Battlefield Bangkok

Friendly 1000 Point “Assault and Defend” Match

The concept was simple enough, “lets have something that doesn’t end in a caster kill…” . Fielded across  four players, 3 Armies were 1000 Points of defending Druids (Balder and Krueger) , being assaulted by an allied force of 500 Khadorians (Sorshca) and 500 Skorne (Hexerus) . The heavy boys vs the tree huggers. Of course many many turns later it still ended with a double caster kill, but the “capture the duidic circle” gave everyone something more to focus on, and perhaps with an enforced turn limit it would have come into play, but as it was the battle played out as follows :
.

The Druids arrayed them selves to defend two fords across the deep river, one ford heading into thick forest and the other into a wheat field, strangely the Druids were heavily massed on their left facing the Skorne, leaving their right lightly defended with just a a few pigs against the might of Khador.
.

On the Druids left flank it all went great, the Skorne infantry were ripped to pieces by lightening strikes and spells while Khador advanced slowly and surely up the battle field. The Mortar team lobbing shells that landed in random locations to little effect until one strayed over the top and landing bang in the middle of the clustered druids, that was nasty, and gave the Druids pause and they started to spread out.
.

However by this time Khador were across the Ford and making hard work of getting through the wheatfield.  Druidics forces rushed up to cover the collapsed right wing and were hit by Sorshca’s feat.  This forced more Druids to move to stop Khador and allowed the what was left of the Skorne to retreat (amidst Kruegers ongoing feat).  By the time the thaw came, a good portion of the Druids were dead, Baldur made a last ditch attempt to stop Sorshca, failed and was cut down himself. However that’s where it went wrong for Kahdor, with minimal casualities to that point, Sorshca left herself exposed and was hit and killed by a tornado. Shutting down her Jack’s when they were primed to mop up.  This left the Skorne in an iffy position with the game balanced in favour of the remaining Druids.  However as the sun began to set, luck ran out on Kruegar and he found himself a little too close to an easy target… and was killed by the blast damage having spent all his fury in an over zealous attempt to finish of the remaining Skorne beasts. Victory Skorne and the Khador Mortar team!
