Week 1 games for Rohirrim Raiders:
Game 1 against Russel's Minas Tirith. Scenario 10: Tame the Beast.
Russ bravely took on the cave troll early in the game, while the Rohirrim advanced (not necessarily at full speed). Initial awe at the bravery of the Minas Tirith turned to shock as the troll caused utter carnage amongst their ranks. With just a couple of the Minas Tirith lads remaining (and the troll hopefully getting a bit tired by now) the Rohirrim saw their opportunity and swarmed the beast, finally taking it down. Minas Tirith definitely did the hard yards in that game, but Rohan took the glory. Victory to the Rohirrim.
4 influence earned: spent on two horses for heroes.
Game 2 against Chris' Shire. Scenario 4: Recovery.
The Rohirrim made full use of the speed of the cavalry to identify the relic early on, and sent a couple of chaps to carry the object at full speed. Against a backdrop of the jammiest Rohan dice rolls you will ever witness, the hobbits made a brave stand against the charging steeds of the Rohirrim, nearly taking down a couple, but their little legs were unable cover the distance to intercept the Rohan boys as they legged it off the board post haste under a shower of stones. Victory to the Rohirrim.
4 influence earned: spent on Rohan Royal Guard.
Game 3 against Luke's Durin's Folk. Scenario 2: A Show of Strength.
A depleted force of dwarves took the fight to the Rohirrim, who stood their ground to draw opposition towards them. The bulk of the dwarf infantry were whittled down, leaving the Dwarf lieutenant to bravely slug it out alone against a posse of Rohan. One of the Rohan rank and file got a bit keen and killed the Dwarf lieutenant before the Rohan leader could try his hand, resulting in no kills attributed to either leader. Draw.
3 influence earned: failed to buy anything!
XP earnings across the 3 games allowed for the upgrade of a Warrior to a Rider (with horse).
