The GREAT BATTLE of our time
TURNS 12 and 13.
“We are never late. We arrive precisely when we mean to.” — J. R. R. Tolkien
Problem with dark side reinforcements was their speed. Or perhaps the problem was the table size. Or perhaps it was they appeared too late…
The fact is that most of them were not going to fight, so my chances of victory, despite having massacred the enemy, were slim.
The dunlendings and the rest of the orcs were simply going to be completely useless… they were not going to get to the fortress before the orcs were going to be slain…
Despite it, my wargs, being very fast, managed to get close to the light side army in no time. The rohirrim army didn’t notice anything until it was too late! In a few rounds my wolves caught up with the Rohan riders from behind, and with another magnificent maneuver that will be remembered for a long time, the nasty strawheads were trapped between my uruks and the direwolves!
On the left flank, things simply got worse for the elves that tried to defend the barricades. With the goblins coming through the stone wall, the uruks coming from behind and some easterlings harrassing them between lines, they were defeated to the last man… (well, elf).
Although the rangers and Rohan soldiers killed many goblins, the sheer number of those ugly creatures kept them busy. The overwhelmed dwarves could do nothing to stop a small group of Moria orcs from reaching the center zone… the only remains of the light side army there were some Arnor men, that tried to resist without any comprehensive formation. Maneuvering between friends and foes, they placed a ladder against the walls!
