Captain Ildarik of the Dragon Guard is sent to the Dark Forest by
the "Young Nobles" faction of the Elvish court in Caledor that wishes
to forge a
closer bond to the Empire of Man; The reports of the search for the
Nemesis Crown is a perfect opportunity to provide a significant favor -
and yanking the stuffy dwarves by the beard is an added bonus.
Soon after arriving, Ildarik's scouts brings him reports of a
Dwarven warband that is snuffling around in the area, and he meets them
on the field of battle, near a ruined tower that was once an evil
Wizards tower.
On the left flank, dwarven quarrelers attempt a flanking move around
a ruined castle, through a small village, but the difficult terrain
means that they don't reach firing range until the game is over.
In the center, two units of dwarven heavy infantry advance on the
double, under fire from two units of archers and a unit of seaguard.
Amael keeps trying to cast Curse of
Arrow Attraction on any unit in range, but keeps failing -
either frying her own mind, or being effortlessly dispelled by the
natural dwarven resiliency to magic. No spell is successfully
cast in the entire game :-(
The first unit that reach charge range (at 1/3 strength!) is
countercharged by seaguard and silver helms together, breaks and is
run down.
The seaguard follow up with a charge against the other unit, while
the silver helms continue forward, overruninng a flame cannon that had
just trundled into range. The second dwarf infantry stand its
ground for a round, but is broken and overrun in the following
round.
Only the cannon and the wayward quarrelers remain at game end.
Elves: Destroyed units: 202+275+408+264+115+140; Table quarters: 100; General slain: 100; Captured standards: 200.
