Well, happy new year followers!
The Isengard Raiders replace the previous winners, The Serpent Horde, and face the Easterlings. One of the three sides with decent armour for their warriors and heroes, yet this will probably be negated due to the high strength of the Uruk-hai.

Because of the size of the board, the sides will be placed in two adjacent corners and have the artefact at the opposing end. The artefact will have to be carried off a different board edge fora victory to be achieved.
Deployment:
 |
| The archers of both sides face-off, to little effect |
 |
| More shooting, but nothing gives. As the sides approach each other, the next priority roll may decide who gets the dig first |
 |
| The captain gets lucky and orders his men to form a wall, blocking the path to the digging site |
 |
| Lurtz orders the half men into the wall, knowing they have the advantage |
 |
| Lurtz and co. charge the wall, an Uruk vaults the hedge but is surrounded by easterners, and the captain is halted in his digging process |
 |
| Lurtz carves his shield and sword into the easterners, while the vault Uruk is also killed |
 |
| Another Easterling becomes man-flesh |
 |
| The captain seizes the moment and digs hurriedly for the artefact as his men's lives are at stake |
 |
| The Raiders appear to be on top over here |
 |
| A bowman is cut down |
 |
| The Easterlings are slaughtered after their foolish challenges, leaving the Easterlings Broken |
 |
| The only bright side is that the artefact is found! |
 |
| The captain manages to summon his courage(-1will) and rally three of his men, the other man flees |
 |
| His men stall the uruks while their captain tries to salvage a small victory |
 |
| Lurtz wins the heroic move roll off, while they cannot attack the captain, he attacks a single uruk |
 |
| The other Uruks mop up the Easterlings |
 |
| Two of the three succumb to their blades |
 |
| Lurtz and co. waste no time in surrounding the two remaining Easterlings |
 |
| And they are butchered |
Giving the Uruk-hai a major victory! (18-4)
The Easterlings were totally outfought, the higher fight value meant that the Easterlings had to move around the Uruk-hai to gain any advantage, yet since they had the same move rate, also their advantage in archer defence was not utilised either, and their captain couldn't compete against normal warriors.
Overall a total loss for the servants of Sauron.
The next battle is the start of the semi-finals, the Fiefdoms face-off the Elves of Rivendell in Reconnoitre.
Until then
