Battle Report- Empire Vs Night Goblins

12/27 @ Plastic Legions HQ

This was a base 2250 point game and was the round 4 match up in our Mighty Empires campaign, so this includes Mighty Empires rules. There were a few errors most notably I forgot to use my "Scouts" rule bonus from the campaign map and Anthony forgot to use Skarsnik's "sneaky schemes" bonus. Both these are pretty huge so we called it an even screw up by both sides and played on. While writing this up it became clear that Night Goblin army list is illegal with 5 Specials. The extra special is due to that Anthony came with 2000 point list and I was geared up for 2250, so Anthony hurriedly added a Special and Core choice, not realizing he was already at his max special. No big deal, these are casual games, I am just pointing that out before someone else does. This was a super fun and very close game. but considering the above I am not going to write the turn by turn events, but I'll add few pics below.

DRAW


Deployment- you can see the full terrain set up we used, made for an interesting setup
wish I had remembered to use my "Scouts" advantage



Empire Line- My General and my main block of 50 troops , then my shooters right in the center and then my knights and greatswords on the left flank. Pistoliers were behind me on the far Right Flank.

Night Goblin Line- Lots of Goblins!!



This is turn 5 or so....
