Spring into Battle 2010

original thread ↗

Just got back form a local tournament that was held today. Had great games with many great people went undefeated with my ogres for the the games, however, did not win prizes due to lack of objectives and too many casualties.

For the moment I will give a brief summary and give in dept stuff later.

Game 1: Ogres Vs. Empire 2000 points
Went good due to the fact that he had horrible luck with warmachines and did not support his left flack. I was able to collapse the left side with a unit of bulls and and several units fo ironguts and began running down the line.
Result: Victory
MVP: Gutlord who ate the warrior priest getting rid of a lot of buffs.

Game 2: Ogres Vs. Ogres 3000 points
A little worried going in do to my lack and his advantage of Skrag, however nullified with leadbealchers and baiting. Won the game again due to collapsing the left flank with strong units against a weaker flank. Also Hunter repeatedly harpooning Rhinox Calvary helps a lot.
Result: Victory
MVP: Maneater squad who bust open the middle taking two units of three ironguts, a unit of three yheetees and a BSB bruiser.

Game 3: Ogres Vs. Vampires 4000 points
Went into this game expecting a lose, however, due to a few lucky things and and a few mistakes on my opponents side I was able to squeak out a minor victory. First he left a black coach and a squad of skellies with the white king on teh left and every thing else, minus a few small squads and necros, on the right. Left was taken care of a Bruiser with Siege break, still love the look on peoples faces when they realize their tank or equivalent is killed by 30 points, with around 14 wounds with -5 amour save. The next things that helped was him being to aggressive with his lord/general and being my caught tyrant, who was missing a few wounds, and have his tricked out vampire spanked and my tyrant being returned to full wounds due to gut maw.
Result: Minor Victory
MVP: Shared, Bruiser with Siegebreaker and Tyrant with Tenderizer and gut maw.
