EDBAG HOTT Campaign - 2nd Night

We kicked off our second night of the HOTT Campaign. Once again I found myself pitted against Mark and his 3 Magician Army. I was the attacker in this battle.

Mark had a bad run of pips, rolling 3 1's in a row for movement...Needless to say that Die was cast into the bag from whence it came.  This allowed my forces to close with him, with most of the action on the right flank. Things were not going well however as I lost my Riders and a Behemoth. Then things changed as my Hero plowed into the warbands with a Behemoth supporting. My beast unit had run around the outside of the map and made a rush towards the stronghold.

The battle in the centre saw my Blade General and 2 spear elements close with the mages and destroy one. Mark was able to enscorcel my Hero, but lost the battle as the beasts pillaged the stronghold. This victory gave me a Mountain tile, of which 4 are needed to win the campaign.

The second battle once again saw me defending a mountain from Mark. This time I was fortunate to have the assistance of an allied contingent who rode into the field on the second turn. Mark attempted to force the one flank.

The battle was on with the Hero and a Behemoth holding off the Magicians and Knight. The hero was able to destroy 2 of the Magicians before I lost my Behemoth. By this time Bruce had ridden into the rear of the Elves and managed to bag one of the Shooters in the woods finishing the battle.

Overall a very good night for my force of Goblins. Things could very well have been reveresed had Mark managed to roll more than 1's and 2's on his Command Pip's.
