Solo Wargaming - Example Playthrough (Pic Heavy)
Orc Turn 5
Combat time. The remaining orc boar boys charge the few remaining free company fighters and run them down. The swordsmen are charged by the large block of savage orcs they were squaring up against last round. The orc unit that had additionally been threatening the swordsmen ends up charging the unit of crossbowmen that was firing on it in the previous round. The understrength black orcs fall upon the spearmen unit from the fusiliers force.
Solo gamers note – these charges were all determined to be the most statistically viable options from the available alternatives.
in the combat phase the swordsmen and crossbowmen survive the initial charge and protracted hand to hand combat ensues. The huntsmen kill and rout the orc archers whom they charged in the previous round. The black orcs and warlord are defeated (surprisingly) by the spearmen for comparatively few casualties. Failing a leadership check to restrain their enthusiasm, the spearmen rush forward to cut down the fleeing survivors, opening a gap in the defensive line.
