The Goblin Horde Vs rogue Gondor (100pts) (Take the high ground)
Deployment:
 |
| .......... |
 |
| .......... |
 |
| The forces ascend onto the hill, one man trips on his way up. |
 |
| One of the goblin archers was clearly trained |
 |
| The lines are formed, and arrows are exchanged |
 |
| The battle lines join |
 |
| Two men fall under the weight of numbers, the rogue captain ducks beneath the troll's attacks and pierces it deeply. |
 |
| The rogue captain charges the beast again |
 |
| And smashes his hilt at the troll's nose, rendering it unconscious A goblin and man are wounded either side. |
 |
| The game continues despite the rogues being broken |
 |
| Fighting |
 |
| The rogue captain has a wound saved by fate the other captain beheads one of the other three men left |
 |
| The game continues |
 |
| The Rogues clearly at a disadvantage |
 |
| The rogue captain wounded, and his last man downed |
 |
| And the game ends! |
The troll sat slumped, bleeding from the nose. None of the goblins had gathered enough courage to mop the brown blood pouring onto the troll's stomach.
They had won the battle, but the news was bleak.
If a small rogue company could incapacitate the troll, the goblin horde was losing it's skill in this world. Maybe a siege on Minas Tirith was too soon.
The Rohan captain had taken up scouting duties, he was cantering through the brush. No orders yet, but he was hopeful. Until.
Glinting on the horizon, mail that suggested. More than one suggested a troop.
It was unlikely than Minas Tirith had fallen, yet an orc troop could have been sent north to trap them at the Cair Andros defences. Behind him a one of his men rode up to him.
"Ill news captain" He said.
"Well, we have a troop approaching from the south, most likely Gondorian." The captain responded.
"It is, a rider came before you came out sir. Nethar is coming to us-"
"That is good news? how could it be bad?" The captain interrupted.
"A new company has been seen at Cair Andros, and more peasants there too."
"So, we are to attack Cair Andros?"
Until then
