Yesterday was one again
A next instalment of Battle Companies, Rivendell Elves vs Men of Gondor.
Since last Game night my brother's forces of Gondor are reduced by a couple of models. My forces of Rivendell on the other hand got a warrior and a knight reinforcement. For the difference in power the Men of Gondor get a 7 re-roll count and a bonus 7 influence at the end of the scenario.
The scenario we settled on was 'Seize the Outpost'. In this scenario the goal is to overrun an outpost guarded by Mordor Orcs. To even it out we added a few more Orcs than set in the instructions (18 in stead of 12). The Orcs are moved by both players alternating and have the only two rules: They can not leave the outpost and they have to attack the closest model in the shortest way possible.
(In hindsight this alternate moving of 18 models was quite time consuming

The criteria for the end of the game is to reduce the outpost defenders to 50% of their starting numbers. If this criteria is met at the end of that turn a roll of a D6 determents if the game ends (1 or 2) or not (3+).
In the third turn of the game we killed exactly 50% of the defenders and manage to roll a 1. At this point the winner is the Battle Company with the most models within the outpost wins the scenario. This ended up to be the forces of Gondor.

The aftermath resulted in no loss of models and my brother getting two warriors reinforcement and one warrior with bow upgrading to a Ranger of Gondor.
This ends our current campaign for now. As per our next Game night I hope to have finished my brothers warband of Easterlings to start a new adventure
Grrr, Imrahil
