The Orcs gained the first turn. The three massive units of orcs were a little intimidating. Then rubber twanged and a doom diver landed amidst the seaguard killing 5. The shaman sought to thin out the ranks even more but his magic missile fizzled in his mind (as I rolled snake eyes to cast.)
The great eagle flew out in front of his army and the dragon princes conservatively moved up the flank. The archmage enthroned himself on magical vines irresistably. But the shaman was not to be resisted from dispelling "dwellers below" and "flesh to stone." He was mightily assisted by the three dispel dice every turn from Mork's spirit totem. Is it only 3 or do you get as many dispel dice as you have ranks in that unit?Then the Orcs let out a mighty shout and Waaaghed forward. The frenzied savage orcs charged the dragon princes whilst the other orcs merely marched forward hoping to magically waaagh into combat. Alas, it was not to be. (I rolled four 1s to cast waaagh.) The doom diver misfired. The savages killed 3 dragon princes, they broke, but they failed to catch the knights.
On his turn he rallies the dragon princes, the phoenix guard (and eagle?) charge the black orcs and the seaguard charge the savages flank. Flesh to stone is dispelled. Regrowth only regrows 2 seaguard. He fails to cast dwellers. Black Orcs make their break test. Combat is a draw with the savages. (do I get a free reform?) I fail my reform leadership check on the savages.
The Orc Horde charges into the Great Eagle flanking the Black Orcs. The Orc Shaman attempts to prevent the elves rerolling failed hits by casting Waaagh but the Archmage dispells it. The Doom diver kills maybe 5 archers. The The black orcs just barely pass their leadership check after failing combat. The horde of Orcs wounds the eagle but he'll just heal it with life magic. The Savage Orcs rout the seaguard and chase them down.
At this point I'm hopeful. The dragon princes and archers are handicapped. The seaguard is gone. The orc horde is going to squish that eagle and get into the flank of the phoenix guard. And hopefully I'll eventually come around with that savage orc block and either finish off the phoenixes or decimate the archers.
