DK was the orcs again and Steedo and Snake-eyes were the settlers and militia.
Quick battle report and pictures.
The sleepy settlement of Linden Way just before the Orcs arrive!
The militia deploy to defend Linden Way buying time for the settlers to escape.
The Orcs approach! Out of picture the Orc archers and Shaman started shooting at some militia on the hill to the south.
The main shieldwalls clash - this was always going to go the Orcs way!
The militia wiped out - apart from a few on the south road with some settlers. Orcs on their flank.
The mad wizard Old Barrachus emerges from the ruins and unleashes a fireball at the Orcs.
In the end 5 settlers and 2 militia escaped the south.
Now time to fest up and admit a mistake with the militia - they weren't supposed to Rout. A special rule for the scenario.
Sorry Steedo and Snake-eyes. In an effort to redeem myself I fought out the militia shieldwall again from where the mistake occurred. As I commented on earlier the result was never in doubt but the militia did manage to kill two more Orcs.
Overall a good game hopefully the boys enjoyed it.
Of all scenarios so far I felt this was the least balanced in objectives - I fudged the movement for the settlers so that the Orcs had a chance to catch some of them. Also the rules in the booklet for Old Barachus were difficult to get him to do anything, so they had to be fudged too.

So that's 8 points v 27, ..? Well I call that a militia victory. My only complaint for the evening was Leowine.... What a weakling, leader-hero more like little Lord Fauntleroy. Looking forward to the final battle and having a right good bash at those Orcs.... And the Wyvern,.... And the evil wizard..... Oh perhaps looking forward is not quite the right thing to say, but at least the Wyvern is injured from the only successful attack in session 2..... From a mule. Set a date for the finale morts
