After suffering several losses in a row, albeit not by a significant margin in some cases, I decided it might be a good idea to test out some different units and give a second chance to some that I'd dismissed before. Given the resulting force was a bit of a mishmash, I didn't have especially high hopes of winning this battle. I could have though, had it not been for a string of exceptionally bad luck related to leadership. After a hit from a Flame Cannon, my Night Goblins fled right into my Squig Herd, which promptly panicked and scattered. At this size of army, you'll never catch me using Squigs again. They're just far too unreliable. While I did manage to rally my Night Goblins, I lost my Orc Boyz in the interim to another Flame Cannon-induced flight from battle. These disasters, coupled with a ridiculous proportion of failed animosity rolls, has me about ready to pack it in and forget I'd ever heard of Greenskins! With nothing left to lose, I figured I may as well take the fight to the enemy. It's as well I did, as my Savage Orc Boar Boyz, accompanied by my Chariot, acquitted themselves admirably, breaking and destroying a full regiment of Dwarf Warriors on the charging turn. Now that's a unit I'll be fielding more often. Once they made their way back to the battle, my Night Goblins didn't do too badly either. If only the Fanatics hadn't managed to kill themselves on their second turn out - they were both headed straight for enemy ranks at the time. So, despite being a rather miserable experience, I certainly can't say I didn't learn from it. All might also have gone better if I'd remembered to take advantage of the Savage Orc's ward saves and not neglected to employ the benefits of my battle standard. That always seems to happen the first time I field a new unit though. |
