The final scenario in our mini campaign on the siege of Edoras.
Rohan start in the centre within the walls of Edoras . Perhaps the market square . Surrounded by the wild men led by Wulf and Targg.
We used infantry leaders on both sides this time .
Archery proved effective but short lived on the invaders with their low defence but also against the Rohan troops .
Link chose to maintain formation with the sons within the shield wall and held for the initial charge rather than being drawn out .
The Rohan warriors began to fall but so did Wulfs warriors and he was surrounded by the dons of Helm. He even took a hit from Hama using his bow as he advanced .
Targg gave priority away leaving his boss in big trouble . This time there was a rules question about heroic challenge. Wulf accepted do gained a bonus in the fight phase but could also have heroic strike . In the end we perhaps mistakenly ruled he could not do both but of course in that case the challenge would never have been called . Basically if you want to fight do not call heroic challenge they turn .
Wulf lost the tied fight value roll off and was trapped . Then killed.
With Wulf dead the heroes attacked Targg who was easily eliminated by Haleth who is a mighty warrior indeed.
So with both heroes dead even though they had a lot of reinforcements arriving evil could not see a way of winning . Rohan was holding the VP POSITION and had killed the enemy leaders . So victory to Link and Rohan and what a great scenario . Next time mounted leaders and perhaps some traitors too !!
