Deployment: What impacted the game the most was the out of place Stank, I lured Bill into deploying it way on his left flank near some fast cav. It never did anything but kill some fast cav the whole game. My whole army was on MY left side.

Turn 1: A general advance of the TK. Bill shoot his canons and hit the prince's and kings unit. The prince and the king made a look out sir and lost a chariot from each unit. King charged some knights in the magic phase and blew through them.

Turn 2: My carrion attacked a lone warrior priest and he spent the rest of the game fighting them. The kings unit overran and set up for a beautiful flank shot for Bill's canon, but it misfired. My swarm popped and made the helblaster crew flee. My Prince charged a unit of spearmen in the magic phase. They broke the detachment and killed a bunch of spearmen. The spearmen held. The arch lector was out of place too, near the Stank, Bill was trying to move him and the knights back into place. I move 24 skellies and 3 chariots to intercept.

Turn 3. Bill's shooting is done as the king blows through the canons in the magic phase and the helblaster crew runs off the board. The prince finishes with the spearmen and pursues off the board to avoid a flank hit from some other spearmen who had maneuvered around. Bill's Arch Lector's unit fails a fear test and doesn't charge my chariots.

Turn 4. The king is advancing toward the last unit of spearmen with the full support of both liche priests and a fully healed 6 strong chariot unit. The Prince reappears. The Stank is finally turning towards the battle. The arch lector's units of knights have been reduced by two due to 3 arrow shots, and the spearmen are about to face the prince and king's unit. Bill just had a small unit of knights with the lector, some spearmen, and the stank left. He was a good sport about it what had happened and conceded.

Thoughts: My catapult came up empty for the 5th game in a row. It is now being replaced with the bone giant. I have terrible luck with the thing. Bill had some really bad luck at points; his dice didn't cooperate at all sometimes. The Stank is no big deal if it isn't in the middle of the battle. My king and prince with the chariots can go into the front of a unit of infantry and win most of the time since they have unit strength 19.
