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 !!

Printed some walls for napoleonic or ww2 period games.

Needs a little more work such as corners. Will need to recall what scale I printed the taller ones at!

Low walls just need to paint up the corners and add a spacer.

Base coat spray. Then craft paint taupe then highlight craft paint white . Grey for the stones and brown fur contrast paint for the bricks. Home made black ink wash to age them up. Burnt umber to the base. Applied a light brown wash to the lower parts first but not noticeable as perhaps too old a pot.

Green moss scatter on to the tops and bottoms then grass to the base.

Will varnish then try to find space in a box to store them.
