This past Saturday the new Skirmish Gaming Club at the local games store (Sentry Box) had it's first official games.
We played a few games here and there to learn the rules earlier but this was the first official game day.
During the day the various members got in a 3 way battle, a 2 way battle and a 4 way battle.
Orcs vs Chaos Dwarves vs Goblins/Minotaurs
Elves vs Halflings
Orca vs Elves vs Halfings vs Chaos Dwarves
What follows is the Battle Report of the "Orcs vs Chaos Dwarves vs Goblins/Minotaurs" battle from the Orcs side of things.
The three armies approached the lightly forested area each moving forward to the place in a small copse of trees that held long forgotten magic gems.
|
The Minotaurs and Orcs reach the trees first with the Chaos Dwarves taking their time due to.....motivational issues, and a bad starting set of activation rolls. |
|
The Minotaurs and Goblins begin to search the trees but come up empty handed as the Orcs arrive on the scene and begin their own search of the area. |
|
Finally an Orc finds a magic gem and begins to move away hoping to get off the field, likewise the goblin horde also finds and begins to move some gems. Finally the Chaos Dwarves arrive to attack the flank of the Orcs and Goblins. A small skirmish occurs with the Orcs and a Chaos Dwarf is knocked down. |
|
Finally the Orcs manage to kill one of the Dwarves, but as they do the hulk of an Ogre shows up and smashes the victorious Orc to the ground, at the same time a second Dwarf appears and the combined effort of him and his leader another Orc is brought to the ground and killed. |
|
The Orc Chieftain falls under the combined attacks of Dwarves and Goblins, but he is tough and despite being pressed down and kept off balance maintains his position. In the north the second unit of flanking Dwarves has begun to push through the wall of Goblins. |
|
The Ogre and Chaos Dwarves push in and attack the Orc with the gem knocking him down in a mad melee to gain control of the magic rock. In the trees the Orc swordsmen engage with the Minotaurs in an effort to claim the stones for their shamans. |
|
The Orcs in the trees are no match for the larger, stronger Minotaurs and are pushed down and back in the frenzy of battle. The Orc Chieftan stays strong and despite overwhelming odds stands up madly slashing with his axe at the 4 opponents trying to bring him down. |
|
In the north the goblins hold their own, knocking down the chaos dwarf and begin to swarm him. |
|
The swarm of Goblins proves too much and while fallen two of the goblins swarm over the dwarf while a third ends his life with a dagger. |
|
The Orcs in the trees fair horrible and another Orc falls gored by the Minotaurs before the last Orc Swordsman runs for his life. The Great Orc Chieftan makes his last stand as the final three enemies he is engaging finally deliver more damage than he can stand and forces him to the ground for the last time. |
|
The final Orc recovers his wits and turns to meet his final doom as a Chaos dwarf and their Hobgoblin allies show up to end his life. |
As killing swept the battlefield the main engagements took place between the Orcs and Chaos Dwarves leaving a fairly open corridor for the Goblins and Minotaurs to grab and escape with the magic gems.
