This was my first game back to warhammer fantasy in over 2 years :P
Me and my friend were trying to recreate the war of the beard (fought between high elves and dwarves) as those are the only full armies we have so we divided the forces we could find between us, I had the elves and my friend had the dwarves. Please note the points of the armies were NOT balanced in any way.
We decided to make the game last for 5 turns.
Objectives for the dwarves were to do two of either, take the high elf banner that was carried by the silver helms, rescue the trapped slayer, or destroy the dragon egg models. All the Elves had to do was stop them. The game would be a draw if the dwarves only managed to complete one objective.
