Gameweek 12 - Round Up

GAMEWEEK 12

So we've played the final games of the year! All in preparation for our Geheimnisnacht Colliding scenario which is taking place on Sunday 14th which will see a monstrous game of Triumph & Treachery being played with a whole host of extra madness to keep everybody on their toes. But before that there were 3 games played on Thursday, again not as many games going on but it is Christmas after all and there are a lot of parties and merriment to be had instead. So roll on the new year!

Ben (Dwarfs) vs Simon (Lizardmen)
Unknown Region
Dwarf Victory
It seemed that the fight couldn't be kicked out of the Dwarfs as they chase Mel's Wood Elves down at the top, however Simon's Lizardmen held their own for most of the game.

Henry (Warriors of Chaos) vs Francis (Empire)
Unknown Region
Empire Victory
Francis' last game in the campaign saw him drawn against one of the toughest armies in Henry's Warriors but through the odds the men of the Empire held strong and left Francis to make his way to Australia with a final victory.

Hendrik (Vampire Counts) vs Mark (Beastmen)
Desert
Beastmen Victory
Hendrik took an Undead Legion list whilst I took a Legion of Chaos! And why not it was a laugh! The Undead were extremely unlucky throughout the entire game and despite their superior magic phases they were never able to make full use of them. The Beastmen managed to get in fairly unscathed and do what they do best which is mash stuff (Disclaimer: They're good at mashing the dead, not a lot else...)
