Year 1, Turn 6 Battles

The lone battle in the first years final month is a battle between the Rhordians and a Mercenary banner from the Forces of Nature.


Since it takes place near a mountain we decided that as the Mercenary banner came in to take over the fortress they were intercepted via an underground abandoned mine.  Thus an underground battle will take place rendering all impassable terrain of height 4 or more impassable even to flyers.


The Nature force consists of:

1x Regiment of Naiad Wyrm Riders with Healing Brew
1x Regiment of Naiad Wyrm Riders with Brew of Strength
1x Regiment of Salamanders with Brew of Haste


The Rhordians have brought:

1x Regiment of Household Knights with Potion of Caterpillar (green knights)
1x Regiment of Household Knights with Brew of Haste ( Red and white knights)
2x Troops of Halfling Ranger Cavalry (he swears he'll get them painted this year!)
Siegried, Duke on Winged Aralez with diadem of dragon kind
Fin Urland the Wizard (on horse), with Bane Chant (2), and inspiring Talisman


  The nature army was hoping for a favorable scenario unfortunately field battle ended up being the table rolled on resulting in a simple control scenario.  Since this battle is balanced for equal points this put them at a grave disadvantage.  After deployment the slaughter commenced...


The Rhordians advanced cautiously at first using the superior movement of their cavalry.  The Forces of nature setup a rather irresistible trap along the center line hoping to cause at least some damage.


In the second turn the Rhordians took the bait and quickly killed one regiment of Naiad wyrmriders while the other only wavered and regenerated a few points of damage next turn.


With the trap sprung the salamanders proceeded to roll horribly on their to hits and really well on damage sadly bringing only 4 points of damage on the knights.  Of the knights held and the salamanders were wiped out by the green knights next turn...


Of course they were not the only thing wiped out on the final turn either.

Nature had trespassed onto the lands of man and paid the price horribly...
