miniaturebattleblog: First Battle Report!

This is my first battle report! Only for the first board however; it took longer than expected. I think I put too many captians on the field. Oh well this is the Fellowship outside the mines.

Here's the first move, priority: The Fellowship. Gandalf has taken the lead, with Taint and the twin bowmen approaching fast. Slinger tries to use the ballista but it fails.

Gandalf attacks the twins. But they overpower him and he gets an arrow in his arm. Tehn the ballista gets him in the foot. Ouch! Meanwhile the Fellowship keep coming.

The Fellowship's progress:

Aragorn smacks Taint with Anduril, Flame of the West. Gandalf is not having a good day, both goblins get him! He shrugs one off with a Fate point but the other is two hard! Just as he is about to die a shield of energy erupts from Narya the Ring of Fire. Gandalf has one Wound left.

In an angry fury Taint stabbes at Aragorn with his spear. Aragorn decides to save his Fate and 4 Might points.

Gandalf rushes at the poor mailgoblin Bob, and stabs at him with Glamdring. Meanwhile, Gimli was going to turn Strome into goblin sushi but Strome used his Fate point to avoid it. Mythrl decides to shoot poor little Merry and succeeds. Merry used his Fate point to save himself.

Aragorn stabs Taint again and Taint survives with his Fate point!

On the move phase, Aragorn tries to look cool as he jumps a riuned wall to attack the ballista, but he makes an epic fail and falls. Luckily he avoided a Wound.

As you can see the hobbits and Legolas have moved to the far side of the board with Taint on there heels. The goblins finally got a goblin out of their tent and No Name (NN) ran toward teh fallen Aragorn, hoping to recieve a goblin badge. Merry is cornered in the back by Mythryl. Boromir and Gimli take on Bob and Strome. I have no idea what happened to Gandalf my little brother took him or something, lets just say he broke his back and is taking a rest.

Legolas busts out Taints last Fate point with one Wound remaining. Boromir uses his horn to win the fight but the goblins laugh it off. Strome has one Wound left thanks to Boromir and Bob gets his chain'mail' (get it, he's a mailman :) in a bustle and Gimli clunks him out.

Aragorn, with a bit of digniy left, stands up and faces No Name. Sam and Pippin jump up to the wall to escape, and Gandalf goes to assist Merry.

Gimli kills Bob! Mythryl has no Fate thanks to Boromir (who's horn failed him again). Aragorn is shamed that he couldn't even kill a measly goblin, it beat him in the fight!
