[livejournal.com profile] alaimacerc was over last night for an return match of Battlelore, with me hoping to regain my honour after the hosing received previously. We played the scenario that involves a line of dwarves on hills, lots of human footsoldiers on both sides, and a gang of goblins off on the right. I played the side with the goblins and Alex the side with the dwarves.

Initially things looked poor for my side, with weak cards and an early banner lost to a dangerous dwarf unit that came down off its hill to stomp on my infantry. That initial luck didn't last, however, and soon I was ahead, having dislodged some of the dwarves and made a good strike with my goblin cavalry, while bearing up quite nicely against any retaliation due to Alex's dreadful dice luck.

The final score was 6 banners to me, 4 to Alex, and I have Fortuna to thank for it. She must have been really pissed off at Alex for some reason. To be fair, I did strenuously keep my forward units supported, and thus bold, and made quite a bit of headway by battling back against Alex's attacks.

Next I think we have to bite the bullet (or is that magic missile?) and play a game with some wizards and lore cards. Not sure if I'll get Alex to play again any time soon unless he patches things up with Lady Luck however.

Five pages written and off to Lee this morning for Alarums & Excursions #381. I'm a little disappointed with my Tudor Talents write-up as I found it very difficult to make much sense from my notes of the game. It is over three years now since we played that session, to be fair, but I wish I'd made better notes at the time. A lesson to us all, obviously.

I am glad, however, that I did manage to get something written. It's been not exactly hectic at home, but both [livejournal.com profile] sammywol and I would agree that it seems hard to sit down and actually get anything done at the moment.
