Midgard Mordor v Gondor & Rohan

Midgard again in Norfolk saw myself and Mervyn taking on Pete in a Middle Earth themed game. Mervyn and I had the evil forces while Pete had a mixed Gondor and Rohan force.

The battlefield was very open hopefully allowing Evil numbers to overcome Good quality!

I commanded the left and centre with numerous Orc units, some (very) unenthusiastic Goblin archers, Trolls and Warg Riders:

Rapid action on the right with Riders of Rohan being charged by Warg Riders:

Rohan Riders are equally aggressive on the left attacking more Warg Riders and the Goblin archers:

The Wargs hold on while the Goblins are heavily defeated:

On the right the Warg Riders cut down the men of Rohan and pursue into Gondorian infantry:

The Goblin archers are wiped out:

The two centres clash with the Evil army charging home:

The left flank holds on against increasing numbers:

The Trolls batter the Gondor Guards and the Gondor C-inC driving them back:

The Gondor Guards break and their Commander flees quickly followed by the rest of the Allied army:

The Trolls made a huge (literally!) contribution to the victory, smashing the Guards and using their Brutal ability to the full. The Gondor archers were surprisingly resilient, more so than the spearmen for some reason.

Good fun as ever and splendid armies provided by Mervyn.
