A Sacred Place - Play testing a scenario

 The following is the first play test of a scenario for my Fantasy Variant of The Portable Wargame (Swords, Sorcery and Squares). 

The idea is that one side must defend a location from a numerically larger opposition, who are themselves hampered by having to first take a river crossing.

For speed I used my little 10mm units, Elves defending a Standing Stone from the attacking Orc army.

The Orcs send their Troll to capture the crossing while the Elves move their Archers into position covering the river bank.

The Elf Guards stubbornly hold the bridge for some time while Orc and Elf archers exchange fire across the river.

 

The Elf Magic-User calls an Ent from the nearby forest who is able to wade across the river and attack the Orcs.

The Orcs are forced to draw a Chance Card!

The Troll finally makes it over the bridge but is surrounded and taking hits - orcs are queuing up behind to cross.

The Ent has wandered back into the forest leaving the Elf archers to mop up the remaining Orcs on the river bank.

The Troll's last stand - The Orc General finally makes it onto the bridge in time to reach his Army's Exhaustion Point

The Play Test has shown that the defending side needs to be smaller still and possibly there should be another crossing point! The Orc General is looking for a Giant to join his cause (like Ents, Giants can wade rivers!).
