One Page Rules: Age of Fantasy battle report

Rift Daemons: The Crab daemon now needs to push through the formidable Rock troll unit to contest objective 1 but is unable to do any damage to these tough opponents.

Goblins: The Goblin archers and Wizard on objective 3 throws some arrows and magic at my Champion on chariot but fail to do any damage.

Rift Daemons: The Pink Warriors fall back and fully encircle objective 4 before throwing fireballs at the Troll giant. Objective 4 is definitely out of my opponents grasp but the Troll giant survives on 1 wound.

Goblins: The Rock Trolls bombard the Crab daemon with rocks smashing into an oblivion of twisted metal.

Rift daemons: In a desperate attempt to stop the Goblin boss from taking objective 5 I charge into him with my Champion on chariot. Unfortunately I make my second big mistake of the game. My Champions Symbol of change ability fails to go off and instead of using my spell against the Goblin boss, I used it on the Goblin archer unit behind the arch near objective 3. I kill sufficient goblins to force a morale check and they run demoralized but objective 3 remains in my opponents control. My close combat attacks fail to kill the Goblin boss on giant Spider and he survives on a single wound and passes his morale check.

Goblins: The Goblin boss on giant spider runs between my units and secures objective 5 for my opponent.

We called the game at this point. It was highly likely the Troll giant was going to kill my Champion on chariot but it was immaterial as my opponent ended the game with objectives 1, 2, 3 and 5 under his control, while I only had objective 4.

All in all a very enjoyable game that I learned a lot from. I feel I misused my Crab daemon whose damage output is not significant but whose damage absorption potential is high. Moving up more aggressively to control objective 2 early on and blocking the centre of the board would have been better than sitting out on the left flank picking off goblin archers. As discussed earlier I threw my Daemon champion away and I should have ignored his Troll giant and played round him more effectively. As a final thought I put too many resources on my right flank and did not leave sufficient time to redeploy to newer threats.

My opponent, on the other hand, played a pretty much flawless game, moving resources round the board exactly as needed to control the flow of play.
