Title: Bretonnians v's Orcs....... battle report, 3,000 points
Post by: calmacil on October 11, 2010, 01:43:50 AM

Bretonnian�s against Orcs

A warmaster battle report, 3,000 points

The two significant terrain pieces were the hill on my left, and the forest to the right. I intended to reach the hill first with as many infantry units as I could. I split my brigades apart so I had roughly a 2:1 ratio of character to brigade.

My Break Point with Orcs is 20
Bretonnians Break Point is 7 ��.. (he had 3 grail knight units and 10 knights)


My list;
Orc General
1 Orc Hero with sword of fate, rides in a chariot
3 Orc Heroes
1 Orc Shaman
1 Goblin Shaman with scroll of dispelling
2 Goblin Shamans

13 units of Orc Warriors
12 units of Goblins
9 units of Chariots
3 units of Boar Riders
3 units of Rock Lobbers



Here�s the deployment.

We both really enjoyed that game. Very difficult to call until the last turn. Hills really made a big difference for my infantry, without them i wouldn't have held back the cavalry charges.

Great report and a great game.
Near wins/losses are always more fun than doing/being steam rollered :)

It was a standard 6ft x 4ft table. At first we didn't think we'd be able to fit all our troops on, but there was plenty of room.
Lots of people around, many were interested in warmaster. It was the throne of skulls tournament on as we were playing.

Nice battle rep! It's good to see a 3K battle. Most of the games we play in our group are 3 - 4 K as we see the grand sweep of the game when you play with larger forces.
