Side Note: Because this is in the first issue, I will be playing with the rules that the game has taught me through this issue. This means no might, will and fate, no courage, no trapping, no break limit etc. this will be the same in every BGiME battle report that i do and every scenario from the original rulebooks.
This game has your faithful blogger, Aaron as Aragorn and his brother, Adam as the goblins. We set up as per the scenario and prepared to start the game.
Turn 1
The first turn saw both Aragorn and the goblin archers moving up and shooting, while the rest of the goblins moved towards the ranger. Aragorn gets out his bow and fire at the goblins, the arrow whizzing past a goblin archers head. The archers, seeing the oncoming arrow-fire retaliate with arrows of their own. They open fire, hitting Aragorn in the arm, but not enough to wound him.
Turn 2
Aragorn musters up the courage and charges the goblins head on. Meanwhile, the rest of the goblins charge Aragorn and surround him. Aragorn fights the goblins with ferocity, killing 2 of them. With Aragorn still fighting, and the rest of the goblins moving up, things don't look good for our favourite ranger.
Turn 3
The goblins move closer and closer to Strider. Aragorn keeps chopping through the goblins one by one. While fighting, Aragorn looks up to see his doom coming to him as the rest of the goblins get ready to pour into the fight.
Turn 4
As predicted, the goblins charge and surround the mighty Aragorn. They easily win the fight, but Aragorn manages to block every blow. Strider knows that his strength wont last him long though
Turn 5
The rest of the goblins pile in and challenge the ranger to fight. His strength is failing by the minute, and just as he raises his sword, one of the goblins sliced his chest. things are not looking good.
Turn 6
With only 2 wounds left, Strider seems to be taking a turn for the worst. He works up all his might and cries "Elendil" into the air. Swinging his sword with the ferocity and power of a Dúnedain. He strikes down 2 goblins with ease. Still with 7 goblins to kill, maybe he can charge through the goblins and reach the safety of his encampment.
Turn 7
Seeing their dead companions on the floor underneath their feet fills the goblins with rage. With one fell swoop, they stab Aragorn 4 times in the back, leaving Aragorn dead on the floor. The victory of the goblins did not come without it's casualties.
Verdict: Evil major victory
Adam thoughts: 'Was a pretty good game, but I think not a very fair game. Seeing as how I slaughtered Aragorn, it doesn't look like there is an actual was for aragorn to win'
Aaron thoughts: 'I agree, it is a very hard game for Aragorn to win, especially without might and fate points. For a moment, I really thought Aragorn might be able to win it with the amount of goblins that he was able to kill. Unfortunately, being wounded 4 times in a turn, I cant really argue with that. Good game though'.
Well, I hope you like my first battle report. Come check out the blog tomorrow, where I will be playing as those crazy goblins and see if I can do a better job.
