Gone



Saves for the Black Guard:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

6 + 5 = 11

I swear I haven't just copied the same roll twice....

[forgottenlor]

Hamete seems good at that. Duplicate rolls seem to come up alot on different dice.

6 + 4 = 10

4 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 6 = 36

[forgottenlor]

On to close combat:

3 + 6 = 9

And now it has suffered 4 wounds, so just 1 wound left

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

Saved

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hydra attacks back:

3 + 5 + 6 = 14

3 wounds at -3AS

~ 3 wounds at -3AS, 4 wounds at -2AS and 1 wound at normal saves on the White Lions

I think that will wipe the unit out, as they only have heavy armour...

[forgottenlor]

You did. And I missed slaying the Hydra by 1 wound. Well, we'll see what the last round brings.

Your turn.

[Beithir Seun]

Right, let's kick off the final turns then!

First up, I have two charges to declare - the Dreadlord's Spearmen and the Master will both charge the final three White Lions (I'm not sure whether the Spearmen can reach, but it's close enough to risk )

What will your reaction be?

[forgottenlor]

Well, destruction awaits the unit regardless, so I'll hold.

[Beithir Seun]

Here are my moves for the final turn then:



Assuming they're OK, I'll move onto shooting

EDIT: Ignore the white square - I obviously forgot to fill it in


First, also assuming that the Hydra can see you mage in the wood, the beastie will try to fry your squishy wizard:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

2 = 2

Fails, so it doesn't really matter whether the Hydra can see



Next, the two Bolt Throwers will both fire Volleys at the Shadow Warriors:

Result of the throw of dice "12d6" :

2 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 6 + 3 = 40

2 hits, one from each RBT

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

1 + 1 = 2

Ha! Both fail to wound

Finally, the Dark Riders will take a final potshot at the last Seaguard:

Result of the throw of dice "5d6" :

6 + 4 + 2 + 5 + 6 = 23

2 hits

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

1 + 2 = 3

Neither of those wound either


Onto combat, and you strike first. Any attacks against the Dreadlord are reduced to half WS thanks to the Ring of Darkness

[forgottenlor]

I'll put all of the attacks on the master:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

2 + 4 + 4 = 10

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

4 + 3 = 7

2 saves -3.

[Beithir Seun]

1+ AS reduced to 4+:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

1 + 6 + 6 = 13

1 wound goes through, leaving him with just 1 wound left



Master attacks back:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

5 + 4 + 6 = 15

3 hits

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

4 + 4 + 5 = 13

3 wounds at -1AS


Dreadlord:

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

1 + 6 + 5 + 4 = 16

Reroll for Hatred:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

6 = 6

4 hits

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

4 + 2 + 4 + 6 = 16

4 wounds at -3AS, which means the White Lions are dead



That also means it is now your final turn

[forgottenlor]

Okay, I'm just digging for points this round.

Master of Stone on the orange shades:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

3 + 3 + 2 = 8

Crow's feast on the dark riders:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

6 + 6 + 5 = 17

Well I guess I can proceed then, since only the first spell is dispellable.

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

2 + 4 = 6

Result of the throw of dice "6d6" :

6 + 6 + 4 + 3 + 5 + 1 = 25

4 saves there.

The shadows will shoot at them as well:

Result of the throw of dice "7d6" :

5 + 6 + 5 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 5 = 26

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

4 + 3 + 6 + 3 = 16

And the last sea guard shoots there as well:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

3 = 3

misses.

A total of 6 saves for the dark riders so far. If its okay I'll wait for your saves and dispel attempt before firing my bolt thrower.

[Beithir Seun]

Dispel Master of Stone:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

6 + 1 = 7

Nope


5+ AS:

Result of the throw of dice "6d6" :

1 + 6 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 3 = 15

.......


Only 1 save, so that's all 5 dead

[forgottenlor]

Tough choice for the bolt thrower. I'll shoot normally at the Hydra. 2+ to hit, 5+ to wound, -2 saves

Result of the throw of dice "6d6" :

3 + 1 + 2 + 5 + 3 + 1 = 15

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

3 + 4 + 1 + 3 = 11

Oh well. The chances of killing it were less that 50%.

I've got one unit, and though I killed lots of support units, I think you still have enough for a massacre. You've got a nice army. Its got a good mix of shooting and close combat units, and its fast. Good game, Beithir. If you ever want to play another one let me know.

[Beithir Seun]

Thanks for the game ForgottenLor! I'm very surprised it ended quite so one-sided, especially as I have never used the army before and built it off the top of my head. My previous Dark Elf armies have all been pants, but it seems I might have stumbled on a good combination

I would love to play another game in the future, so whenever you feel like playing just give me a shout
