Raid on Blount Landing - Dark Elves vs Horse and Musket

 Ok so here are some shots from some Mighty Armies games recently played in GPTs basement. Scroll down for bonus Man O War pics.

 First 3 shots are the same but -w- different focal points. You can see the Dark Elf Great Sword/Sorceress group has the Shroud of Darkness, and a wall of darkness has been cast  to block flanking cavalry.

 wall of Darkness cast in front of the artillery

 Different game, Dark Elves come on fast and the County Militia falls back.

 The Dark ELves over extend and pay the price.

--BONUS Man O War -

...yet more Might Armies

What the hell google, this blogspot gets more F'd up everytime i log in.

ok well, The First pic is of Blount Landing a 2x2 Mighty Armies "battle board" laid out for the  "The Sack of Port Argotta: Scenario from the Black Sea Pirates book. Also in that shot are the 3 armies i've specifically based for MA. Dark Elves, County Militia, and Bat Clan HobGoblins

 Last night we played a couple games First up was Dark Elves Vs The County Militia in the Sack of Blount Landing. This was the first outing of the DE, and first test (on my part) of the new DE rules. vs The Black Powder rules from " The Black Sea Pirates" Unfortunately I neglected to take pictures.

 The Black Powder rules as well as the new Dark Elf Spells give for some interesting tactical choices. More on that later.

The 2nd pic is of a game of the DE vs UnPainted Cave Imps, a late xmas present to Dave. I have no doubt that he will have them painted by the next battle. the "smoke" markers are the effect of the dark elf spell "Wall of Darkness" The Dark Elves have a couple of new spells that will force their opponent to use MP to dispel the effects, or allow themselves to be channeled. In the above pic, the "Walls of Darkness" are being used to protect the flanks of the Great Sword fronted group.
