Skaven/Goblins vs Ogres/High elves

Rather entertaining game.  Though it was the godawful watchtower.
From memory we were facing 9 ogres, 4 mournfangs, firebelly, couple of sabretusks and the horrible ogre cannon.  On the high elves side there was a mage, 2 units of maybe 12 archers, 10 swordmasters, bolt thrower and 5 dragon princes.

We had a Grey Seer, Warlok Enginner with rocket, 2 units of 20 slaves, 5 jezzails, 6 gutter runners, Doomwheel, Warp Lightning Cannon, 60 goblins with spears and 5 bosses, another unit of 40 with hand weapon/shield, mangler squig and doom diver.


So I put a unit in the slaves in the tower at the start.  maybe they could take someone with them if the tower was tkaen.  They did not.  So we had 9 ogres in there for the most part. after turn 1

So highlights.

Turn 1 shooting. Ratling gun exploded, doom diver exploded.

Turn 2.  many clanrat deaths.  Grey Seer cast cracks call on the watchtower, destroying it and 6 of the ogres inside.  Doomwheel attempted to shoot, but misfired.  It went out of control, plowing through 2 fanatics.  It killed them, but took a wound from them.  So went out of control again impacting a goblin unit and killing a few of them. yay for doomwheels.

Turn 3 the Grey Seer left the tattered remnants of the clanrats and joined the large goblin unit.  Attempted cracks call on the mournfangs, and they passed 3/3 inititive tests at inititive 2!!  Doomwheel killed the ogre mage (and general)

Turn 4  Mournfangs charged the goblins.  Grey seer took 2 wounds.  A couple of bosses died as did many goblins.  But the gobbos held.  Cannon killed the elf mage (and general)

Turn 5 the mournfags were a slain by the goblins (yay!!)  my grey seer had skitterleaped out the unit with a miscast, he lost 2 levels.  Cannon misfired killing 3 jezzails who fled.

 Turn 6 The dragon princes charged the small goblin unit, winning and mowing them down.  Goblins charged the swordmasters.  Which was a drawn combat.  jezzails rallied.  And that was it, end of game due to time.

We each had units in contact with the ruins of the tower. So a draw there.  So it was down to victory points which we didn't really have time for.

We had left the large unit of goblins, 2 big bosses, the warboss and the mangler.  Skaven had the grey seer, my cannon and the jezzails.  But we also had 200 victory points from the slain generals.

They high elves were completely intact, less the mage.  The ogres had the ogre block alive, and the cannon.

So was probably a draw in victory points.
