A little more "Fantasy Warriors".

 I had myself a game of "Fantasy Warriors", I put the Orcs up against my recently completed Northmen.

The battle starts just before dawn and after some  exchanges of archery the Orc shaman expends his power to delay the dawn.

Then the Northman wizard does his stuff and brings the Sun up to the discomfort of the Orcs and Trolls.

The Orc wolf riders crash home doing no little damage to the Northmen who struggle against the giant wolves.

The Northmen have some Dwarf allies armed with crossbows. They inflict a lot of damage to the Orc Warchief's spearmen unit causing them to become shaken and disorganised.

The Trolls are threatened by a unit of Northmen and become shaken, their Barbarian Battleleader is trying to reassure them that they have nothing to fear.


The battle on the Orc right is fierce and could go either way.


Then disaster strikes for the Orc Warchief as he attempts to rally his spearmen. The unit routs and he is swept away with them.


Another bad dice roll sees the Barbarian swept away by his Trolls.


The subsequent Command Tests see the two remaining Orc commands flee the field.

Victory to the Northmen!.


A canny game if a bit short, the Northmen narrowly avoided being badly affected by the Orc wizard's Portent of Doom spell. They may have fled the field before the Orcs did, the daylight made the difference.

Interesting.

  2. Sounds like a cracking game and a good result for the northmen! I've not found many examples of fantasy warriors games online, so thanks for pointing me to this one. The plastic orcs look good, funnily enough I've just taken delivery of a load of them, and the dwarves, earlier today!
