SPORE Con : Battle Two – Everblight vs Khador

Battle two was the closest I got to a win. Facing Vlad and an interesting selection of Behemoth, Widow Makers, Yuri, 2 Man Hunters, Eyriss, Drakon (no dismount) and Grey Lords.  It started very badly on the left with the Behomth sprinting 16″ across the board and engaging my advancing archers. The Grey Lords, Widow Makers and Vlad advanced on my left, the rest came down my right.  I had no choice but to throw one of my beasts at the Behemot to slow it down, the archers were a mess, but my right flank moved forward and swiftly cleaned up.

.

Then things went wrong, rather than killing my beast, the behemoth picked it up and threw it at my other beast…missed… deviated one inch…hit. Both beasts on the floor they then suffered ranged attacks galore and died together. Leaving me light on beasts. However the Harriers were doing okay and we’d killed everything on the right execpt for Yuri and he was in a bad way.

.

Turn 4 for me I poped my feat and moved my caster, yes really I did,  battle three I forgot again.  Rhyas swept through the Khador forces, killing all but the last Widowmaker and all the Greylords and ending the turn invisible, Def 20 in the middle of what was left of the Kador army (not much at all) . Harriers advanced but didn’t manage to kill Yuri, it was looking good!

.

Then Yuri moved (ran) , avoided two free strikes and ended next to the Behometh, and here a slight rules error from both of us (mixing up stealth and invisibility for ranged attacks) meant the Behometh then picked up Yuri threw him at Rhyas, missed and deviated on to her. (Rules error being that she can’t be targeted and therefore the Behometh has to throw at half strength distance). Anyway she was hit, knocked down and then Vlad stepped over and finished her off.

So close, and yet so far!
