| Empire initial deployment |
So this was a repeat of the Bloody Beck scenario but with both armies having only 350 points and two players. I had reduced the point total from the earlier game as we only had two players and the games was starting around 5:30-6 pm and we did not want to go too long. That would not be a problem!
 |
| Once again Orcs took advantage of the uncontested areas and sent their cavalry charging across the shallow river |
 |
| Fortunately Empire cavalry had arrived on the table in reserve |
 |
| In an unexpected move, the Empire sent their hand gunners across the river! |
 |
| The hand gunners eliminated one skirmish unit, but failed to wound the Orc Army Commander, then the Giant attacked! |
 |
| One hand gunner unit destroyed & the other Orc skirmish unit also destroyed but at a cost. |
 |
| Meanwhile a grand cavalry battle saw the two units in a see saw fight |
 |
| With their flank threatened, the pikes quickly reformed to face the enemy |
 |
| Free Lancer cavalry tried to stop the Orc infantry from crossing the river, while pike troops engaged the weakened Ogre unit |
 |
| Goblin javelin armed cavalry charged home against the pikes while the giant charged into combat with the Empire army commander |
 |
| Both the pike unit and the Goblin cavalry were eliminated, as was the Empire General |
In the end the Empire fell to the Orcs. The game only lasted 3 turns before the Empire saw their reputation in tatters. However, the Orcs found themselves reduced to 2 rep, so a close fight. The final turn saw the Empire desperately trying to gain some extra rep and also destroy some more Orc Units to reduce the Orc rep, they failed.
