Turn 1:
HE:
Reavers and eagles move up into range of charging the sorcerer. Spearmen move up, silverhelms move up towards skellies. I Miscast on my first roll, and i loose the Flames of The Pheonix and a magic level on my Lvl 4. Than, I get the thunderbolt to go off, I roll a 6, and then roll all 1s and 2s. But, I roll the curse and get it on the Black Coach. The RBT fire a volley, and with the re-rolls they all hit, 6 wounds, and 1 saved with a 5+. Bye Bye Black Coach.
VC:
Everything moves up, in magic he summons a ton of skellies in addition to the original unit. But thats it for magic.
Turn 2:
HE:
I charge the Black Knights from the front with 2 chariots, and the flank with the SH + Battle Banner. BUT, my Battle Banner unit fail their fear test. My reavers charge the wolves, and the eagle charges the sorcerer. Hardly any magic, except for the curse on the bat swarms, and comet beside the zombies. The RBT get 9 wounds on the 2 bat swarms, leaving it with one t. 2 wound. The chariots kill 2 Black Knights, but they auto break get caught, and the Black Knights over run into the Flank of the Spearmen unit. The eagle ties combat with the sorcerer, and the reavers roll 1s (but the horses kill a wolf) to get a tie combat.
At this point I looked like i was gonna get destroyed.
VC:
The ghouls flank charge the reavers, the bat swarms move up, and he summons MORE skellies. The eagle kills the sorcerer, the reavers valiantly kill the wolves and chase down the ghouls. The Spearmen are broken but not caught, but the black knights charge into the second spearmen unit.
Turn 3:
He:
The reavers (my game winners) charge the rear of the Black knights, the swordmasters charged the front. The S.H + Battle Banner charge the front of a 40 strong unit of skellies. The comet drops, killing 5 zombies. The Swormasters kill 2 more black knights, and w/ combat resolution the other 4 black knights died too. The Battle Banner unit tied combat, but i rolled a 5 on the battle banner. I destroyed Von Carsteins magic ward save with the Ring of Corin
VC:
The zombies charged the flank of the reavers, the bat swarm charged one RBT. The RBT fled cuz of fear. Von Carstein took one wound in combat, but killed the rest of the reavers w/ the zombies. The Battle Banner unit kept on killing skellies.
Turn 4:
He:
The eagles rear charged the zombies, the rbt shot down the last batswarm. The Swordmasters finished off Von Carstein. Crumble tests, and then after the smoke cleared he only had skelletons and zombies in the single digits. My opponent surrendered.
Massacre to the HIgh Elves, although after my turn 2 i thought i was going to get massacred. |
