<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We actually played this last week, but I'm only just getting to it today, sorry! With all that's going on at the moment, sometimes even just the thought of doing this upload is too much to handle.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today we actually played a battle companies game, but totally forgot to take any photos. Just as well as my son thrashed me completely!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, on to the Southfarthing. Right from the start I had a huge advantage. There are five objectives in play, I get to start with three of them! I also had Farmer Maggot thanks to a previous mission. In this mission any casualties can still come back on a 1 or a 2, because Oscar won the storehouse mission previously, he gets to come back on a 1, 2 or 3. We play until there are eight casualties at which point the game can be over on a 1 or 2 on a D6.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Firstly, check out some of my new scenery. Some mdf put together stuff that just needs a little assembly and painting up (maybe I'll show some of the other pieces in another post) but now we have a cute little windmill with round doors and windows just like Hobbits should have =)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So Oscar charged forward and my archers immediately took down one poor guy.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the next round the ruffadrim came right back on, choosing to make a sneaky assault on the objective behind the inn. The D8 you can see there is tracking guys I've taken out (hence the 1 in this picture).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Farmer Maggots trusty hounds are heading towards the ruffadrim down near the chest.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And you can see quite a few archers spread around, with other guys guarding different items.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As well as another incoming close combat troop!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And then another archer! In the back right you can see some Shirrifs coming to help the dogs (they're just half the speed!)</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's really not gone well for the ruffadrim, with seven casualties already, most of whom have come on the same side, but have not reinforced luckily. They have managed to take out a hobbit here...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And a growling dog seals the deal and the game is over, the ruffadrim were catching up at the end, but it was too little, too late and the hobbits win!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This mission seemed unfair at first, but as soon as the ruffadrim started getting more into the combat, the hobbits started dropping, it was just as well we ended when we did as I think the tide would have well and truly turned in the next couple of rounds.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the midst of a farmstead is a storehouse full of all the goods that the ruffians have stashed away. The hobbits are sick of the thievery and are planning to break in, grab some beer and pipe-weed and whatever else they need for second breakfasts.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are three ruffians sleeping in each of the small dwellings and two sentries at the storehouse. Twelve hobbits (six from each corner) are going to try to sneak to the storehouse then back off the table again. If they are seen the alarm is raised and the other ruffians will come yelling out!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's one group of hobbits, including my new guy blowing a smoke-ring which I'm particularly fond of! There are some traps right in the corner, so if I can get in, get the loot and get back to the corner I may be in the clear! Of course, with 4" movement, that's easier said than done!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well... the hobbits get within ten inches of the storeroom and I say the fatal words "this'll be fine unless you manage to roll a 6!" No surprises, a 6 is rolled and the jig is up! Out come ruffians as the hobbits run in and try to make a break for it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A very lucky Shirrif bonks a ruffian on the head as he races past (in this mission the ruffians are knocked down and on a 6 they can recover - but what are the odds of that happening!?)</span><br />

A secret meeting is being held by Lobelia and Fatty in a remote hobbit hole. They were all having a lovely time, Fatty and Tippers were enjoying the drinks while the others were talking about the encroaching ruffadrim. Suddenly they hear a loud bird call from the nearby forest, that's a signal that there are incoming baddies!</font></div><div><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div><div><font face="verdana">In this mission, the hobbits all have to scatter - run off a board edge, while encircling ruffadrim as well as the evil Sharkey and Worm try to capture them. However, because the hobbits won the last mission, after setup they can move D6 figures. So originally they were all evenly spaced around the hobbit hole, but then I rolled a 6 and moved six of them all over to one side. So instead of scattering in all directions, with ruffadrim all over the place, I now only have about two ruffadrim to get past - seems almost unfair!</font></div><font face="verdana"><br /></font><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR0quKgsAznqwhwAs-HBXrZnb290nGR7HAj4-Ezmaw2lZuaEXG2fV7E0exIJrmfpYzoI2hiO8F4QqfpK3fjrI_pwH3cPe5RVMJtZxKozw-fiqs25BlxUKzGXF2iCRvEIEwiYakXFD1sGw/s1440/IMG_3873+%2528Large%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font face="verdana"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1440" height="469" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR0quKgsAznqwhwAs-HBXrZnb290nGR7HAj4-Ezmaw2lZuaEXG2fV7E0exIJrmfpYzoI2hiO8F4QqfpK3fjrI_pwH3cPe5RVMJtZxKozw-fiqs25BlxUKzGXF2iCRvEIEwiYakXFD1sGw/w625-h469/IMG_3873+%2528Large%2529.JPG" width="625" /></font></a></div><div><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div><div><font face="verdana">The hobbits all bolt for it!</font></div><font face="verdana"><br /></font><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghcrz3zfQqPkTUkOUky7xSSEIU-mRDyOYx3fo5MEmwg-wpdkVO4f6Z_f11PpPjjXkUU_RTcsRGzd2aJtLrMXPZy34getyWpkuzSZli0VHAOMUN55dchV18EbWy-V3DRG6Rluq_oHUQLiw/s1920/IMG_3874+%2528Large%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font face="verdana"><img border="0" data-original-height="767" data-original-width="1920" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghcrz3zfQqPkTUkOUky7xSSEIU-mRDyOYx3fo5MEmwg-wpdkVO4f6Z_f11PpPjjXkUU_RTcsRGzd2aJtLrMXPZy34getyWpkuzSZli0VHAOMUN55dchV18EbWy-V3DRG6Rluq_oHUQLiw/w625-h250/IMG_3874+%2528Large%2529.JPG" width="625" /></font></a></div><div><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div><div><font face="verdana">Except Tippers who has had slightly too much to drink and just wanders around outside the hobbit hole door.</font></div><font face="verdana"><br /></font><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbXN5Txa_Sf8U62WVrLy91W4GxZlB0ar33_oyq26QGc2X-xUInv4_ZM0tOA-So-F5B4b5iv09dxNofQZlYngpb796yTr8zTuVnAEoIrKhrVhRyytOCTrJpnxcyMjX2R4OWAug_rMYx9VA/s1440/IMG_3875+%2528Large%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font face="verdana"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1440" height="469" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbXN5Txa_Sf8U62WVrLy91W4GxZlB0ar33_oyq26QGc2X-xUInv4_ZM0tOA-So-F5B4b5iv09dxNofQZlYngpb796yTr8zTuVnAEoIrKhrVhRyytOCTrJpnxcyMjX2R4OWAug_rMYx9VA/w625-h469/IMG_3875+%2528Large%2529.JPG" width="625" /></font></a></div><div><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div><div><font face="verdana">A ruffadrim catches up with him pretty quickly (they move 6" while hobbits only move 4") but fails to wound the wobbly hobbit.</font></div><font face="verdana"><br /></font><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiztWPtDGOq3ItR8uwUZb40RKgKRetMWkyo_gH38ajKszua0SXaX9eLt1qLXmtk55jsekBopOL9epd2HLVlBDEJpmtVm08bMVKnsu5QXQOxKIsVBEOLAWGfaORBNDRaF852UFa89XPZkUE/s1920/IMG_3876+%2528Large%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font face="verdana"><img border="0" data-original-height="942" data-original-width="1920" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiztWPtDGOq3ItR8uwUZb40RKgKRetMWkyo_gH38ajKszua0SXaX9eLt1qLXmtk55jsekBopOL9epd2HLVlBDEJpmtVm08bMVKnsu5QXQOxKIsVBEOLAWGfaORBNDRaF852UFa89XPZkUE/w625-h306/IMG_3876+%2528Large%2529.JPG" width="625" /></font></a></div><div><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div><div><font face="verdana">Another ruffadrim takes on two hobbits, but no damage is done except to slow them down a little. </font></div><font face="verdana"><br /></font><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXW2-dv_6aKjV1OvF1LP9wE2IOjTnwa7G1r-IO4Wng6FLwPm8XET4qZScfAldpBAwEo_5ksn5sqqRSjmqJyiM_FYe7QgLWtywvp67k8qNIfvkYxvpeH5NwytNJsnnez3EZCcjNMu9Iow0/s1920/IMG_3878+%2528Large%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font face="verdana"><img border="0" data-original-height="813" data-original-width="1920" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXW2-dv_6aKjV1OvF1LP9wE2IOjTnwa7G1r-IO4Wng6FLwPm8XET4qZScfAldpBAwEo_5ksn5sqqRSjmqJyiM_FYe7QgLWtywvp67k8qNIfvkYxvpeH5NwytNJsnnez3EZCcjNMu9Iow0/w625-h266/IMG_3878+%2528Large%2529.JPG" width="625" /></font></a></div><div><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div><div><font face="verdana">And as the clash continues the hobbits back him up against a fence and dispatch him!

The hobbits have been busy in this one, there may only be a few of them, but they have trapped the area! I made a whole bunch of traps. These are just miniature bases with grass on the top side. On the bottom, however, there are some that just have grass, some that represent pits, some that have trip wires and some that have snares. Pretty simple, you get close to one, flip it over and see if there's a trap. If there is you roll a die, on a 2+ something bad happens to you (not seriously bad, often it's more like it just ends your turn).</font><div><font face="verdana"><br /></font><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge8RiVf9MrrZaw9iNm-XX2G2YlE6xmctiHXHpC4qBu7gqWduluasarKdL0L6KwY2efnUFxa-kaRWPeNbTomXEiBP2qgKq0FwspEGwOxOCqRSIrCIkUprmfQbrbYb6ZJCYfM46rwZkd_Y8/s1920/Traps+%25282%2529+%2528Large%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font face="verdana"><img border="0" data-original-height="580" data-original-width="1920" height="189" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge8RiVf9MrrZaw9iNm-XX2G2YlE6xmctiHXHpC4qBu7gqWduluasarKdL0L6KwY2efnUFxa-kaRWPeNbTomXEiBP2qgKq0FwspEGwOxOCqRSIrCIkUprmfQbrbYb6ZJCYfM46rwZkd_Y8/w625-h189/Traps+%25282%2529+%2528Large%2529.JPG" width="625" /></font></a></div><div><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div><div><font face="verdana">So there are traps spread right throughout this forested area.

So we thought we'd have a go at these missions. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So in the first mission, Farmer Maggot's Farm, we have some ruffians (we'll use our old ruffadrim stand-ins) who are trying to creep by on a stormy night. They have to get off the far board edge but in between is some farm land and three dogs, Grip, Fang and Wolf. They start off sort of randomly patrolling around, but if they spot any foes they bark loudly, which may wake up Farmer Maggot who will then enter the game.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdZisqlg0_V-B4d9VVw47GiTsDLnL8yoYH4brtXl-RAq33vbKFvY0F9RKy_b_f0RRYj362LFmuXjoldmQDWKyZCg-ep9arYAfXZmZW3mX32RRLZxrlSBQC3f7yMOnqnHu1NPMIDAHJVnk/s1600/IMG_3859+%2528Large%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1088" height="634" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdZisqlg0_V-B4d9VVw47GiTsDLnL8yoYH4brtXl-RAq33vbKFvY0F9RKy_b_f0RRYj362LFmuXjoldmQDWKyZCg-ep9arYAfXZmZW3mX32RRLZxrlSBQC3f7yMOnqnHu1NPMIDAHJVnk/s640/IMG_3859+%2528Large%2529.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We skipped a few turns here as everyone just sort of moved around, and here we are right near the bottom of the board, the alarm has only just been raised and the ruffadrim are almost already at the end! Looks like they'll easily win this one!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Except that the dogs are pretty awesome, and there's only a narrow gap without tramping through the fields (at half speed). One ruffadrim goes down!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And their barking has woken up an angry Farmer Maggot! Some of the ruffadrim break off to try and get around the back, while another falls to the dogs!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finally the ruffadrim are reduced to two models, meaning they can't win the match, victory for the farmer (well, really his dogs!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My son isn't a super fan of playing matches against one another, so he found the mission in the book that is two companies teamed up against wargs. His Elven company is about 190 points or so, my Shire Protectors have passed 150 points. So we took on 24 fell wargs in a friendly competition to see which team could get the most warg kills. He has the numbers in terms of points, but I have more models, all of whom can shoot (if you call strength 1 stones shooting!).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We set up the board with our companies around a common campfire and four squads of six wargs on the board edges, ready to charge at us!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you can see, it's a tight perimeter, so if we keep in formation the wargs shouldn't be able to outnumber anybody.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The wargs always move first, but then normal priority rules apply. They are being ravenous and just charging straight towards the closest enemy model, not doing anything overly intelligent. The first warg casualty is an arrow to the face from the Elven company's sentinel (Shire Protectors 0, Elves 1).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So with a fairly poor shooting round last time, the wargs are now upon us with only three down so far. The elves hold their line steady, but some sub-par rolling means that there are no close combat warg kills. We noticed one gap between the beasts though, and the elven archers fire with pinpoint accuracy, taking down another warg (2-2)!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the Shire side things are looking, quite frankly, amazing! Jolly and Rory take on a warg and while Jolly wastes a small amount of beer to splash it in the beastly face, Rory smacks it with his Shirrif Stick (3-2). Cookie clongs his frying pan to the side of a warg's head while it tries to savage Loki, knocking it out of the match (4-2)! Hatless Harry sends an arrow through a warg eye, taking it out of the match (5-2)! M.C. and Andy team up to smack another warg down (6-2)! Go Hobbits! Skodi is pushed back by slavering jaws, which cannot penetrate his heavy dwarven armour. Hugo is less fortunate and a warg knocks him down to the ground with a paw as big as his head - he's out for the rest of the mission. The sentinel attempts to use a song to get a warg to back off, but the warg is too courageous and charges him. He fights off the warg, but only just barely!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hedger loses his combat (as seems to be usual!), but Cooper manages to take out another warg, clonking it on the head with one of his barrels of booze (which fortunately doesn't break - phew!) (7-2).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Shire takes on the next round buoyed by their previous performance! Stacking onto one warg, Loki and Skodi are assisted by three hobbits and take out another warg (8-2). The Elven team's sentinel teams up with Skodi, but it's the dwarf that takes out a warg (9-2). The Shire Sentinel counterpart is slashed to the ground as he tries to defend against a warg while next to him Farmer Maddock is similarly knocked out! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ithil-galad shows her company how it's done by charging Legrinsul into a warg, taking it out (9-3), the rest of the elves, however, cannot seem to make any headway into the wall of fur!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Shire Protectors and Elves team up, angry about the poor hobbit casualties. Skodi takes out a warg with his massive axe (10-3), assisting the Sentinel and hobbits. Next to them Tom, Andy and an elven archer take on a warg, with Tom the archer managing to take the advantage given by the others to smack his bow across the warg's head, stunning it out of the match (11-3). The nearby galahdrim archer fends off a warg, keeping it back! At the other end of the battle, Hatless Harry again manages to take out a warg! (12-3) At this stage my young opponent was not happy that the elves were doing so poorly and we had to have a bit of a break to calm down.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After a bit of a chat about how random the game can sometimes be, Col-galadh steps up and slashes a warg down (12-4) as the rest of the elves only barely manage to fend off the wargs. In one of the most hilarious combats of the match, the cockatoo is attacked by two wargs, but swoops around them in a dazzling display of aerial aptitude and uses its seed-cracking bill to take one of the wargs out! (12-5)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Elves and Shire join forces and this time it's the elf that takes out another warg (12-6). Finally the elves find their footing, Ithil-galadh charges another warg, taking it out (12-7) while Celeb-galadh steps up and uses a dazzling dagger display to take out another (12-8).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At this point we were almost out of time as we were about to head out for an appropriately socially distanced lunch with my parents so we were pretty much ready to call it a win for the Shire as the Elves would have to take out four wargs in a single turn for a draw. Ithil-galadh spurred Legrinsul into the back of a warg that was focused on the elves in front of it, and she took it out (12-9)</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And all along the line of elves that had been just barely holding on, the tide continues to turn dramatically against the wargs! Col-galadh steps forward slashing to take out a warg (12-10). Celeb-galadh similarly steps up aided by an elf with a spear who takes out another warg (12-11). And in the last combat with warg, Shire and elf it's the elf and his higher fight score that makes the difference and the last warg goes down (12-12)! From 12-3 to 12 all! The remaining wargs are taken out by expert elven swordselfship!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What an amazing catch up by the elves! They rolled poorly for the first part of the match, though their high fight scores and galadhrim armour helped them weather the blows until they could find their feet and slash their way from almost certain loss to a draw! We had a lot of talks about how random dice can be, but that over a long period of time the randomness turns into averages and, although in most games there aren't enough dice rolls to see that happen, we saw it a bit here!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With an excellent post-game reinforcement roll, the Elves now have two sentinels! As well as that, many elves had earned enough experience to level up! Ithil-galadh, who took out three wargs, now has Fearsome Charge, causing terror when she charges an enemy. Celeb-galadh, who dispatched two wargs now has Steady Aim, so he can move half distance and shoot without penalty. Thaun, the wood elf with a spear is now a Hero in the Making, receiving a point of fate and his galadhrim counterpart with a spear also is now a Hero in the Making! The elves rocket up to 240 points!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Meanwhile, the Shire team had numerous injuries, fortunately none of them critical, though Farmer Maddock will be missing the next mission. Cookie leveled up after getting another two kills - he has consistently done well and we decided that he could become a Knight and so now he has a Pony and the Pony Lord special rule (like the Horse Lord rule, but instead of all the Horse Lord benefits, he just gets the ability to ride a pony and charge like a horse would). Rory also joined him as a Hero in the Making! The Shire is now worth 179 points! They did remarkably well on that mission! I think if Hedger doesn't up his game, we'll be changing the company name from Hedging Bets to Cookie's Cutters!</span><br />

These beasties can really ruin your day, with three attacks and a higher fight value than any of my crew, if they get into close combat and roll a 6... well... let's just say that there may be hobbit bodies here, there, and everywhere!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some of the pictures didn't turn out so well, so excuse the slight gaps in the story! Loki is being held prisoner, he counts as unarmed and as long as three goblins stay around him he can't go anywhere. Meanwhile, the cave troll charges towards my squad. Arrows fly from Hedger, Tom, Harry and Geleth, they hit, but bounce off the tough troll skin!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The troll continues to charge down the hill, with arrows and rocks just ricocheting off the beast! Just before the troll charges, Tom's arrow manages to pierce the cave troll! And then a stone flung from Farmer Maddock also hits the troll in a very sensitive spot - it's down to one wound as it charges into the hobbits! I surround it with everyone and gulp as my son rolls the dice... a 1... a 1... and... a... 4! I have a chance, I just have to get a 5 with any of my eight guys. I roll a 2... a 4... a 3... a 1... a 3... a 2... a 4... another 4... and then... finally... a 5! Phew, that was almost a total disaster! Now I just need to roll a six! I get it first try with Hedger! Down goes the cave troll! Very anti-climactic, we were expecting to lose a few hobbits before the cave troll was defeated.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now onto the remaining goblins. Three snipers are up in the ruins, with a smattering of other goblins. We race forward, arrows flying from both sides, but no damage is done.</span><br />

Hedger scouts on ahead and finds an enormous black wolf held at bay by a swarming crowd of goblins. Never one to let an animal suffer, Hedger convinces the group to move forward and attack the goblins!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">About 120 points worth of goblins (and one goblin riding a warg) versus about 120 points worth of good guys!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fortunately, even though the goblins are many, they are a bit spread out, so as long as the rocks and arrows hit their marks, the goblins shouldn't be too tough, though if they can get into a lot of melee combats against hobbits there'll be trouble! Goblins have spears, so can get their two against one bonus - and against a combat weak hobbit that's a problem!

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And the archery continues! Hedger and Harry take out two goblins! Skodi and Cookie smack down another goblin - Cookie smacks his frying pan right into the goblin's chittering face, sending it to the gravel. Jolly, Hugo and Rory similarly gang up on a goblin, only winning because the Shirrifs have a massive fight value of 3 while the goblin only has 2! I think this turn turned the whole battle around, as the goblins were getting close to swarming us! Thank goodness that sometimes the archery works!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are fewer goblins now, but Hedger and Skodi continue to take on as many goblins as they can to spare the Hobbits. Skodi pushes a goblin away from the Hobbits. Hedger slips on something and the goblin lunges forward and takes him out! Hedger got one bow kill this game and did nothing else except distract goblins from Hobbits! Meanwhile, Hugo clonks another goblin in the head and knocks him out!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Vengeance is theirs as the Dwarf, Skodi, and all the remaining Hobbits pile in to thwack the final goblins down! They hear a cheerful barking and snarling sound in the distance and see the massive black wolf claw down two goblins as it howls in the direction of the Hobbits as it bounds away into the distance. Mission accomplished! But at what cost?!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Post game rolls - Loki rolls snake eyes - DEATH!?!? But then as we're making a fuss about what rotten luck we realise that the whole way through the game we had Hedger's stats wrong (I thought he only had 3 defence) so that he shouldn't have even been knocked out! So we fudged the results by one and had Loki roll a three instead. So our next mission will be trying to rescue him as he wasn't found after the battle - the goblins have dragged him off somewhere!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In better post-game rolls I got double sixes (thanks to the horn bonus) and got a Wood Elf Sentinel, Geleth, and another hobbit, Farmer Maddock. Also, Cookie rolled and got a six, promoting him to a Hero! A hero Hobbit with a frying pan! Skodi and Hedger also qualified for promotions. Skodi has decided that the Hobbits need protecting and so he is now a Khazad Guard, ready to lay down his axes for the little folk. Hedger has donned better protective armour and is now a fully fledged Ranger of the North. Here's hoping that will help him in future battles!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Why, the Shire Protectors leap into action (though some of them only at 4" a turn)! We thought it would be fun to have another good company to do some team missions later on with my son's elves. I really like hobbits, so we decided to put together a battle company that represents what may happen if something happened to a hobbit. We know that the Dunedain are always out there keeping an eye on the Shire, that dwarves trade and travel through the Shire and that every now and then there'll be an elf around. So we put together a company that is mostly Hobbits, but with a few extras that may appear from time to time. At it's core you always have to have more Hobbits than anything else, so it'll always look more like a Hobbit company than anything else. It's probably not that competitive, but should be fun =)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here's how we do our random patrols, roll a scatter die and a D6 for each goblin, they move the indicated direction by D6" (for goblins it maxes out at 5). It's a much quicker version than normal sentry rules, though loses some of the "back and forth" of swapping who moves them.</span><br />

As a sort of memorial we bought some wolves to paint so that we will have Wild Wargs, Fell Wargs and Wolves (Oscar thinks the wolves should be good guys as a sort of counterpoint to the evil wargs.) The wolves are from 40k, Fenrisian Wolves and the big wolf is a Winter Wolf from Nolzur's D&D range.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Anyway, we used Contrast Paints for the wolves and a lot of black paint for Monty! Contrast paints are so quick to use, though I feel the quality isn't quite as good as traditional methods. Still, only one coat and it's done! I also did a light drybrush over the top, but each model can be cranked out really quickly compared to the usual painting! Monty is quite an enormous model! If you click on the image for full size you'll see that Monty has a big bone with his name on it so we'll always have a reminder of him.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So what do you do when you quite like playing with beasts, but have always loved a little bit of narrative play? You make up a battle company to suit your purpose! The battle company book gives lots of good ideas, so I just made a starting company with the same number of points as all the other companies. It represents one of the beastcaller goblins (Druzhag and Ashrak) and their pack of beasts. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With so few models, and quick ones at that, the missions are fast and furious! I'm hoping the beastcaller will be fun and might go well against the elves, but then again, I'll probably have to make another hero army so that the elves are never in any "real" danger =) The beasts take a long time to level up, but can be extremely powerful, especially as the spiders start with two attacks and two wounds!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Again, this particular battle was based on a scenario that Don put up at the OSBGL (<a href="https://youtu.be/ZHPSta_Pol4" target="_blank">OSBGL battle report</a>) with the difference that for my son we wanted it to be a little easier so used goblins instead of orcs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over the previous week I used some old styrofoam and some twigs we found on a walk around the block to make some new scenery (the cave piece, the hill center left and you'll see some random scatter terrain with "logs" and a fallen tree bridge over the river. The hills are just layers of cheap packing bubble styrofoam stuff covered with some "no more gaps" filler. I then just pushed some rough cork into it while it was still wet to give it some texture, drybrushed it dark grey, then light grey. Then I just glued some flock onto the flat surfaces. They came up pretty well I reckon! The stuff with the twigs is even more straightforward. Just glue, sticks, a few rocks and some flock.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The basic set up for the mission was six goblins, three on either side of the river, who are just scouting around. They follow the sentry rules except that we use a scatter die from 40k to see which random direction they move in. A D6 is also rolled to determine how far they roam. If there is a turn where the elves are 6" away at the end of a turn, or if they shoot and hit but fail to kill a goblin then the alarm will be raised and goblins will start pouring out of the cave!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The elves need to just go from the bottom to the top of the map.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And here they are ready to begin their attack, archers in position! He snuck the elves forward a bit at a time, waiting until the goblins had priority so he'd know where they would be at the end of their turn.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ithilgalad charged forward at the last goblin on the southern side of the river, ably assisted by the cockatoo! The charge gave her two attacks, the cockatoo got another attack, making for three against one... no prizes for working out how that one ended! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Arrows continue to fly and another goblin falls! Oscar decided that he'd rather play it very safe and so the sniper system seemed to be working really well. He doesn't like it when his guys die, so the archery works well from that perspective! Three elves that hit on a 3+ and kill on a 5+ gives a good chance of taking down a single target (close to 50% without using might)!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The archers are crazy powerful and so far have yet to stuff up, though there's no more might points left to help if any shots go astray. If they do hit a goblin but fail to kill it, they'll be stuck on the southern side of the river while goblins pour out of the cave, which could be nasty as they'll get overwhelming odds fairly quickly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finally on the last goblin the three arrows fire, two hit, but both fail to wound and there's no more might on any of the archers to help modify the roll. The alarm is raised! Every turn now we roll a D6 and depending on the roll anything from a single goblin to a cave troll may emerge from the cave!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I asked what the rules of the bridge should be and Oscar came up with: if you're on the bridge at the end of your turn you have to roll D6, if you roll a 1 you fall off! In addition, after a combat, the loser also has to roll - if he's still on the bridge AND loses the fight he has to roll twice. Needless to say, he tried to get across the bridge as quickly as possible! Finally there's some close combat, goblins with spear support manage to get a few 2 vs 1 die attacks in, though fail to wound any of the elves with their heavy armour. The wood elves have much less armour, but can sit behind the more heavily armoured galadhrim and support with spears or shoot their bows so it's a nice mixed force.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cockatoo-eyed view of the battle, the goblins just keep pouring out more quickly than they can be put down, so the last elven point of might goes to calling a heroic move so that they can get away from the bridge ahead of the goblin horde. It's not running away, it's strategic withdrawal!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And finally they manage to pull right away, with 6" movement, the ability to move through the rough terrain at full speed and the goblins only having 5" movement, the elves manage to get away to safety, leaving a whole swarm of goblins shooting at their backs. We rolled for the last four arrows, they were shooting at Col-galadh, who has died in every other game... even though the goblins are hopeless archers three of them hit... and fail to wound. Oh well, that would've been hilarious (to me) if they'd managed to kill him on the very last turn!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And after the battle, in an amazing feat of dice rolling, two reinforcements are added and they're awesome ones, a wood elf sentinel (who can play songs that have various magical effects) and a special guard (in the white cloak) who has a pike and is just generally better at fighting and courage.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The missing adventurers mentioned by the Hobbit in the pub have put together a hasty barricade and it is under attack by some Ruffadrim! Some of the scruffy men continue their back and forth attack at the makeshift defences while the others note the bright white horse and head down to investigate. (These guys won't actually participate in the battle as they're all tied up with the adventurers.)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With their woodland skills, the Elves decide to use the terrain to their advantage and head into some rough ground.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The arrows from the Ruffadrim continually bounce and ricochet off Celeb-galadh's armour plating. He took arrow after arrow as the Wood Elves have Elven Cloaks and can't be fired at while obscured by scenery - making the Galadhrim the prime targets!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Col-galadh and Ecthel-galadh charge forward and Col-galadh wins the battle due to his fighting prowess (won on a tie!). One more Ruffadrim spearman goes down! (In this mission, to increase the difficulty a little at a time for my son, I let these guys use their spears and bows, along with the arrow poison.)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Col-galadh's cockatoo swoops in to help trap another Ruffadrim, ready for Ithilgalad to strike down from horseback.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The adventurers confess that they have received a treasure map, but that they may be underprepared for the task and offer the map to Ithilgalad if she grants them a finders fee if she is successful in obtaining the treasure!

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The King is supported by his two "robust" guards and accompanied by seven "tough chicks" as my wife and son like to call them. Given there's no female representation I had to source these from a range of companies and adjust their bases etc. to try and get them relatively sized correctly. They're not perfect, but I think they came up well enough and the colours blend them in with the rest of the Harad army.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My son asked for an Elven battle company so at Christmas (and his birthday which comes just after) we got a whole heap of elves. It has taken since then for me to get them painted up! He's super into Lord of the Rings and we even got out a Sindarin dictionary (well, looked it up online) so he could come up with names for his elves.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">His leader (Arwen model) is Ithilgalad, the sergeants are (Elrond) Col-galadh and (Haldir) Celeb-galadh. Then we have Brethil and Thaun the wood elf archers and Ecthel-galadh the Galadhrim with spear and shield. He chose all the colours and bases etc. and I painted them up to order =) We don't have hardly any wood elves (I just happened to have a couple that I'd obtained in random eBay finds) so it's a bit of a modified battle company!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We set up for the match with what he calls our Ruffadrim (we don't have ruffian models, but do have Haradrim). This is the mission where the battle company has to escape from a random board edge while the ruffians try to stop them. The story is that a Hobbit says he has a friend in need and invites the Elves into the pub to explain his quandary to them. While meeting the hobbit the Elves notice a shady character slip out of the door. Going to the window, Brethil reports that there are some shady looking characters approaching. The Elves tell the Hobbits to stay put and that they'll lead the newcomers away from the little town...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And in the most unfortunate of all events, in the middle of a COVID-19 lockdown, having waited months and months to get the company painted and ready to play, on turn 1 he charged three Elves at a single Ruffadrim. The Elves all rolled 1s and 2s, the Ruffadrim rolled a 6. No worries, Elven heavy armour will block that... and another 6! Yikes! Col-galadh fell immediately. This caused some grief and almost tears, but we had a chat about how in the first mission there's no ill effects, no rolls on the wound chart etc. and with a few deep breaths we continued on playing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Still, after the scary first turn, the Elves decided to hustle for the exit, keeping Ithilgalad safe and leading the Ruffadrim away from the Hobbits. They launched into the rotten Ruffadrim who caused so much angst and served him up some revenge!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finally, they all escaped and discovered that Col-galadh was merely knocked unconscious and recovered with no ill effects. Thanks to their excellent forestry skills they returned to the deserted hut in the woods where they recovered Ithilgalad's white elven horse, Legrinsul and Col-galadh was reunited with his loyal cockatoo (which they'd had to leave outdoors while inside the village). The remaining Ruffadrim all scattered, but the plot thickened! The Hobbit told a story about a friend of his who had been talked into going on an adventure (I know, I know, the shame!) with a Dwarf, a Human and an Elf! They hadn't been gone a very long time, but long enough that they're a bit worried. They pointed the Elves off in the direction they think they went and hope that the Elves can check on their friends. The Elves are very interested in what would make an Elf, Hobbit, Dwarf and Human all join together so will head off to investigate!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've ordered lots of single miniatures on eBay, though many of them have not showed up, I'm sure there are transport difficulties in lots of places at the moment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One that did show up was the Golden King of Abrakhan for my Harad army.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm also making him a "tough girl" harem using miniatures from other ranges (because there are almost no female LotR models.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So far I've got two, I carved off their hair and added some turbans.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I figured the Abrakhan Guard are ridiculously cartoony with their huge swords and huger guts so why not make my own Abrakhan Guard that are similarly silly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here you can see the King himself, flanked by two of his Harem (I haven't done any others yet) and some Watchers of Karna so you can see the same colour scheme I've used across the board for my Harad.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I tried to paint the flat sides and back as though they were wooden vertical planks. The lava base was fun, I put a stepping stone in the middle so that the poor guy at the back at least has something to try and step to! That amused me a lot =) The light is a bit bright on these photos!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was one of those weird things where I was reading The Two Towers and just got up to the bit where Frodo, Sam and Gollum meet Faramir and his rangers, so it was perfect timing to paint them. They're described as being wrapped in green cloaks with green masks etc. so they're painted in greens, browns and greys to blend in with the grey rocks and the like.</span><br />

I don't really want to buy a box of 70 of them, but it's really hard to find any on eBay too. So for now he's just going to have to make do with Galadhrim warriors.</span>simmuskhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11977189477509233747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881175103346560388.post-17866074629710124782020-03-01T15:09:00.002-08:002020-03-01T15:09:41.649-08:00Birdie num num<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We wanted to get some ravens for the dwarven battle company, but I couldn't find any good ones anywhere. Then I was watching my favourite youtube channel (Ontario Strategy Battle Game League <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWTtxrULnxndc39-P9p-kfw/featured" target="_blank">OSBGL</a>)and Don mentioned that the razorwing flock would work well for his Dunlending army.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I figured that they would just as well work for individual birds too. My son thought that since we are Australian that the birds should be themed more appropriately. So with a bit of painting and greenstuff we now have a magpie, hawk and cockatoo.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So that was a fun little project for the weekend!</span>simmuskhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11977189477509233747noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881175103346560388.post-21670490267483651102020-02-15T21:01:00.001-08:002020-02-15T21:01:17.668-08:00Battle Company Battle Report - Far Harad vs Dwarves<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My brother was up our neck of the woods so popped over for a quick Battle Company game. He used my Far Harad troops and I used my new Dwarves. My son rolled dice for me and the first roll was for scenario - Claim the Treasure!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tricky one as I'm slower, but pretty solid. We each had eight figures so it could really go either way.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We played on the ash wastelands board and set up a river down the middle with two main crossings as well as a whole heap of ruins, rocky outcrops and the like.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the north side of the board, the Mahud King on War Camel charged right into battle, taking out two of my dwarves and leaving just two archers, though I did manage to remove his camel!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then at the other river crossing my Vault Warden team and Boggle charged across to clash in the centre of the river! There was a bit of back and forth here and I took out one of his guys.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He then sprinted away from my guys there to bring his whole force to bear on the other crossing. This was a bold move, but unfortunately the dice rolled my way, he managed to roll a two to wound almost every time! In the end my other dwarves caught up and sandwiched him with dwarven shields. If he'd killed just one of my dwarves before the reinforcements arrived he'd probably have won the game, but that's the way the dice roll sometimes!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the end of the match all of my dwarves made full recoveries, Boggle gained an extra point of fight value, Brynmor gained an extra point of might and two more dwarves with shields joined the company.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With quite a few casualties the injuries rolls were actually pretty lucky, two miss next games and the rest made full recoveries. With the influence saved from last time we got one more camel upgrade and a warrior with shield. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All done and dusted including finding the guys, setting up the board, playing the game and doing the post-match stuff in under an hour. Battle companies are so great for quick games!</span><br />
