OOPS! I just discovered that I did not finish this battle report from last June! Well, hopefully late is better than never. Good thing I have some pictures at least.
This game was a revenge attack from the Great Raid launched in the previous year against the Midlish Kingdom's Eastern Frontier. (See Fight at the Ford and the stop motion video report on the following clash).
This game followed a year later when the Midlands launched a revenge raid against the Valdurian province of the Northern Federation. In expectations of a counter raid, border guards were posted along the frontier to watch and raise the alarm if, or when, it came, and to hold until relieved.
ALARM! SOUND THE HORNS! TO ARMS!
LIGHT THE BEACONS!

| The Valdurian light troops relied on ambush and missile fire to slow down the invaders until help arrived. |
 |
| After a fierce and bloody fight, the Black Knight, Captain of the Pass and Commander of the expedition, fell prisoner to the Captain of the Federation Horse Guards and the battle was over. |
 |
| Legend has it that the ghosts of the fallen rise and fight amongst the woods and fields each year on the night of the anniversary of the battle. |
I did wonder.
ReplyDeleteA "Forget" spell np doubt.
DeleteIs anyone going to pay the ransom for the Black Knight?
ReplyDeleteA nice looking game and worthy of (finally) being posted!! Will there be more of the Hosts this year? I do hope so...
It was the thought that I was overdue to finally write another post on this blog that led me to find my gaff so a new game and post or 3 are on the books, as is some downsizing in scope in order to make games and story lines easier, and to let me downsize the collection of miniatures.
