Round 2 Summary:
Eldon switched his order marker from Q9 to DW9K.
MD advances across the smaller river hills into enemy territory. Taking up residence on an elevated area, they sat in anticaption of battles to come.
In addition, the MoU dropped the ladders, allowing the ranged units to occupy the bridge. The minons then moved the the choke point shown on the map. 1 minion fell to an Izumi. However, with height advantage, they had 7 defense. Also, they prevented the samurai from advancing onto the ranged units on the bridge.
HF moved up the ladders and on to the bridge. When the samurai came into range, the 4th mass line fired for all they were worth, and killed an izumi samurai. Another one fell to DeD's marksmanship.

Will did not change his order markers.
His samurai advanced valently up the hill. The braved heavy fire and flying demons in a hopes of securing the hill. One samurai managed to strike down a minion with a single skull to his 7 blanks. Bottlenecked at the bridge, they fought relentlessly against the demons who held them back. 2 izumi brethren fell before heated musket fire.
The romans remianed in their starting area, and waited to see the out come of the battle.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Round 3 summary:
Will gained the initative for the round. His samurai continued to push against the demonic Minions. They succeeded in taking down another one before the end of the round.
Sadly, their quest was for naught. They were all killed by the steady fire from the 4th Mass and DeD.
The Romans mourned for their fallen comrades. They waited for orders. Still unmoving, watching as the enemy came closer. The aubriens decided enough was enough. They headed forward, intending to fight the incoming army.
http://www.heroscapers.com/oldgallery/albums/userpics/10346/normal_IMG_1149.JPG
Eldon switched the order marker from DW to Q9.
HF managed to down 8 samurai in turns. The 4th pummeled them with attacks of 4 dice at a time. DeD had a 50% chance of dropping them each time. By the end of the round, only one samurai remained.
The knights, seeing the incoming archers, retreated back a little bit. They stood beneath the bridge, in a position that would allow their ranged comrades to fire on any incoming enemy threats.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Round 4 Summary:
Eldon gained the initative. He took the order marker from the MoU and put it on DW.
The knights remained in place.
Q9 and DW teamed up to wreak havoc on the romans. Q9 shot them with 6 attack dice at a time, which was enough to rival the romans defence of 6. Deathwalker happily bombed the heck out of the tight roman formation. His special attacks worked wonders on their thick set up.
DeD moved down the hill, in hopes of getting in range of the enemy units. The 4th Mass moved to a better position on the castle and did what they do best: wait!
http://www.heroscapers.com/oldgallery/albums/userpics/10346/normal_IMG_1152.JPG
Will devoted all of his order markers to Roma Major and his new roma minor (marro, aubriens, raelin).
He sent his marros forward, in hopes of securing the water passage and blowing up the bridge. He was met by a trigger happy Q9 who took great pleasure in Quelgix Gunning them. The survivors were dispatched by DW.
The aubrien archers retreated to the side of the army.
The roman archers set up for a series of arrow vollies on Q9. The Legions were devasted, and lost 3 of their 8 members.

----------------------------------------------
Round 5 summary:
Eldon won the initative. His order markers remained the same.
Death Walker earned his points by strafing to the right of the army. Once in position, he proceeded to fire into the roman ranks. He was later swarmed by Romans, but he held his ground, and fired into the thick of them.
Q9 stayed where he was, and fended off numerous arrow attacks by the roman archers.
Seeing that the ranged threat was over, the knights advanced forward to the hill again.
http://www.heroscapers.com/oldgallery/albums/userpics/10346/normal_IMG_1153.JPG
Will had suffered heavy damage.
He was down to only 3 legioneers, marcus, 3 archers, 3 aubriens and raelin.
Hea advanced his remaining roman melee units onto DW. Raelin advanced, giving protection to her friends. The roman archers tried with no avail to kill the soul borg threat with their combined attacks.
His once great army went from 32 to 11....

Closing Notes:
It was a long battle. It wasn't really Will's fault. He lost beacuase of tons of bad rolls. Eldon would roll one or two skulls/shields, and Will would roll 1 less. As for the overall match, I would like to hear your comments on the stradegy and tactics that were used.
Thank you.
