The Cursed Orb - Round Up

THE CURSED ORB - ROUND UP

So the Cursed Orb has been found! And found by none other than Ben and his mighty Dwarfs who managed to smite a Scar-Veteran within the Crypt at the last moment. Additionally everybody else managed to get involved as the Orb cast lightning onto the other tables, blowing up units and ruining battle plans... Sorry about that! If anybody has any reports or thoughts about the games that they played and would like to post them here then send them over too me and I'll make sure they're here for everyone to read over. We had three definite players on the Cursed Orb Scenario table, however we had to have a 'General Off!' to determine who else would be joining them as Simon, WillB & Hendrik all had a joint total of 8 Gold. This meant that their finest champions had to fight each other man on man (or Ogre on Vampire), and the victor would make their way to the big game - which left Simon Scar-Veteran victorious as he took no damage and dealt a lot out in return.

THE CURSED ORB SCENARIO - PLAYERS

Ben (Dwarfs)
Spent - 6 Gold

Melvin (Wood Elves)
Spent 15 Gold!!!

James (Dark Elves)
Spent 9 Gold

Simon (Lizardmen)
Spent ? Gold

Ben and Melvin made an allegiance, whilst James and Simon also raised arms together on the other side of the table. The Crypt was placed in the centre of the table and as far as I could tell, all hell broke loose! When the players have done a write up of the game I'll post it here for everybody to read, however in the end Ben's Dwarf Lord Magnar fought long and hard but eventually smote Simon's Scar-Vet down low. The Orb has been captured by the mighty dwarf throng of Grimlokson!!!

Congratulations to Ben, I'm sure the other players will be seeking swift revenge in the weeks to come.

ROAD TO THE ORB SCENARIO - PLAYERS

Francis (Empire)

Hendrik (Vampire Counts)
Spent - 0 Gold

Will B (Ogre Kingdoms)
Spent - 0 Gold

Jack (Bretonnia)
Spent - 0 Gold

Sam (Empire)
Spent - 0 Gold

Mark (Beastmen)
Spent - 0 Gold

Nobody spent any gold for these scenarios as it seemed everyone was 'banking' on future games... Could be a beneficial choice, we shall see! We all managed to get 1 game completed, and each of us managed another half a game until we had to head off to the restaurant.

Francis managed to sniper Hendrik's Vampire on Turn 2. Ouch! Time to crumble away...
