Fwee Dorfs - KOW

So, apologies for the delay – given the results of the first set of games I wanted to get to this sooner but a poorly child and an impending attack of Auditors have gotten in the way.

So how did the games go… not good!

I played two games and the first was against a beautifully painted Elven force. It started well, my doggos with throwing dogs did some amazing job, almost popping a unit of Cav in turn 1. Unfortunately I overestimated the usefulness of “the Boomstick” on my Beast master which failed to do anything useful and then he got charged and popped in short order. The doggos took a couple of turns to kill his cav unit and one was still around at the end so not a bad showing from then.

In the centre my rangers advanced into a wood and failed to hit a reg of spears in front of them. They got themselves trapped out of the way for the mid game being ineffective apart from putting some good damage on my opponent’s Acolyte but Inspiring kept him around. The earth elementals took a fair bit of damage but aren’t great at dishing it out.

In the end it was a close run thing and if I had rolled a little better here and there it could have gone the other way.

My Second game was a rout! My opponent had ratkin and I underestimated them big style. I tried to to the same as last time but left my doggos out on the flank with nothing to do and the Hordes and the effect of the him taking the Wind Element meaning his Acolyte could give his tunnel runners he gift of flight just tore through my army to a dwarf!

Unfortunately there are no photos – I forgot to charge my phone before heading out and so it was not an option unfortunately.

What have I learned:

1. HAVE A PLAN AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU’RE DOING.
2. Doggos are amazing but give them a target.
3. The beastmaster cannot go toe to toe so dont make him
4. Earth elementals are not good at dishing out damage.
5. Remember special rules. In the campaign my Acolyte can force an opponent once a game to reroll damage… could have been useful!
6. Scout is great, but not so much when rangers are just thrown out in front with no support!

Need to draw up a new list for the 1000 game in Sept – do I go inventive or lazy…
