First Game in 4 weeks!

The Christmas break was much extended this year – I missed the last game at the club last year and did not get any games in between meetings hence a long long time with no gaming.

Kev broke out his LOTR collection for and we played the attack on the Deeping Wall scenario.  I took the Rohirrim supported by Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli whilst Kev had the assaulting Uruk-hai.

With the heroes defending the wall it was always going to be very difficult for the attackers to go over the top and the only real way for them to win was to blow a section of wall and swarm through that way.  My archers initially had very poor luck and the 3 demolition teams made it quite close to the wall with few casualties.  However when they arrived a shower of spears took out the torch bearers who had the best chance of setting the charges off.  It was then left to others to try and it took several turns and many more casualties before they succeeded.

By the time the Uruk-hai were very close to their break point and although I had not left many troops at ground level they were sufficient to hold them back whilst more missiles from Legolas and the remaining archers were enough to seal victory,

A fun game where Kev suffered from poor luck – an earlier detonation would have made an evil win much more likely.
