Legendary Battle Pt 2
Posted October 26th, 2009 at 22:06 by Chaosundivided
I write this now just after my Legendary Battles game ended. My 10 Chaos Spawn rather surprisingly demolished a unit of Greatswords, then Flagellants, while my units of chosen, rather more predictably, slaughtered Orcs in swathes.
By turn 7 we took the inn, but lost it briefly on turn 8 to a massive counter attack, led by none other than Grimgor Ironhide, calling a Waaaagh!
However, we took it back in style on our turn in turn 8, with my leader slaying Grimgor, and my chosen regrouped for the final attack on the castle.
We pushed up the hill in turn 9, and the remainder of the Orcs were defeated, as well as a good number of the remaining Dark Elves, who fell primarily to a truly horrific hailstorm of magic.
The Dark Elves knew they couldn't win on objectives at this point, so sallied forth from their castle, and charged. The esuing violence left the Dark Elves in bad shape.
They managed to finish my remaining chosen, but then in my turn I counter charged with Warriors and Knights, and tore them apart. At the end of the game, not only had we achieved a massacre, but we held all but one objective, that and we held the town, earning even more VP's.
The battle was great fun, and took around 8 hours to complete. Although I was mortified at how my opponent handled the use of my Dark Elves (although to be fair he's never used them before), he did a great job with the Orcs.
Two things won us that game, magical superiority, and a strategy that went exactly to plan.
