"Fantasy Warriors" hits the table: part two.

 Today I got back to my game of "Fantasy Warriors" so without further ado...

After advancing aggressively the Orc archers are wiped out by the steady volleys of crossbow bolts from the Dwarves.

On the far flank the Trolls led by their Barbarian Battle Leader crash into the Human Foot Knights.

And a Dwarf Battle Leader may be in trouble.

Confrontation!.

An Orc Battle Leader and one of his units flee the field causing all the other leaders to test their mettle.

With some deft axe fighting the Dwarf Battle Leader fells the Troll.

The Foot Knights are destroyed and their Battle Leader killed, they kill one Troll but the demise of the Battle Leader causes disorder among the Dwarf ranks.

The Orc War Chief changes orders to Attack and his spearmen charge into the Dwarf Axemen.

More Orcs charge into the disordered spearmen.

The Troll slayer meets his doom!.

Fierce fighting against the Dwarf Axemen sends these Orcs into Bloodlust, which means they will fight even harder. 

The disordered Dwarf spearmen are struggling and are soon beset from three sides and eventually defeated.

The Dwarf War Chief has joined in the fighting but eventually falls, the last Dwarf battle Leader quits the field and victory goes to the Orcs despite the daylight hurting their little eyes.

A canny game, I did a few things wrong rules wise but nothing too drastic. I need to learn how to use the orders system better though as once an order is given it is not easy to change it. I probably need to invest in some Courier models.

 With hindsight I should have given the Dwarf crossbow command an Oppose order and the Humans and Axemen Hold orders instead of the other way around. But that is the game, commands are only allowed to operate within their orders... serious stuff!.
