A HotT game, Nick and me, Pirates vs Orcs,.., with the orcs defending, specifically defending the pirate stronghold which they had previously captured while the pirates were away pillaging and .. um.. <ahem> .. you get the picture.
The armies were:
Orc:
2 x behemoths
1 x shoooter
3 x blades
2 x knights
1 x hero general
Pirates:
1 x hero general
1 x behemoth
1 x airboat
1 x horde
1 x blade
5 x warband

| The pirate stronghold being defended by the orcs |
The forces faced off with the pirates' attack running along either side of a river that ran past the contested stronghold
 |
| The view from behind the pirate attack |
 |
| Orc chariots (knights) |
 |
| Pirate behemoth, supported by a hero (the fella with the treasure map_) |
 |
| And the pirate airboat... how could you choose the pirate army and not take the airboat |
 |
| Two orc behemoths |
 |
| Pirate blade and warband, facing off against the behemoths |
 |
| Pirate horde, the obligatory drunken pirates |
 |
| The pirates rush at 'em, the airboat holding back |
 |
| An orc behemoth makes a breakthrough killing a pirate warband |
 |
| argy bargy on the pirate right |
 |
| Not looking at all flash on the pirate left |
 |
| The airboat gets stuck in against the orc blades |
 |
| The airboat starts to get into the action |
 |
| Having cleaned up against the pirate left, the orcs shift across to try and cross the river and attack the remainder of the pirate army |
 |
| The airboat and the pirate behemoth work in cooperation to try to kill off more orcs |
 |
| Success |
 |
| The orcs have cross the river and charge into the attack behind the airboat |
 |
| ... killing off the pirate hero and another warband.. oops the pirates have had enough |
So the pirate attempt to recapture their stronghold/camp was un successful. But what a great game. The river if not a terrain feature we commonly use. We need to...
