BotA Rd. 5 (Middle Earth): Narushima vs. P@nther

[Narushima]

5 more. the dice are being kind.

[Panther]

Incredible…again all Spear inf and then trebuche

[Narushima]

2 more, and I guess that’ll be it.

[Panther]

Last trebuche and Tower Guard

[Narushima]

OK, that’s the lot, turn incoming.
That went better than I thought it would. If only the previous attack from Khadn had worked as well (or even at all)…
Things are looking even more grim now.

[Panther]

Right, from the odds I was expected to lose only 9 Units.

@P@nther:

Well if we’ve learned anything it’s that the dice and the odds are not the same thing.

[Panther]

You’re right.

Well, I think that’ll be it, I give up. You now have twice the units and twice the production I have, and my only success (Rhun) won’t get me far.
The first Mordor/Gondor was my downfall, I attacked too quickly and kept most of my forces all over the places (especially goblins).

So, well played, it was fun. I’ll post in the tournament thread.

[Panther]

Thank you! It was a pleasure to play with you.
Just contact me if you feel like playing another game (LotR or other) at any time.
