Emil and I duked it out in the garage attic once more - he playing the staunch defenders of Gondor, and I the devious Goblin horde.
We played the standard 4 Rounds.
We rolled only 3 objectives this time, and Emil won the deployment roll-off.
The first couple of photos show the table before deployment (almost - we had just begun placing units when I remembered to pull out the camera).
The next three pics show the forces deployed.
This photo I snapped to make sure that all Objective Counters were shown (there is one in the ruined throne room upper center right).
In Round 1 both forces sped forward - I was able to secure two Objectives, while Emil took the last.
In Round 2, the fighting commenced. The Gondorian wizard hit one of my Trolls with a Fireball which left it flat on its back. My Shaman failed horribly to cast Glare on the enemy Wizard.
I could not defend the Troll, and he was quickly dispatched at the beginning of Round 3. My other Troll took its place, was also hit by a Fireball, but shook off most of the effect. My Shaman failed another casting attempt.
Early in Round 4 it became clear that Emil could not shift the Goblins from any of the two Objectives I held, and we agreed to call it a day, with a 2-1 win for the Moria horde. Before that, my Shaman actually managed to Glare the Wizard, and managed to inflict a whooping 3 hits (on 2d6), and one of those was saved, leaving the Wizard to cast another spell.
The game could have gone either way, but I succeeded in taking and holding the two Objectives closest to my side of the table with the majority of my warband. I need to think up some alternative scenarios, though, as the game may get a bit samey.
