Progress of the Three Battles
So far five moves have been made in the game. It took while to sort out the rules but the game moves are getting faster and next weekend will see the conclusion with another five moves.
The role of magic progressed from ineffectual to devastating when large templates were involved. One of the most devastating involved a 'misfire' which killed half my Viking archers and the casting sorcerer!
The Empire cannons have done some damage to skeleton hordes with D6 strength 10 hits on each model passed through by the cannon ball. Even a vampire bit the proverbial graveyard dust. However, some misfires prevented the effect of some potential hits.
The Vampire lord has,with a large mounted skeleton unit, crossed the river and faces a number of Empire units. It remains to be seen if his great power can overcome them.
At another point further skeletons are crossing the river but a reception of bowmen and gunners await them.
The Eastern Fezians are about to cross the other river on the Imperial flanks; it will be a close run thing to see if the imperial forces can quickly deal with the undead in order to face the Fezians.
In the land of Fez a quagmire of a battle continues between undead, orks and Fezian forces.
Two summoned zombie units have appeared to menace the Fezian flank. (Some zombies have been made up of ancient Egyptian and other assorted spare figures, including cavemen!) A third zombie force has occupied the Fezian castle. As a result, some Fezian units preparing to invade imperial lands have turned around.
A tragedy for the empire was the death of its general, killed by a vampire, but the troops fight on, knowing that an Undead victory is unthinkable. The allied High Elves were also wiped out by a skeleton regiment and its vampire commander. Two skeleton regiments and some of their allies have also been destroyed by imperial forces but more undead are coming, completely undaunted by any casualties.
