Today we played with Alessandro battle on 2250 points per side. At least it was some lesson taken by me. This was first battle when I took trebuchet and it was shooting better than my Empire artillery – it was miracle, that guessing and scatter dices were working well both with many hits.
I have to paint this trebuchet. Orcs moved, so moved to welcome them too. On 2nd turn of greenskins I lost paladin – I thought he is save behind obstacle – he wasn’t, as goblins had Waagh and moved more. Men at arms fled as well as archers. Many screens and three 2nd level wizards worked well on me. Mistress of Marsh – total power with three sixes. Stayin on flank and waiting for they moment. One more screen in front of KoTR. One screen less and then… … brave pegasus knight unit was destroyed and KoTR panicked, never been seen on this field again. Knowing that orc boar boyz with black orc big boss is a source of problems Grail Knights regrouped. Four Grail Knights were taken by bolt thrower. Remaining Grail Knights charged to move away. Were charged on flank, but held for some time. Orcs charged on flank – I had hope, that Ranald will be with them – they loose by one point and fled, pursude by goblins. Duc fled the field to prepare his army better to next battle.
Summary:
– need to update this list with more archers, probably one small unit of knights, take one more wizard instead of paladin (I thought about taking even 3 2nd lvl wizards) – I will reduce units of men at arms to one unit.
– it was good game, at least I know that I need to change army composition a little bit.
Good report. Sad result for Bretonnia. Mine suffered same fate.
Thank you. It’s happens when you meet horde army and then you realize to improve your list🙂.
