So many chariots
Well i didn't roll trollguts so there goes that strategy
For the first few turns i moved the gutstar back out of charge range of his chariots but keep losing some to shooting. SM was casting bonecrusher at 1 unit of chariots. that was a mistake. :oops: Turn 1 i cast 3d6 fire ball at chariots doing not much
Fire belly flies up to redirect chariots hoping to be able  to countercharge MF into chariots but i didn't see warkiity could flank my MF so they flee and rally next turn.

Turn 3 involved me keeping out of chariot charge range. Fire belly cast 3d6 fire at priest bunker leaving just priest left on 2 wounds. Bonecrusher cant finish priest off.  in his turn the firebelly flees a charge then gets casketed off. :cry:

Turn 4 Mournfang charge warkitty and need to break it or cop 6 chariots on the flank luckily i killed it and overran out of charge arc of chariots.
His whole army then turn to face MF and shoot 1 off. This give the Guts a chance to run up without being charged

turn 5 guts charge killing chariots but not over running far enough to hit priest and to be out of charge arc.

his turn 5 chariots hit flank of guts leaving 2 left and attacks finish the rest off leaving just slaughtermaster and BSB left but on stubborn 8 they hold.

My turn 6 I try to charge MF in to rear of chariots need an 11 but fail.

Everything attacks characters and they get killed after being debuffed. He reformed to face MF and charge in his turn. I flee and thats the game.
 
1150 to 660 loss.
My bad i shouldn't have tried to use Firebelly as chaff I should of kept flying aroung fireballing wizard then chariots. I think this decision cost me the game as priest was just a fireball away from dying and crumbling army. In hindsight I should of put gutstar in building and magic off wizard. I should have taken leadbelchers instead of flyerbelly but i just love the idea of a flying ogre.

anyway thats why we love this game you win some, you lose some but always have fun.

later fellas. more batreps after moonstruck in june :D

Good summary.  Those chariots can certainly prove to be a nightmare to the ogres with no ironblaster to put some hurt on them.

Well thanks for the info about matching an Undead calvary charge. Hope you get to have better games in the future.
Greasus Goldtooth is unworthy of bearing the title of Overtyrant. First he bent the scared rules of the Pit then he proclaimed that he is too rich to even walk! He is no ogre! Greasus is a weak, treacherous gnoblar that usurped his master’s throne! - Nazzaarth Icebreaker
