides but first one, then two then three lots of supplies went up. Andy’s Orcs hit break point and the game ended (on a roll of a 1 or a 2) on the first roll just in time for a draw to be declared.
