Battles Phase
There are four battles that need to be resolved:
Battle #1: In a brutal battle, Evan's High Elves battle Dante's Phantom Tribe to a draw at map section 127 (resolved @ Hobbytown on 8/3/09)
- The High Elf army retreats back to 128
Battle #2: Chris' Vampires (2450) Vs. G's St. Michael's Angels (2690) at Blackbark Ridge (map section 27)
Battle #3: In a hard fought battle with momentum that shifted back and forth, Arlin's Los Lobos (2250) claim a solid victory against the Mushroom Monguls (2250) at map section 113, taking the territory from the greenskins. The Mushroom Monguls army retreats south to their headquarters at 141. Battle resolved on 8/8 with Dr. C playing the greenskins for Mike.
Battle #4: In a battle even more brutal than Battle #1, with close to 4000 points of demolished army on both sides, Bob's Banner With No Name (2390) massacred Bobby's Raiding Party of Kemrit (2850) at map section 137. This one was resolved on Lorenz 8/5 - 8/6 with Dr. C standing in for Bobby. Because of the Tomb Kings special rule, the banner does not get scattered due to the massacre result, however, with no unoccupied friendly territories to retreat to, they are scattered anyway and will reform at their HQ in the End of Turn phase.
Special Quest: Count Brocken and Skittersores lead several of Horrificus' best troops on an expedition to climb the Rotfeast Monolith. Half of their number are lost to the towers denizens as they ascend, but they manage to reach the top and destroy daemon prince Zalbag to claim total control of the tower. Quest was resolved 8/8 with Rod playing the daemons
