Face-off 2013 3rd place Moria Vs Rivendell

Last time time these two met was in the 1^st round of last year's face-off and it didn't go well for the elves. This time however, the elves simply have to evade through the goblin lines and vice versa for the goblins. Both sides have a similar number of models in their force. The elves have the advantage of warrior superiority, and a larger move rate. The goblins don't have much using the troll, as the elf captain could face it off in a fair fight, but they do have the goblin captain who is superior to the average elf.

Moria Vs Rivendell (Reconnoitre)

Deployment:

Two elves flank the goblin contingent while they concentrate their

attack through the centre

The troll is faced by a picket of elven spears and their captain

Swinging madly a the nearby spikes and catching the elves off-guard

Killing one and wounding the captain

The captain tries to deal with the troll himself

while the other elves hold the other goblins

And the goblin archers shoot arrows at the escaping elf

The elves completely fail in their combats, the captain and two others 

succumb to the goblin blades and the troll's hammer. 

The elves are Broken!

The goblin captain and troll try to escape the field before the elves are 

reduced to 25%, while their minions hold the elves

One elf flees, much to the disgrace of the Noldor

Beginning of the next turn another elf flees, reducing them to 25% !

Meaning it's a draw and the scores will be taken into account:

Moria = 7pts(drawing scenario) + 5pts(breaking enemy) +3pts(killing leader) = 15

Rivendell = 7pts(drawing scenario) = 7

A very close draw, but it's clear that the goblins had the upper hand, gained after the 3rd turn when three elves, including the elf captain, were felled. If the flanking elves had held his ground, then a major victory could have been achieved.

The troll gained his 9^th,10^th and 11^th kills, which puts him first in the most kills ranking. Closely followed by Duinhur with 9 and Lurtz with 7, but the winner of the final shall determine the victor upon that front.

The next battle is between The Fiefdoms and Isengard Raiders in Clash of Piquets.

Until then
