Game 1 was won with superior generalship by Dave. Good match-ups on his part--dang his general was a good unit!
Eventually he killed my general and that was game.
Game two saw dice betray me again against superior tactics. but I learned something important about the value of bow in woods!
Then I rolled five one's in a row and lost five freaking' units (the entire centre of my line)!
I managed to hold out longer than I thought but what can you do when you are one unit away from destruction? Good lessons, though.Up next: 15mm Goblins are just about painted and then on to skeletons and perhaps more elves (depending on what the postal carrier brings today).
I can confirm that Bob's dice were just hideous, they deserve decimation in the Roman sense (dicemation?).
ReplyDeleteFootnote, the shooter in the woods lesson is a painful one first time, don't duel them with shooters in the open (shooters in woods get +2 when shot at). HOTT is different from DBA in that way. This is where a pair of lurkers (wood elves? pixies? sprites?) would be worth their weight in gold for that Elven army...
