Knights useless against Orcs' "disengage" ability?

[UtahScott]

So I set up Denrick's Quest the other day, and it seems my knights will be nigh useless against the orcs. I assume the knights can't use "a coward's reward," as "Disengage" states that orcs *never* receive leaving engagement attacks.

Has there been an official ruling on this? I can't find it on the Hasbro figures FAQ.

[Jason]

The knights aren't "useless" they can still kill the Orcs

[Venom]

the blade gruts only have 2 def. the arrow gruts have 1 def. how are the knights useless again? they'll probably kill them in the first attack

Was one of my subjects in my front page article, UtahScott:

Orcs are free to disengage from Knights of Weston.

I know the orcs are free to disengage. That is one of the things that makes the first ambush so hard if you lead off with the knights. You can't rush with the vikings as the bottleneck is horrible with disengage. The orcs cancel out the knights special. If you fly either kyre over, you risk losing a special ability tha could help later in the scenario. That entire scenario is greatly influenced by how well you handle the first ambush.

Which senario do you speak of?

Allow me to reply...
The scenario in qestion is Denrick´s Quest, a rather brilliant scenario utilising one master set, one RttFF and one Volcarren wasteland. I remember seeing it at HQ, but it is also in the Codex #2. I highly recommend giving it a go!
You need Denrick, the knights, Raelin, Kelda, the vikings, Finn and Thorgrim on the good side, and 1xblade gruts, 1xarrow gruts, Tornak, 1 swog rider, Khosumet, 1xwolves, 1 Dumutef guard, Krug and the Obsidians for the bad guys.

Wow...That is a great compliment. I have never had anything be considered brilliant before. In reality, I have been unable to recreate the quality of that scenario. I will have to think about it some more

Thank you for the input, I can't believe I missed it in the first line of the guys opening paragraph.

Two bad I can't play this senario as I'm missing the lava set, blade gruts, arrow grunts, and I believe tornak

[DEATHWALKER 1970]

To Ryougabot!
Well, I think it IS rather brilliant! I think it approaches Heroscape in a very interesting way, what with the preset armies and everything. And the design of the map itself, the v-shape, is pure genious!
Winning it is an entirely different matter though! It is definitely hard for Denrick and his group of of brave warriors! Me and my girlfriend set it up once in a while, alternating sides, and none of us has made it all the way up to Krug yet!!! But I´m sure there´s someway to "break" the code and win the damn thing!!! Anyway it´s a fun scenario, that we´re going to keep playing once in a while!

All the parts you are missing are well worth getting. I am especially fond of the lava and have several sets, but at least one is a good idea.

[Rajj]

The Wave 1 stuff is popping up everywhere these days.

And the lava, that giant TRU sale made me get some.

Got 2 x Lava 14.99 x 2 = 29.98 - 30% = 21 - 5 (TRU gift card) = 16 - 4 (5 off 25 coupon used with a filler) = $12 for two sets!!! $6 lava baby!!!

Which especially rocked since I didn't have any before.

[Browncoat]

Sounds like a fun scenario...I must've missed it too. Then again, I hate the lava terrain and only use it for adding height.

can't.....stop....LOOKING :lol: kept staring thinking wat episode it is :ponder: well at least i am still in the sig :thumbsup:

now to the point, the knights are not useless, the knights can kill the orcs easily, better on hieght or with finn, tornak might be a problem but nothing horrible

I must respectfully disagree as I prefer romans versus orcs. So much so that I have six sets of each.

Orcs and Knights reminds me of World of Warcraft, which is why I believe it's the best fight ever. Romans would go better against giant creatures, like titans, or dragons. Or greeks! :D

Wrong. The correct answer is samurai vs. more samurai. Thank you for playing.
