This past Sunday was our OMG club day, so we got together to play some games of the new Age if Magic suplimemt for Saga, great fun. Thus time I decided to play a Lord of the Rings themed army with aragorn as warlord, Gandalf as wizard, boromir as captain, gimli and legolas as Paladin's and a bunch if men if gondor, elves, and hobbits as warriors.
Game 1: vs Undead
Game 1 was against Duncan Goid and his undead. We did the random mission set up and got:
Frontier region
Refused flank
Unknown length
Forced March
Show of force
Basically play on the short edges with terrain set by player 2, victory is survival with a bonus for winning fights.
All set for battle. First few turns troops can only be short, tired from the forced March even ghosts!
Undead advance driven by the knight of shrouds in the back.
I have my biw mine take a hill and crank our some good shooting. Putting allot of fatigues on the front ghosts.
So the back ghosts fly over and attack the elven bowman, killing a few and driving them back. I had some good defensive abilities.
This lets Legolas take advantage and kill the ghosts. Paladins get double dice fighting monsters.
Surver of the field.
Hard to see but boromir and his guys are facing the zombie horde on the far side of the woods. Boromir used legendary warrior to not die.
Things start winding down as we run out of dice, but I had a great last few turns.
After this Gimili charged and killed the other set of ghosts.
In the end we had a solid victory for the men of Gondor, Aragorn knows how to handle ghosts it seems.
Round 2: vs Wilds
Game 2 was against Tod as his first faction, lord of the wilds I think. Jungle themed guys anyway.
Another random battle this time:
Frontier region
Refused flank
Cautious
Fog
Carnage
Actually pretty similar.
Now I to the jungles to fight Rexy and the jungle men. First few turn have fog so not much shooting.
Slow advance.
More slow advancing. Had my guys go in the forest so it cant come alive and smash me.
We are picking at each other with shooting but no big attacks. I moved closer to try and tempt some action and set defensive stuff.
Rex charges out but gimli drives him back.
Few fights have gone on, but we have relatively defensive boards so no crazy attacks
In the end a bunch of units are whittled down. Gimli made a good attempt to kill the sorcerer but he rolled good saves and lived. Couldn't even kill rex! But the 2 biw units did good work killing allot of guys with their efficient shooting.
The score was very close to game 1 with me in the lead again. So another victory for Gondor! Was fun playing with all the heroes, quite like this army. They and the undead are my favourites so far for sure.
Anyway here's a few shots of others games:
Very well organized, might de dbmm players?
Jungles and dragons!
Old old school GW or s vs New School GW undead, fun times.
Was a great club day, everyone had fun and we got lucky with the weather so it wasn't super hot!
Thanks;
Mike
