ILL Met at Eightpoints#4C(Raze)

Garrek has set up a camp just beyond a narrow pass in the Fangs Mts. The pass opens into a small valley leading to
the Despoilers main camp.The Reavers plan to storm through the valley to Raze the Despoilers camp. Garrek advances
his fighters through the valley but makes sure to cover his own camp.

The Despoilers maintain a careful lookout on valley leading to their camp & quickly discover the Reavers approaching.
Ushkor swings left and moves to outflank the advancing reavers intending slip through the pass on the opposite side
of the valley & burn out the Reavers camp.

Saek seeing Ushkor intentions moves to block his way from going for the Reavers camp.

Murghoth seeing that the Reavers are distracted by Ushkor moves down the right side of the valley to get to the Reavers camp.

The clash in the valley has prevented both sides from breaking through to the others camp but then Uskhor
seeing an opening with a Bryherd Ambush moves rapidly down the valley & slips through the pass leading to the Reavers camp
before Arnulf & Krasus can stop him.

Tragor moves toward the Despoilers Camp but Grashrak blocks him from the pass.

Korsh seeing Saek has blocked his way from the Reavers camp swings around & attacks Garrek dealing a fierce blow with his

Targor slips around Draknar & breaks through the pass leading to the despoilers Camp.

Draknar moves to block Krasus & Arnulf from following Targor.

Krosh seeing the pass to the Reavers Camp is opened & runs through it leaving Draknar to hold off the 2 remaining Despoilers.

Krasus is blocked from the Despoilers pass by Draknar so he swings out & around the Despoiler & heads for the pass however
he can't quite make it.

Draknar counterattacks hitting the Reaver (6damage)

Both Fighters are now wounded & exhausted & accept a standoff.

Later Targor & Saek return to the valley reporting to Krasus that the Despoilers Camp was just an outpost & contained
nothing of value.

Krosk & Uskhor return shortly after to Draknar saying the Reaver Camp has been burnt to the ground & a Vile Trophy
was seized.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Close one! Each side set up at opposite ends of the board in front of an Objective (the Pass). Fighters had to make
it to the opposite sides Objective then are removed from the Board & a Victory Point Given.Victory is to the Warband
who has the most Victory Points after 4 Battle Rounds.

At the end of the 3rd battle round both sides had 2 Victory Points & the Reavers had 2 Fighters on the Board vs 1
for the Despoilers. However, the Despoiler fighter was in position to block the 2 Reavers from getting to Pass
in 1 movement Action. The Despoiler was able to take down 1 of the Reavers who had only a few damage points left &
then keep the other Reaver from getting to the Pass before all the Actions were used.

The Game was a draw at 2 Victory points each but the Draw roll off favored the Despoilers & they now advance to their
3rd Convergence. It seems the Reavers can't catch a break but they do seem able to force their opponents into extra innings.
So we'll see if the Despoilers can get the 3rd Victory but their Conversion penalty will cause them to take 2 damage
if they use an ability.

It amazes me how close these games are. I'm guessing, a lot of love (and testing) has gone into this game. It's not always the case with GW so I think you've got a good one there. When my teleporter is repaired, I'll zap my war over. Any chance of a Death warband?
