This Saturday we played with Alessandro with 1500 points limit – this time I took Bretonnians and Alessandro took Dwarfs. Bolter provide us with place for our game – thank you Piotrek for fast response! In the same time was Middle Earth tournament – I hope to play on it someday.
Alessandro managed to deploy first – but I prayed to the Lady, so first turn belonged to Dwarfs. Bretonnian centre composed of Knighs of the Realm (paladin and battle standard bearer), archers and Grail Knights (paladin, damsel 2 level). Left flank. 1st turn of Dwarfs. One of the pegasus knights was wounded. Then my 1st turn – all army moved forward. Archers moved 4″ and shoot at flame cannon – eliminating two crewmen. On 2nd turn I tried to charge – only pegasus knights manage to do this. Then Slayers moved in centre. 2nd turn of Dwarfs. Mounted Yeoman said some bad words about slayer mother to distrubt him. On 3rd turn slayers charged on flank – hapilly before archers took two of them and they had one combat result less. Grail Knights charged on Bretonnian turn 3rd. Dwarf turn 4th was shooting, moving and melee. Flame cannon wounded two archers and the rest of them fled. It was turn 4th of Dwarfs. Bolt Throwers tried to kill Grail Knights, but power of the Lady was too strong. Dwarfs 5th round Regroup of Grail Knights. O turn 5th Grail Knights took one bolt thrower and charged another one. Lone slayer waiting on the hill. Last of the pegasus knights was catched by Dwarf crossbowmen. I guess that slayer hero charged me on 6th and took down one of the holy knights. During challenge Bretonnian paladin Tancred de Beauville managed to wound slayer once… and his warhorse finished him (6 followed by 6).
Summary:
– first time after some months I took Bretonnia, first time took Lance of Artois and one more Virtue.
– it was a Draw as Alessandro destroyed 619 points from my army and I destroyed 633,5.
– it was great evening game – usually I don’t play on 15, but this time I realized: Why not?
Aww, last time realized who is a singer of songs I knew for years. Great songs Billy Joel.
very close game.
