Chief Hugh and I just finished a lovely point match. I played Haradrim allied with easterlings and he played a pure mounted rohan force. The match started off well in my favor as he suffered greatly from my many arrows. In fact, he lost 8 of his 18 riders. Then we met in melee combat ... he took me down from 31 to 14 untis in 2 rounds. All in all it was a good game, all I have to say is those royal guards and sons of erol are not to be trifled with. Their defense is through the roof! They are a force to be reckoned with, no doubt! |

Sounds like a fun match! Which Heroes was he using? Going in with 18-20 minis in a ballsy move but it looks like sometimes quality trumps quantity. |

Sounds like a good game, how many points were you playing? |

The big question in my mind is what about the terrain? Those all mounted Rihanna armies just stagger if you can't draw them into terrain. |

I used amdur, golden king, a generic chief, a bunch of watchers of karna, warriors of harad (with improved shooting) and a phalanx of easterlings. My briggest problem was that i didnt bring my light infantry to bear soon enough. However, my archery was stellar, i was able to fire off about 9 shots per round and killed at least one model every turn. |

I still say you should have been in terrain. Beating all mounted armies is easy, just don't line up neatly on their lawn. |

However, the objective marker was in the center of a field. It was going to happen eventually, the lining up I mean. In all fairness, we played until one of us broke, and when I broke, he was 1 away from breaking as well. So, it wasn't a complete massacre. I made a few poor tactical decisions (like killing a horse when I should have killed a rider), and I never brought my light infantry in for a charge until it was too late. |
