Jeux avec frontieres Part 2: All Change

 At the end of Season 4, the map looked like this, with the victorious Dwarves dominating the North:

Season Five:

Men attack Dwarves

The Wild Men marched into the very hilly Dwarf terrain with a big task ahead of them and it came as a bit of a surprise when they reduced the Dwarves to Exhaustion Point (EP). Once the Army of Men also came to EP they had twice the surviving numbers and won the day.

The victory for Men means the Map now looks like this:


Season Six:

Elves attack Men

Seeing an opportunity to grab most of the territory, the Elves rushed into the Wild Men's land.

The Army of Men attempted to hold the one bit of high ground but the Elves were too strong and rapidly reduced them to EP. The final indignity came when the War-Chief of Men and his retinue were killed by a unit of Elven Archers. 


The Elves won and are now dominating the Map, however everything could be won or lost in the final knockout game.

  2. Oooh, getting very exciting….🫣. Is the Elven archery a big factor in general, or was the human Warlord unlucky??? Who will be the aggressor, and fight in enemy terrain? That may be crucial, perhaps…? Superb map 👍🏼

    1. The Elf archers had some uncharacteristically (for me) good dice rolls - the Chief was killed in hand to hand combat, but after getting pretty badly shot!!
      Yes the terrain is a factor for sure.
