Introduction
Using my Fantasy variant of Neil Thomas's One Hour Wargame rules (see side bar), the following was a battle between Orcs and Goblins (all Irregular Miniatures 10mm). Goblin "Cavalry" are mounted on Giant Boars, Orc "Cavalry" are mounted, more traditionally, on wolves. The Goblins start with an extra unit as the Orc bonuses are higher. Each round base equals one unit. Grid squares are 1 inch.Game

Opening positions (Goblins North Orcs South)
Goblin Cavalry rush down their right flank eager to engage the enemy
Impact! The orc line holds, arrows fly from both sides. Orc cavalry counter charge
Morale rules lead to units on both sides leaving the battle
The battle has split into two as casualties mount
Goblins have got round to the Orc rear but infantry respond
Few units remain as the battle descends into separate melees
The final fight will be between the two commanders and their retinues
Victory goes to the Goblin Chief on the last turn of the game!

ReplyDeleteThese are all Irregular Miniatures 10mm. I also have a few 10mm from Pendraken Miniatures which are very nice.
