And Don't Bring Hordes to a Knight Fight!

 Ahiahi marie ano, Good afternoon again,

Game two. Goblins vs. Orcses. Hordes vs. Warband.

For the second game we both brought out our Greenskins. My Raetian Goblins against his Orcs.

Raetian Goblins

• Rider General
• 1 Rider
• 2 Beasts
• 1 Flyer (Bats)
• 6 Horde
• 2 Bow
• 1 Behemoth (Storm Giant)

Orcs

• 1 Knight General (Chariot)
• 1 Knight (Chariot)
• 2 Behemoths (Trolls)
• 1 Hero
• 4 Warband

I was defender again, so I set up with marsh protecting my flanks and the Horde in the centre. Close to my camp. For easy redeployment.

And, again, I waited for Robin to advance to me.

And advance he did.

After an early success (lowly Horde pushing back his Knight General!)...

...I soon learnt that you don't bring Hordes to a Knight fight!

Nothing much for it, time to throw in the flanks.

...which didn't do much.

In fact...

...quite a bit less than much!

Even my mighty bats...

...well, you get the picture!

Indeed, quite a picture! Actually, I don't think I killed a single element! 

And a good time was had by all!

Thanks Robin, it was great to catch up.

Don't Mess with Knights on a Hill...

Ahiahi marie, Good afternoon,

And welcome to the first match of last night's event...

Last night I popped round to Robins for a couple of 20mm HOTT games. I firstly rocked out my Sarmatians...

• 1 Knight General
• 9 Knights
• 1 Dragon

...where as Robin broke out his Chaos army...

• 1 Hero General
• 3 Knights
• 3 Blades
• 2 Flyers
• 1 Dragon

As I was the defender, I set out a long ridge, sat upon it, and let Robin come to me.

Which he did with his flyers. Nasty, sneaky, tricksy flyers...

I dispatched a couple of Éored to face them off...

...which they completely ignored, flew off, away, and over.

All while Robin's Dragon appeared. Gulp.

Seeing as everyone was now in charge distance, the Sarmatians, well, charged.

With some considerable success.

While I kept the flyers pinned down. if not in combat.

More crunchy crunchy on my right...

 ...and Kablooee!

No Dragons were harmed in the making of this battle report.

Thanks Robin, that was fun!
