Hold The Ford... Wait, what? (The Hobby Trailer Tournament Game, Part 2)

 OK, after the first part, where Theoden was brutally slain with his men by a marauding fight 5 Uruk-hai captain with a two-handed axe, the Hordes of Isengard are ready for more blood (but this time, it's orc-flesh they're eating) 

Welcome to The Hobby Trailer Tournament Game, Part 2. 


This time we played a custom scenario called Hold the Ford. The game ends when one force is Broken. The Defender basically wins by keeping the Attacker's models from the ford in the center of the board, the Attacker wins by busting through to reach the ford.

Like it?

Turn 1

the Orcs became the Defender, with the Uruk-hai Leader and banner were alone, ready to be bombarded by 5 orc bows, while the rest of the Uruks and Orcs happened to be in charge range of each other.

This round was definitely going to hinge on who got priority that turn.


Aaaaaannnnnnndddddd...    the orcs got it!

The orcs proceeded to pummel the uruk-hai. (just kidding, neither side received any casualties, besides, who's ever heard of  orcs singlehandedly defeating Fight 4, Defence 6 Uruk-hai?)


Turn 2

Orc priority two-in-a-row!

the orcs with bows and two-handed weapons charged the  


                                                                                                                isolated 


Uruk-hai Leader and banner, and dealt 3 wounds to the Leader and 2 wounds to the banner, killing them instantly

(no wait, the Leader passed his Fate Roll. False Alarm.) Tie Die - Sigh.


Turn 3

the Uruks got priority and charged the orcs, slaying many, including the Orc Captain, and wounding Zagdush. Otherwise the turn was uneventful.



Turn 4

The Leader was surrounded by 8 Orcs, trapped, and slain. 

Zagdush was also killed by the Uruk-hai with two-handed axe. (the Mordor force is out of Heroes)



Turn 5

Without Heroes, the Orcs crumbled quickly, and the Uruk-hai Broke them, leading to a sound victory in the hands of the Uruks...

Victory!


Not!!

the Uruks didn't have a single model in the ford, thereby handing the victory to the Orcs!

Final score - Mordor victory 

Well, that was bloody, to say the least, but congratulations, Tie Die!👏

have fun playing the game!
