Game 2.

Against Mathew (James ?) who was a last minute replacement. James was using one of the very nice 3 Kings armies borrowed from Tim Sharrock - Balthasar, King of Arabia. Hero general, paladin, 4 riders, 2 flyers and 2 shooters. I defended and stuck down 3*rough and a wood. My stronghold is at max size so I had to deploy either side of it. Mathew deployed so he could break into the open with riders, hero and paladin.

In the first go I got the mages out to the front and deployed a lurker (Puck) against a rider in the rough; Puck promptly go wasted by a 6:1

After that it went very downhill for Mathew. He swung out with hero general and riders to take the centre. I advanced with the mages and had enough pips to take a pop at the hero general. I used both mages but he still had the paladin protection. Sadly for Mathew the paladin was not enouth as a reverse of the previous turn's combat rolls put paid to his hero general.
