Solo Wargaming - Example Playthrough (Pic Heavy)
Humans Turn 3
The pistoliers, now effectively the only human unit that could engage in any form of offensive action, used their superior mobility to manoeuvre to the side of the orc boar riders and open fire with their pistols. In doing so, they triggered one of the defensive pit traps, but were quick enough to avoid falling into the hole. The volley of shot unleashed by the pistoliers fells three of the boar riders, but the two remaining riders fail to panic- other lesser orcs might die due to minor inconveniences like being fusiladed in the side of the head but these orcs were clearly made of sterner stuff…
In the centre of the field a lucky cannonball overshoots it’s target of black orcs and catches the giant, inflicting four wounds to the massive beast. The huntsmen slip out of the protective cover of the ruins they had been occupying and fire on the wounded giant, trying ineffectually to inflict a couple more wounds with bow fire and fell the monstrosity.
Towards the guard tower, the archers take advantage of the opportunity provided by the goblins being pulled out of line in running down the unfortunate free company fighters. With the way clear they make a desperate break for the tower.
The remaining free company reform to face the goblin force and the fusiliers and crossbowmen continue to pour fire into the savage orcs on the road, almost destroying the unit entirely.
