Epic War - Midnight Campaign Part X: War Journal

Turn 4 End Phase
After the battles fought, the Squats find themselves fast running out of Commanders! The Squats can only field as many armies as they have live Commanders so this is could potentially have a huge impact upon the outcome of the war! No such problems for the Orks however!
Both armies which fought have disbanded to return to base. Soon both forces will be looking to their pools of survivors to attempt to cobble together new armies!

Squats: 277 CVPs
Orks: 266 CVPs

Turn 5 End Phase.
There have been some surprising developments this turn with Commander Balin moving out of the City of Xajorkith (home base). The Orks introduce a new army to the fray (from units which survived previous battles) and push forward their forces in response. Despite the aggressive reaction however, no battles are fought this turn.

Squats: 277 CVPs
Orks: 266 CVPs

Target: 400


Turn 6 End Phase

More reinforcements arrive to fight the war! During this time the land of Midnight is still in the grip of the polar vortex. Their forces tired and wearied by war and the sheer cold, both forces resist the temptation to instigate any battles.

Squats: 277 CVPs
Orks: 266 CVPs

Target: 400


Turn 7 End Phase:
The worst of the polar vortex passes and both sides sense that further battles may be imminent. The Squats seem to think better of their movements away from objectives and Commander Balin returns to home base. Is this a sign of confusion, incompetence or weakness on the part of the Squats?

Squats: 277 CVPs
Orks: 266 CVPs

Target: 400


Turn 8 (Post-Movement):
Commander Kili pushes his army to head with all haste to the Tower of the Moon where they will look to defend the Campaign Objective. However, as they move into the Downs of Mitharg they find the army slows to a grinding halt, caught up in snow drifts.

Kommander Zanga's scouts report the Squat army's difficulties...and that the Squats have a smaller force! It takes the cunning Zanga mere seconds to commit his army to a surprise attack on the short-arsed beardies!

Watch out for the Midnight Campaign Part XI where the war rages on!
