So. Where to begin!
The fight for East Emnet was fought over by the lords of battle. The mighty betrayer with his legions of watchers of karna, his Abraham guard and most deadly assassins. Contesting against the forces of Harad were the current residents of Rohan, The forces of Isengard with their fighting Uruk hai lead by the the general Saruman.
At the beginning Saruman used his palentir to start his inicitive and gain priority. Gaining the first move the magic began to be summond. However! The shaman must of had an off day as he failed his fury roll. Saruman also became redundant in the first turn as the betrayer caused him to loss all his will by casting sap will. Saruman did get a cheaky sorcerous blast on a few men killing 2 knocking over the rest (first blood to Isenguard).
After that the action turned to one side of the table with the uruks giving as good as they got. Wounding the Harad with ease with there supior strength. But Harad had the numbers.
Though Isenguard started the stronger killing force, the tide shifted towards Harad becoming the dominate force. Mainly due to the betrayer getting involved on his fell beast. Throwing uruks down the line of other fighting uruks was particularly fun!
Isengard was broken! Harad needed to hold on to their narrow lead.
In the last turn Isengard managed to get Verasku in the mix and call heroic fight managed to kill 4 Harad. Harad were broken!
Game drawn! 20 vp each
All in all this was a very fun game and very close in the the Eb and flow of the game.
Total models killed;
Harad killed 18 models causing the captain roll 2 fate (18vps +2vps for fate) = 20vps
Isenguard killed 20 = 20vps
So, looking at how other drawn games are resolved it goes down to how many points are killed. I can't remember exactly what was killed either side but I can make a good guess.
Points killed estimations;
Isenguard lost 18 models;
4-5 crossbowmen 44 or 55 points
13-14 swordsmen 130 or 140 points
Technically I didn't kill the captain but do I count the fate points???? It would roughly be 10points per fate point if we included it.
Lowest points killed = 184
Highest points killed = 205
Harad lost 20 models
7 Abraham guard (I remember there being 1 left - you did like targeting them Chris!) = 56
4-6 spear men = 28 or 42
7-9 watchers of karna = 70 or 90
Lowest points killed = 168
Highest points killed = 174
Does this sound about right Chris???
Judging by these estimated points killed I think Harad might of just edged it! This game was very close in the end! Great game overall Uruk hai are just strong overall. There isn't any one strong hero really but who cares when you have strength 4, defence 6 pretty much as standard.
Cheers Chris, I look forward to the next game.
