The gaming season is on! Our first game is the last alliance since we're gonna devote this month to LotR battles. The rules for the scenario are quite straightforwards: the good has to kill Sauron and the evil 4 of the 5 heroes within 15 turns in order to win. The game is played with the GW rulebook at 1400pts.
The good side is made up of all the free peoples: dwarfs led by their king Durin
Men of Numenor under Isildur & Elendil
Elves led by Gil-Galad and Elrond
And one eagle
The bad guys include Sauron, orcs and trolls
The good begins by keeping the heroes back and sending the warriors forward
The evil, badly outgunned, must advance too
The dark lord himself
The eagle advances and wins a combat against two trolls
Sauron uses his magic to wound the bird and puppet it into the middle of his forces
The eagle won't last long there
While some good warriors advance, the rest shoot
The four main heroes form a block behind their men
Eagle still fighting (not for long)
Sauron moves to smash some heads, a mistake since he is far better at launching spells and can't do that in combat
As the two lines crash combats spread, the trolls are killing machines, but the orcs die quite fast
Goodbye eagle!
A troll is killed by men with two handed weapons
Seven turns have passed and the battle stands on a knife's edge, however my opponent has got enough and decided to concede. Victory for evil then!
