NOTE:

This tournament was before the PoM CID.
That’s why Harbinger has only 24 wj points.

Trolls goes first.

Deployment :

Left Idrians prey at left Fire Eaters.
Right Idrians prey at right Fire Eaters.

Round 1:

Right Fire Eaters ran to the hill.
Rest of the army just ran as far as possible.

Harbinger ran behind the wall.
Devout and Vilmon came b2b with her.
Idrians shot right Fire Eaters unit.
Dwarves and Templar ran as far as possible.

Round 2:

Grim said FEAT.
Glacier King and Long Riders killed few Idrians.
Feralgeist ran to contest my flag.

Harbinger cast Rebuke on Trollkin Champions.
The Book came to the flag and said “no spell casting in my cmd”.
Monks said +4 DEF and came to contest the zones and enemy flag.
On the left flank, Champions and Idrians took care of cavalry and Fire Eaters.
On the right flank, I killed only few models.
Unfortunately, I was unable to get rid of one bison contesting my flag 🙁

0-0 on the scenario and photo during our second round :

Round 3:

My opponent started thinking about CK.
But.. to be honest, it was impossible to kill Harbinger this turn.
He started killing my models, but Martyrdom and Ashen Veil was too much for Trolls.
Battle Bears came from Ambush and ran to engage my Dwarves.

Still 0-0 on the scenario.

Champions killed few models in the left zone.
Monks stayed in their positions.
Once again, I failed to kill that bison contesting my flag.. 🙁

Still 0-0 on the scenario and photo during our third round :

My opponent had 7 minutes on the clock.
We both agreed, that it is impossible (for Trolls) to win this game 🙁
So, we played a little bit more and the game ended in next turn.

I won the game by deathclock.

A few words after game :

  • MVP?
    Champions of the Order of the Wall!
    They were able to take care of the left flank themselves.
  • Rebuke helped me a lot in this game.
    This spell casted at Trollkin Champions or cavalry is sooo nice.
  • Also, Monks need to stay deeper in the zones, in case of Bulldoze.
