Played two games today with my Easterlings.
First was 500pts against Uruk Hai. He had about 8 crossbows behind a shield wall and a line of pikes behind the crossbows, 6 berserkers and 2 captains.
Mission was Kill the king (kill the enemy leader)
Wasn't that interesting for most of the part as he sat in the far corner for half of the game taking pot shots at my easterling phalanx.
Once I got there with my reduced numbers is was a bloody fight, I thought I did pretty well despite it being my third game, and first game with the easterlings. I managed to transfix a berserker at one point, blocking the way for the other berserkers and making them outside of charge range
Khamul died horribly.. lucky rolls, 2 attacks, I lost combat.. then my opponent rolled 2 6's to wound.. and then I failed both my fate tests. So that was that game over!
Second game was against another Easterling army, cant remember exactly what he had.
It was 600 pts so I took Amdur, makes a great center piece in the phanlanx.. especially with his banner rule!
My phanlanx hit his much smaller shield wall and ripped most of them apart...
He had the Dark Marshall.. and I had the GREAT idea of using Sap Will on him.
Almost worked...
And then he did it to me later on and I failed to dispel it, and khamul was banished
I was stupid, amdur took 2 wounds in a combat against a morgul blade. failed both my fate tests but I didnt think to use my Might to increase the dice number, D'oh!
I eventually whittled him down, feeding the Dark Marshall enough warriors to reduce his Will until he was banished.
I won because I had the center objective
