Retreat

 The subject of this post is a follow on to the Battle of Tressle, fought earlier this year. 

Sir Philip (mounted) at the Battle of Tressle

At Tressle, Sir Philip of Whare had been defeated by an Army of Chaos, led by the sinister Moonlit Knight. Retreating, with the Chaos Army at his heals, Sir Philip and the survivors of Tressle were met by some knights of the Order of St. Bernard. Having entered the waste know as Lessys Moor, the battered Army turned and prepared a desperate stand. 

The Battle of Lessys Moor (also known as The Two Tors)

Army of Law

Army of Chaos

Sir Philip's Army occupies the two Tors (hills) as Chaos approach

Cavalry clash

Sir Philip's force is put under pressure by the ferocious enemy

A lull in the fighting before Chaos rush in once again

Sir Philip is driven from the Right hand hill by the onslaught

Chaos has captured one hill and threaten to take the narrow defile 
 

With both sides exhausted, Sir Philip and a handful of warriors escape

The forces of Chaos have won another battle and appear to have the upper hand. Will help arrive from another quarter, or will the Northlands be left to burn?

  1. Looking good, MJT. Sir Phillip seems to be a bit of a ‘bad luck magnet’ ! Will he survive, and will his luck improve?
    (Is this an 8x8 again?)
