Its was a large battle that took several hours to play (time flew by) I’ll break it down to 3 Acts with event highlights
ACT ONE
We setup:
I start at the short end of a long table. On my side lots of multi-story ruins and catwalks. At the far end the castle.
To my right Dan. To my left Brian.
Early in the game Brian and Dan make a mad dash for the castle (way too far me at this point). Dan Proclaiming “Dudes I’m so going for the castle…damn it!!” and to back it up sends a unit of archers, the Alchemist, and a Troll to go climb the castle walls. He leaves a the assault orcs, troll and Orc Swordsmen on the ground.
Brian cant let Dan’s Blaze’n grab for the castle to go unanswered. He sends the replusor knight, Swordsmen to climb the castle walls on the opposite end (from dan) to contest the castle. He then sets up a archer unit on the tower roof, has his macemen back by the judge stay on the ground. The Marksmen runs off to find a sniper perch (it does).
I send unit of axe warriors, embalmed and priestess to run across the catwalk and rooftops. On ground level 2 units of axe warriors charge forward. The T. Crawler stays underground and moves forward.
