Chaos vs Dark elves 1500pts
« on: May 01, 2012, 09:13:06 AM »
That was an improvised battle. Some units of dark elves has to use proxis of chaos.

It was an exciting battle but end abruptly because there was no more time left. By the way it could say it was a dark elf victory.

As chaos general I made a huge error. Main clash of the battle was: chariot+dragon ogres+chaos warriors should charge to 3  unit of cold ones+ general on chariot. I charge with the chariot first and when trying to charge with the dragon ogres (and then with the warriors) my general fail!
That means that only chariots will face 2 unit of cold ones +general on chariot. They lost and dragon ogres kill chariots and advance to dragon ogres flanking them and crushing them. That was a rooky error made by me.

But lets go to see the battle:

There were empty indeed, played vs a rooky (he came from WHB), and have only two hours. So we go for a simple open battle with four simetrical impassable zones.

Just advance, attack, roll some spells and feel warmaster.

It is interesting, he knew the mechanic of command, and no more rules, not even the units profile, so I told him... that is heavy cav, light cav, dragon ogres are really nasty and few tips like that, and no more time to explain much more. He did very very well, because he manage to control an army (not feeling like moving isolated units), an make quick warfare decissions. It is curious because he always wanted to attach the general with chariot to the hot point of the battle, and that works for this battle.

Ironically he plays better and I made a starter error with my charges so he had a well earned victory.

Very nice to see the Chaos in action too, they're still one of my favourite armies to play.
Looks like a nice, balanced game.

No no no, it was part of cunning plan to get him hooked by letting him win, so he will want to play again.  ;)

"Baldric, I have a cunning plan...."   8)

I really hope that player can play more often WM with us, he is more into WH and similar games, and we need more WM players here!! :(

JChaos played bravely that game. We all learn from mistakes.. I mean.. cunning plans ;)
