Each turn that a settlement is under siege both the defender and attacker get to build siege equipment or reinforce the walls. In this case the elves opted for two siege artillery and the defenders chose to reinforce two sections of the wall and equip the wall with boiling oil.
The entirety of the defending force consisted of 160 points, just a troop of shield wall and archers. They would be attempting to hold out against a full 1500 point elven army lead by Alf the mighty Elf King on his steed! Most likely they regretted trying to refuse elven rule at this point...
The elves began with releasing volleys of arrows at the troops on the wall to no effect while the siege artillery ranged in on the walls themselves. With no safer option available the men remained hidden behind the ramparts.
With siege ladders in tow (yes I know I need to get those models done but I'm no factory!) the infantry blocks advance while the drakon riders (minus riders, they were yummy) take the tower. The drakons would swoop down from the towers to easily destroy the archers while the shield wall moves from the wall to the gate itself and assault outwards. Whether madness or a simple attempt to slay the enemy general they leave the safety of the castle.
They of course fail to do more than stun Alf at the shear audacity of these men. Even the wizard Sprinkles could only stand by and shake his head as the Drakons swoop down and dismantle the humans piece by piece.
King Alf won an easy victory this day and lost nothing. The city was under his rule now.
