RECENT BATTLE REPORTS
Michael Walsh

DBF 300 pts on 15.9.99 Undead with Orc allies defeated Lizardmen after killing the Lizardman CinC mounted on Triceratops which had crushed most of the skeleton warband. A close game. [17 Sep 1999]

Jason Schmidt

A simple meeting engagement using AoA, Orcs vs. Dwarves. The Orcs came on strong on the right flank with Wolfriders easily slicing through the unlucky xbows facing them. The center was much nicer for the Dwarves; the two-axe troops made mincemeat of the orc spears sent to try and take them. Left flank was a muddle; some Orc big-uns tangled with the elite Dwarves on bears and tigers and neither seemed to be making headway. The game ended quickly when the cursed Wolfriders (may they thrice be damned) managed to take the terrain objective the Orcs were after (mineshaft) and then on the next turn kill the Dwarven general. Uhh...is that enough? [10 May 99]

carla.posta

Huge 6mm battle (Undead VS Arabians) using DBM with fantasy rules add-ons, lasted about half a day (1200 pts per side). [23 Apr 99]

David Ward

A real slaughter for the other side. Heros die hard but if you kill them fast, it take out the heart of your opppnent. [8 Apr 99]

Bob Slaughter

We enjoy FR! very much; flexible rules that allowus to play rather than argue. Fast enough that the pizza doesn't get too cold. [6 Apr 99]

Al Pare

Dark Heaven Apocalypse - Vampires versus Dwarves. Approximately 120 figures in the Vampire army and about 230 in the Dwarven army. Battle lasted about 2 1/2 hours with the Dwarves winning by a narrow margin. [6 Apr 99]

Casper Renes

A quite massive 10000 point warhammer fantasy battle, with only little magic, it was quite enjoyable. Good Guys (Empire, Brettonia, High Elves, Dwarfs) vs. The Bad Guys (Undead, Chaos Warriors, Chaos Beastmen, Orcs, Lizardmen, Skaven, Dark Elves) 2 Players aside me commanding the Empire and the allied command (elfs & dwarfs) according the rules we wonm, but I call it a bloody draw. Strange things happened (whole units rolling 1's, a mere champion with a 25 point magic item defeating a lord character Anyways, curse of the years, proved quite deadly, again, to my unfortunate troops The battle took so long to complete, i think we will be using DBM with some modification next time. [23 Mar 99]

Kevin Reagan

Skeletons vs Goblins; used Armati rules Intro scale 25mm, Skeletons were Romano-British and the Goblins were German warband. Undead kicked butt due to the LHI having bows and feathering the approaching warbands. Plenty of terrain made it interesting.... several very nasty fights, all out of support of one another [22 Mar 99]

Jack Sheriff

Gondor vs. Barad-Dur, 6mm figures, based for 25mm, using DBA with supplement. [17 Mar 99]

Peter-James Palmer

It was a Hordes of the Things run-through which was pleasant enough, although too abstract for my taste. I'm more interested in a medieval rules set with a limited magical section that still allows me to fight the non-human armies without the same old factors, and that doesn't rely on buckets of dice or individually based figures. [17 Mar 99]

Chris Craft

My last game was Warhammer Fanatasy, I was The left flank of the army. I had about 1200 pts. of Empire and fought off about 3000 pts. of Dark Elf and Goblins. The highlight of the game was when Ogres charged my poor halflings. The Ogres failed to hit and my halflings hit several times in return and cause two wounds. Unfortunatly my opponent rolled two 6's for save thus forcing a tie on wounds caused. The fight between the Ogres and halflings would have been written about for centuries to come if only my opponent didn't roll boxcars. Just think, halflings running down routing Ogres. [16 Mar 99]

Steve Massey

A teaching scenario at the local game shop, De Bellis Fantasticus (slightly modified), Orc's vs. Elves. After looking to be completely crushed, the Elves rallied & drove the Orc's from the field, & a good time was apparently had by all. [15 Mar 99]
