Rolled for spells.

Shadow Sorc got Enfeebling, Withering, Pit, and Mindrazor.
Metal Sorc got Plague of Rust, Glittering Robe, and Final Transmutation.
Death Sorc got Fate of Bjuna and Purple Sun.

It's a pretty crazy set of spells.

Turn 1, DE.

Moved everything forward, war hydra 2 passed its dangerous terrain test with a 5 and the forest was normal. Cauldron gave a 5++ to the Corsair block.

Magic was 5+1, so 6 for me, 5 for him. His MRoBalance pulled that to 5 for me, 6 for him and his runelord made it 8 dice for him. Darkstar cloak gave me one more PD to leave us at 6 PD, 8 DD.

He let my metal sorceror get Power of Darkness off with 2 dice to give me 4 more for a total of 8 to 8 now. The Metal sorc cast plague of rust on the Warrior unit, which he dispelled, leaving us at 6 to 6. The SS cast PoD with one die, getting a total of ten and he failed to dispell with two. After I rolled up 4 more PD, it was now 9 PD to 4 DD. I cast pit of shades, small, with 4 dice and he let it go. After scatter, it killed only cannon 2. 5 PD to 4 DD. The death sorceror cast PoD with 2 dice and he dispelled it with his last 3. Somehow the dice numbers here or during the turn were messed up because I only had 2 left and used them to cast glittering robe on the warriors for a 5+ Scaly Skin save against a GT hit.

His turn.

dwarf turn 1

moved my 2nd warrior unit over a bit.

i had the worst shooting phase i have ever had, ever witnessed, and likely the worst i ever will wistness (for dwarfs). 1st my cannon failed to wound a hydra on a +2, my 1st OG misfired, and now cant fire this turn or the next, than my 2nd OG got only 2 hits on the knights...and killed 1. and than my GT also misfired. terrible!!!!!!!!! my quarrellers also did terrible, killing only 2 corsairs.

this terrible shooting phase may very well loose me the game because it was very crucial.....but i will fight on!

DE turn 2.

Harpy 1 charged the runelord who held.

Magic saw a 5+1 again, with me getting only one spell off. Again, it was the small Pit of Shades and he failed his dispell attempt. It scattered off his Ironbreakers, catching only two of them, but it now touched the building, taking Cannon 1 down also!.

Combat saw the harpies sneak an S3 wound past his 2+ AS and saw them take one wound back. He held on his break test.

well since my warmachines were failing me i deceided to charge! hte warriors and ironbreakers with my lord charged the corsairs and the other warrior unit charged the hydra.

shooting did close to nothing yet again...and at this point my 2 most important warmachines (cannons) were both dead.

in combat the warriors and ironbreakers beat the corsairs, brinining them down to 21 but they got snake eyes and held...the otehr warrior unit did not fair well against the hydra, losing 9 warriors but they held.

DE turn 3.

Each unit of Witch Elves charged an organ gun, killing it in combat, though one nearly survived, passing 4 out of 7 6+ saves! The Cold One Knights charged the GW warriors to help the Hydra break them, killing 13, leaving only 19 alive, but he passed his steadfast break test. The spearmen foolishly charged the GW warriors, and even though I ended up killing 10 warriors and 3 IB, I lost combat by four and both teh spears and the corsairs failed their rerollable LD5 break tests. The spearmen barely escape his warriors, and the corsairs are not pursued. A hydra and some harpies charged the runelord, nearly running him off the board.

The Magic phase was uneventful, except for withering going off on his ironbreakers and reducing them to T3.
