MOAB 2011 - Game 2 High Elves

List looked good to me few hard hitters. Not enough to chew through my big blocks.

Lvl 4 metal mage (enchanted blades, searing doom, final transmutation, golden hounds)
Annulian crystal
Ethereal

Bsb mounted

Lvl 2 High mage (Arrow attraction, flames of phoenix)
Scroll

25 seaguard
2x10 archers
25 phoenix guard + banner of sorcery
2 bolt throwers
2x5 dragon princes
2 normal Chariots

It was dawn attack and objectives were
  • Get a unit into the enemy's deployment zone at some point (2+ ranks)
  • End the game in the enemy's deployment zone (2+ ranks)
  • Stop your oppenent from entering your deployment zone
  • Stop your opponent from achieving any of the above.

He took first turn and moved his block up a bit, his bsb in one set of dragon princes goes ahead of the seaguard, presenting a flank to one of my cannons. Little bit of shooting he did failed to do much. I ran into the face of the bsb's unit with the pistoliers, trying to kill one so the cannon shot would hit the BSB. I moved up with everyone else spearmen angling toward the deployment zone, halberdiers toward the phoenix guard. Pistols kill 2 dragon princes and cannon kills BSB and 2 others leaving 1.

He brings phoenix guard into line with my halberds. His chariot charges Mr Lector. He shoots a lot at Pegasus man who shakes off the attention even with arrow attraction on him. Other chariot wipes out the pistoliers. I charge the phoenix guard with the halberds, I end up breaking them but fail to catch them.


 Phoenix guard rally with the halberds in close pursuit He presents his flank to the halberdiers. I combo charge the phoenix guard with the flagellants and halberdiers, he loses many and I run him down.

I ended up with almost nothing lost he'd lost all but lvl 4, seaguard, 1 dragon prince and 10 archers. He was plagued by work calls all through the game and sadly his head wasn't in the game due to other concerns.

Ended up 13-7 but I got all 4 bonus to make it 17-7
