Yet another classic match up Dwarf vs Goblin, was played today. This was a game originally planned for last November, but had to be postponed. Thankfully Craig was able to attend this game despite the resurgence of winter!
We went with 1000 point armies with the Dwarves preordained to be the defenders so the Goblins were built as quick strike raiders. The dwarf army was mostly made up of my FB purposely based 'Roman' Dwarves, with the addition of two cannons and two handgun units. Both sides had 3 mages and 5 captains. No one used any magic items. The Dwarf army had a breakpoint of 9 while the more numerous Goblins had a 12.

It was a near run thing for the Dwarves but they were able to hold out for the win. The Dwarf army had lost 8 units (with a break point of 9) while the Goblins reached their breakpoint of 12. It was the bless spell that ultimately saved the Dwarves as they were able to recover enough resolve to stay in the fight. Neither side was that good at rallying their troops consistently rolling low numbers.
