A friend of mine picked this game up and asked me if I would paint up the miniatures that came along with it.  I can’t honestly recall painting miniatures for anyone else before, it was interesting painting something that wasn’t for an army or squad of my own.  I think they turned out pretty alright.

The Map after Turn 2

The Kingdom of Men’s Knightly Retinue marched ont he Dwarves at their town B3 and the Abyssal Dwarves had the same idea.  (I’m playing both of those armies, and totally made those two moves not realizing what I was doing….)  As it resolved, I opted to pull one out of the fight and had the Abyssal Dwarves Legion retreat.  The Dwarves and the Kingdom of Men duked it out and it resulted in victory for the Kingdom of Men, the dwarves town fell at B3.

The Orc Winger army moved on the Abyssal Dwarf town at D5, where only a lowly garrison was located.  The garrison put up a good fight, but it was not an even match by any stretch.  The town was captured by the Orcs and what remained of the garrison retreated back to their keep at D6.

Orc’s Krudgers army, which suffered defeat in spring took a rest this turn.

The Map after Turn 1

The Kingdom of Men’s General’s Army marched on B3 and attacked the Dwarves King’s Army resulting in the Dwarves successfully defending their town and forcing the Kingdom of Men to retreat back to their Keep at B1.

The Abyssal Dwarves and the Dwarves created an unholy temporary alliance as they both marched on D3.  This resulted in a Dwarven victory over the Orcs town with the Abyssal Dwarves retreating after helping out and dwarves claiming the town at D3.

Many armies opted to defend this turn, assuming they would be attacked

This is the first time we’ve used the Kings of War ruleset with a campaign, they included one, which is super handy.  We’ve modified a few things, but only so the scale of games wasn’t too large for what we have in terms of armies.  All in all, this is off to a great start.
