Title: Defence of Osgiliath
Post by: Phil Portway on July 01, 2024, 11:35:45 PM
A large game of Lord of the Rings with Farimir, Damrod, 24 Rangers of Gondor, Beregond and 24 Warriors of Minis Tirith Holding back the horde of Mordor, Lead by Gothmog, Shagrat, Gorbag, Infinite Orcs, and from turn 10, a Ringwraith on a Fellbeast, 2 Trolls and 48 Goblins, over 15 turns!

When each Evil company (24 figs) took 12 kills, it was forced back 6 inches, but the 12 killed would be placed back in the landing crafts and joined the fray as reinforcements.
Neither side took any Morale as Gondor were fighting for their lives and the above was fine for the Evil player.
If Good can hold for 15 turns, reinforcements arrive as another 24 Gondor Warriors and knights and Gandalf save the day.
If Farimir died, all was lost as the defenders panicked of the news and the game would be over.

The Horde make ground on their right, and in the center

Great looking game. I suspect Faramir's father will not miss him...

Wow!  :-* Awesome looking game. So no rule for Gondor to call in an (eagle) air strike when things started to not go their way?  lol
