Well, you say High Elves, I say Melniboneans.
You know, the type of chaos who give Dark Elves a bad name.
Mort and I met up for a game of Warhammer Old World at the Leighton Buzzard club, and after the humiliation of Big Jason, it was time for Mort's Empire (this time being Border Princes variant) to meet the White Wolf and Stormbringer
The terrain, we went for two pieces each, and then scattered 2d6 inches, which put a large wood in my front line, and two hills. A third hill wandered off table to find somewhere safe to stay. This was neither of our deployments by the way!
Deployment was this:
Bolt thrower and archers out left, with the mage between them and the sword masters, swordmasters with Elric between the left hand hill and the woods, silver helms with teh army standard bearer Elwing out right beyond the wood. I then brought the shadow warriors and the ellyrian reavers on as scouts around the right. My aim - ex the Imperial light horse that did a number the gobbos last time. Wewngie!
Mort had light horse, with a wedge of knights behind, two massive pike blocks, shielded by a handgunner detachment, and detachment of halbardiers, ogres (yes, ogres, eek) and a second cavalry unit.
Turn 1 and my archers and reavers took out Mort's right-hand light horse. Means I don't need to worry about them! Phew!
The other light horse was shielding the knights, and were catching the wrong end of the archers attention. Bolt shooter was concentrating on the knights, where the armour piercing was helping an awful lot! Only the character remained.
Despite the handgunners best efforts, the Swordmasters were approaching fast. The Silverhelms eyed up potential targets as the ogres turned back to face.
Handgunners multched! Halbardiers hammered! The swordmasters and Elric continued into the first pike block, while the, lanceless, silver helms smash into the ogres.
The swordmasters were skewered, but he Reaers joined Elric in swatting down more pikemen, while the silver helms ride behind after squashing the ogres, then devastating the remains of the knights. The mage looks on.
Really did not go well for Mort tonight, I managed a perfect storm of shooting and charges. Basically, the silver helms rode past with an embarresed cough as they walked over three units.
