This past Wednesday my friend Paul Potter came over for some help with a project he is working on, needing some uniform info. After we sorted that out, we had time to get in a game of HOTT, which I always find enjoyable, as I think Paul does as well. I believe his army was a Danish dark ages army (Paul is a master of the dark ages, and his general was a specific person but I don’t recall who). I decided to field a fairly appropriate army – my King Arthur movie Picts.
Here’s Paul making a decisive move early in the game.
A closer view of the battlefield. Paul had primarily Blades and Warband, while I had Warband a Hero and a Behemoth for some hitting power on my side. This picture is taken form my side and you can see my Hero (Guinevere) and my Behemoth on the right end of my flank.
Well into the game, and I have moved one of my Riders and Guinevere to the enemy left flank. I cannot recall exactly, but in looking at this picture I wonder now if I may have violated the rule of hitting his element in the flank?
That being, my Rider would have needed to be fully on his flank before he would be attack. it If I did, then shame on me!!!
The end of it all. I had defeated 12 points of elements, plus his general, by rolling up his left flank with my Rider, Hero and Behemoth. But still feel I may have won erroneously. True it may still have turned out this way, but an erroneous victory is no victory at all! The fact that Paul seemed to roll an abundance of one’s at critical times didn’t help him either.
Regardless, I really enjoyed Paul’s company and the game, and look forward to the next time!
