Today I played against Berndion. We played WOTR, not SBG, yeee.
It was a 800 points war. Today I didnt buy any beer, cause a few days ago I woke up like this:
So I do some break now with beer drinking, but the game is still good. We played Field of Swords, we deployed from the shorter edges of the board.
I brought wargs, orcs, morannon orcs, black guards and a troll. Berndion brought two big companies of MT warriors, Kngihts and two avenger bolt thrower. He used many heroes: captains, Faramir, Pippin. I only had a Black Guard Captain and Mouth of Sauron.
I moved my orcs straight ahead to the main gondor army. The black guards and the troll came from the side.
I sent my warg to (the death) the other side.
A smaller mt team went into the forest. My wargs met with the knights at the next to the forest, and the knights and the mt warriors attack my wargs at the same time. I surprised that the wargs survived a few turns, so they hold the knights right there.
My orcs attacked the wood team, they didnt do to many casulties.
The morannon orc team went straight ahead, use the Wings of Terror magic, so they were really fast.
Berdion chose to attakc my Black Guards, but fortunately I could reach him with my troll and with the morannon orcs also, so he was trapped there. From there I tried to kill Faramir.
The artilery worked very well, made a lot of death orcs.
Most of my magics were useless. The gondorians always did the courage test, or if not, they could reroll cause of Pippin. I used Black Breath, it worked, and then I called a heroic duel with my BG captain, but then Faramir did an epic strenght. Does it aloved
So Faramir strenght was 10, he won the duel, killed my captain, and a few black guard. I always caused a lot of casulties to the gondorians with my 3 unit. After that in the next turn Faramir called a heroic duel to Mouth of Sauron. The same, Mouth died, orcs also. I lost so many orcs. I hate heroic duel.
On the other side my wargs died, and my orcs also after a while. They got many hits from the artilery. But fortunately the knights and the mt warriors were so far from the main battle, where I couldnt kill Faramir, but I killed everyone else, so that company has been removed.
We count the casulties. The leaders were both dead. My lost: 9 points | Berndion's: 9 points.
I almost lost everything, but I only had 2 heroes in my hole army, not as much, as Berndion. It was really surpriseing, that the result is the same exactly.
Next time I will move my formations better.
