The Battle of Lyeldil

Amanda decided she’d had so much fun playing he battle on the tabletop that she’d like to play out her second battle. Especially since it seemed like it would be a short one and we would both be able to get in bed at a decent hour even after I prepared all of the evenings reports.

I was keen to play it out as well to see how games with greatly reduced forces would play out.

Well.. they play QUCIK!!

THE GAME


(Remember: click on the pictures for a bigger version)


The Narns array for battle


The Elves prepare to defend their homeland.


Amanda recruited a little helper – Princess Keira (future conqueror of nations) was official dice-roller for the elves.


Some sneaky Halflings (Lurkers) that had infiltrated the Elvish lines fell upon some archers in the woods. The Elves dispatched them with witheringly accurate archery.


Grunnlaug Crowbeak and his pitiful few horsemen charged headlong into the lines of Elvish infantry. The right recoiled form the ferocity of the charge…


Then the center fell, along with the Elvish General and the resistance of the Elves faded. They abandoned the Island to the humans and made for the Center of Light: the Isle of Quewedel.

Losses

Narn
1xLurker

Elves
1x Blade General

Well…. it WAS quick!!

What will Grunnlaug Crowbeak do now – pursue them to their capitol or return to narn to lift the siege of Relais…?
