A long battle and a short one

[janewilliams20]

Having been thrashed by Sharrock Junior, it was on to Sharrock Senior. Tim accepted my Lunars as an appropriate opponent for Kallyr, we set up some bad going and hills, and set to, defending Whitewall. There were deployment problems as I tried to shuffle sideways to match his setup, and a flyer did a great jof od disruoting things before dying again, as did a Lurker on the other flank. Meanwhile his Hero General tried to get round to Whitewall, with riders in tow. A hastily shifted Flyer sat in a cornfield and ambushed them. The Hero General heroically chased it into bad going, and it fled, and returned, and fled, and returned, and..... meanwhile Kallyr headed in that direction with the intention of challenging the General to a duel, but had to go bac and sort out the collapsing left flank. The right flank was held up by sneaker and shooters, the centre was Barkered by a flyer, the rest was reshuffling.
Eventually the warband sorted themselves out, and Kallyr led them in a charge. We were up to the end of time, with many troops lost and no clear winner, but then in the final moments, the Lunar right crumpled before the Vingan onslaught. One Rider reached the gates of Whitewall but was driven off. Orlanthi victory - just.


Next - Steve Harris and the Last of the Mohicans. Warband v. warband. His Hero sneaked round the back towards my stronghold, and this time the Flyer, without bad going to help, couldn't stop him. The only other combat was the other flyer being chased off by his Magician.
