~~~

The Rotmoons fell back from Ghyran after their run of defeats and mustered near a Realmgate in Wortbad, one of the small haunted villages that litter the Harrowmark in Shyish: The Realm of Death. There they met up with the Rumguzzler Gargants Grapeshot and Beermoth and plotted their return to Ghyran.

Unfortunately for them The Golden Rifles had been dispatched to hunt them down!

Beermoth and Grapeshot headed into the woods.

The Rotmoons were split into 2 units, one went with Da Leeva between Deathwatch Hall and the Rose & Sycthe Inn.

The rest with Degante went between the Chapel of Shyish and the other side of Deathwatch Hall.

Da Fireworks dragged their gun up on the right flank.

The Golden Rifles' Steam Tank wheezed and clanked into position opposite the looted gun while the rest of the Free Guild force formed up the other side of their Luminark.

The Gargants crashed through the trees.

The Handgunners marched through the pumpkin field until the  Free Guild General ordered them to hold the line, so they planted their standard and took aim at the Gargants.

The Orruk Privateers closed on the statue in the centre of town.

The Demigryph Knights smashed into Grapeshot.

The Rotmoons clashed with Free Guild Outriders.

Grapeshot fell and Beermoth piled in to the knights.

Even though the Rotmoons took heavy casualties they whittled down the Outriders rapidly.

Da Leeva was left behind by the charging Privateers and stood on his own in the open. It suddenly got very bright...

... as the Luminark turned it's powerful beam on him.

The Steam Tank chugged toward the central statue.

But the Luminark dealt with the Rotmoons Boyz before it got there!

Beermoth and El Doctoro both ran away from the town, hoping not to be noticed...

BlessedKnight won, with 5 Laurels of Victory to my 2.

A Champion Emerges. The Season of War - Game 2

Adm'rul Kurgan swaggered from the lines of Orruk Pirates and Privateers. He stood head-and-shoulders taller than the orruks, even the Kaptains, who followed him. He hefted his huge enchanted choppa, [i]Da Kutlass[/i], on his right shoulder and casually swung [i]Deeptoof[/i], his lucky broken anchor, with his left hand. He sauntered up to the agreed meeting point, full of his usual piratical overconfidence.

He squared up to Cargo, the Ogor Tyrant, and said "So mate, you ready for dis?"

"Ready." said Cargo simply and dived at Kurgan with his massive cutlass. The Adm'rul dodged the thrust and sliced, backhanded, with da Kutlass in reply.

The two of them hacked, parried, cut, feinted, kicked, blocked and bellowed at each other for a good few minutes before the rest of their respective armies remembered they were not just there as spectators!

The Rotmoons ran toward the Grudgebreakers, the starboard watch took cover behind a rocky hill on their way.

Both the champions had landed blows on their opponents by now, and the Adm'rul was very slightly worse off than the Ogor.

Cargo seized the initiative, landed a nasty headbutt on the MegaBoss and floored him.

The orruks bellowed in rage and charged.

They fell upon Cargo with their full fury, the Kapitain, El Doctoro and the port watch all unleashed their anger at the insult.

The starboard watch ambushed the Stokers and the Sea Wizard.

As the last of the port watch fell the orruks disengaged and fell back. They had lost the battle but they retained their pride!

The Rotmoons gathered in small groups to raid a Venythian trading outpost on the outskirts of Greywater Fastness.

The Grudgebreakers pounced on the Rotmoons and stopped their advance!

The first wave units of the Rotmoons were wiped out!

The Rotmoons brought up reinforcements but Grudgebreakers pressed forward to engage in the Rotmoons territory.

The Rotmoons counter attacked but Grudgebreakers retained the initiative and kept pushing the privateers back.

The Grudgebreakers got into the Rotmoons territory and attacked their looted cannon. El Kapitán duelled with Gudrun!

Major Victory for the Grudgebreakers! The captains fought each other to a standstill!
