--- Kidhammer Battle Report---
The battlefield:
A plain with scattered boulders and a couple of small buildings. ?
The forces:
Alek's Atrocious Annihilators:
1 Space Marine, armed with a bolter
1 Wizard, armed with magic missiles and a staff
1 Chaos Warrior, armed with a greataxe
1 Imperial Guardsman, armed with a lasgun
1 Pit Fighter, armed with a flail and a spiked gauntlet
Ethan's Egregious Entrails Eaters
1 Imperial Noble, armed with a duelling pistol, rapier, and dagger
1 Chaos Warrior, armed with a sword
1 Mercenary, armed with a bow and an axe
1 One-armed Mercenary, armed with a sword
1 Hobbit, armed with a bow
The Battle:
Setup:
Alek concentrated all of his forces behind one of the buildings at his left flank. ?Ethan split his forces, putting the Noble and the one-armed merc on the side that Alek was contesting, and putting the remainer of his forces on the uncontested flank. ?
Turn One:
Alek, eager to get his troops to within firing range, moved them around the building. ?Ethan moved the main force from cover to cover and charged his pair directly towards Alek's position. ?
Turn Two:
Alek moved his forces foreward, and the Space Marine was within firing range of the one-armed merc! ?He opened fire, hitting his own model with the die and rolling a two! ?A miss! ?This stunning failure proved to be too much for our young general, and he abandoned his troops in favor of running around the living room with a toy ray gun, declaring that he was a robot. ?
Conclusion:
Alek mastered how to measure movement by the beginning of his second turn. ?He had no trouble with the dice, except for that two at the end, which he claimed fell within the range of "5+." ?I suspect deceit. ?We didn't get to practice shooting enough for me to see if he really got it, and no close combat occured at all. ?He seemed to be a bit intimidated by all of the rules (1.25 pages of 'em!), fearing that he would never be able to keep track of them all. ?When asked if he had fun, he answered, "Yes." ?
As far as Alek's generalship went, I give him high marks. ?By concentrating all five of his models on only two of mine, he exhibited sound tactics. ?I fully expect that I would have gotten trounced if the game had continued.
