This week Naps and I again battle it out as the goblins under my command attempt to take Skull Pass and claim the dwarven mines for their own…
Mission is a straight up frontal assault, almost suicidal for the goblins, but if I manage to get a unit past the dwarves just past the wall the gobbos win- if the dwarves hold the line they win.
Goblins are cowardly and weak, and even in numbers it’s going to be a tough fight but I have a plan. My two big units on the right with my gobbo boss, spider riders on the left with the troll, and the archers in the center. I want to take the charge with the spider rider and then break the dwarves on that side with the troll. On the right just pile in bodies and hopefully break the dwarves on that side. Archers look impressive given their numbers…but they are goblins, and on the move the chances of hitting anything is pretty slim.
First up is the grim faced defenders ready to hold the pass at all costs…
Gobbos spiders advance, take the charge, wiff, and run away as fast as they advanced. Undaunted I charge the troll and start smashing away with more lousy rolling locking the troll and the stubborn dwarves for the entire game.
On the right my goblin ranks dual charge the dwarf minders as cannon shot falls just short…
Up the center the archers fire on the dwarf gunners killing one as they eat some cannon shot and a full face of shot from the gunners routing them…
So now I’m stalled on both the right and left, and in an insane show of goblin courage my shaman steps forward and destroys the cannon with some little waghhh magic before going down to a hail of shot from the gunners.
When the gobbos on the right finally break it is over…as my stupid troll continues to bash away. Maybe the troll from Lord of the Rings Mines of Moria will do better. Dwarves get to keep their gold for now...
