Taken from the Today Thread as it should be here instead. Also cheminhaler said i should put it here so i did.
I played a game of warhammer fantasy against a better than average player which beat me last time by a big margin. Today we tied. I made some alright decisions and some stupid ones. I think our luck was a big decider as well since mine was better than average and his was nuts balls. We were seriously within a 100 pts of each other and this is considering we didn't add up captured banners, dead BSB's and dead generals. I killed his general which was some bad ass warlord character if i remember correctly due to running him down. My general lived all game. We killed each other's BSB's though. I think the banners we captured were about the same number. If we went by table quarters as well i had those as well i think since i was all over the board and closing in at the end.
So he had his orcs and goblins and i had my skaven. He got 2 spells 'brainbursta' and some other spell which goes really far and does like a str 4 or str 5 hit on every guy it touches. For the most part it did jack though. He rolled terribly for magic most of the time except on the last turn. I got pestilent breath which for the most part sucks and wither which is awesome as hell.
During the opening moved i scouted my gutter runners into some forests which was a fungus forest (causes stupidity) and i passed the test. His orcs closest to them failed animosity and tried charging my gutter runners and failed to charge it (should've stood and shot actually but i think he went though that quickly). I then turned them around. At this point i used my warpfire thrower and torched some trolls and then fired a bunch of poisoned slings into thm killing at least 3 or much more actually. He had at least 9 but maybe 12 total. I can't remember. Anyway the warpfire thrower threw his regeneration off for the whole shooting so he didn't get much in the way of saves. My hellpit also crashed into his giant and in a couple turns i destroyed it while suffering no wounds.
He charged his big orc unit into my rat ogres with warlord and i killed his BSB in a challenge with my warlord with fellblade and a bonebreaker. I swear my fellblade rolled horribly. I did 1 wound with it and each attack from it does d6 wounds. Then my bonebreaker barely managed to do another wound to it and kill it. I think i had 2 wounds done to me as well. It was so pathetic. I should've had overkill by a bunch and won combat or gotten closer due to it possibly. Anyway i killed a bunch of orcs and got 7 wounds on my rat ogres and fled. I managed to barely go farther than him (thank god for scurry away).
He charged my poisoned wind mortar and once killed he reformed and faced my stormvermin. He also failed to charge with his orc boyz that had the wizard.
I then backed up my stormvermin and fired my warpfire thrower into his trolls but this time i misfired and it ran off to the right of the battlefield somewhere and blew up. I salute thee for trying and blowing up in my name. Still could've used that shot though. I charged my plague furnace and plague monks into combat with his special warlord character and black orcs. I unleashed my plague banner which allowed my plague monks to re-roll hits and wounds for one whole combat phase. I basically won combat and ran his black orcs and leader down. I also did a lot of other stuff including lessened the toughness on the other unit of orc boyz my clanrats and hellpit charged into. Said clanrats got their asses kicked and the hellpit stayed in combat. It later died anyway though. The clanrat unit barely fled past his trolls but it had to pop out past my stormvermin. I also charged him in the orc unit's flank with a doomwheel and charged him in the front arc with my plague censers. I lost my BSB to his split attacks but i managed to destroy most of his guys and then run him down. My warlord also regrouped his unit.
He then charged into my stormvermin with his trolls and killed them and overran into my fleeing clanrats and killed them too or forced them to flee off the board. It didn't help my stormvermin failed their fear check but his luck was mostly bad during the whole game and mine was mostly good.
I then charged my doomwheel up to where his trolls left the board. I also moved everything up and i think this is about when i placed my plague furnace in a stupid way and his spells went off and destroyed the furnace and he killed my leader and did other crap. My plague monks stood strong though.
His trolls got back on the board but couldn't charge my doomwheel. I charged into them but my shots failed pretty badly unfortunately but i managed to kill all of his trolls by winning combat and forcing them off the board. He had probably 5 trolls at the time.
Actually the plague furnace died after the doomwheel did it's good job. So i made the stupid move with the furnace and a lot of my plague monks and furnace died. I expected this would happen though. I basically then got my censers to fight melee in a building with his orcs. I'm bummed because though i had killed 10-14 guys he managed to kill all 7 of my plague censers. At this point the game ended.
So in short his luck was hideous and mine was above average. When he went into the building at the end i should've just stayed away from it but i had no ranged attacks like weapons teams left. Anyway going by killpoints we were within 100 pts of each other and i think he technically was ahead. This happened because i didn't want to win by just standing away from the building till the end of the game. I should've though because he was basically taunting me in that stupid building.
So as i said if there were any table quarters i had them, we killed each other's BSB's, i killed his general and we took about as many banners as each other. He took my stormvermin and clanrat banner and i took his orcs and his black orc's banners.
Sorry for the wall of text. I'll try to write these battle reports in the proper area next time. Hopefully somebody reads these things. Anyway i probably won't game in at least a week. I've been spending money way too fast.
