Burning of the Westfold   Leave a comment

We did the first two scenarios from the campaign.

All is quiet in the village but the Wildmen are coming as the folk rush from their beds. The wildmen plan to burn the village to the ground.

Undaunted the Rohan Captain defeats all before him whilst his men rush to his aid.

However three buildings are set alite and the Rohirrim prove unable too dowse the flames (keep rolling 1s).

A close victory for Evil despite losing almost all their warriors!

Next Theodred attacks the Wildmen camped at night in the ruins…

The morning mist rises. Smoke from the burnt village.

The Prince arrives.

Rohan rapidly destroys four tents but three remain. Evil rallies in the centre and wins the roll off for a heroic move, thus negating a crucial charge bonus in the centre. Strong in attack the cavalry prove vulnerable due to the Wild men’s hatred rule and shooting in the dark providing a plus one bonus to wound.

Outnumbered and with his men slain Theodred is forced to retreat. Victory to Evil again!
