COMMENTS	This game was characterized more by shooting than by HtH combat. As one expects, the Dwarfs did not venture out on the battlefield and chose to defend their territory instead. Since the Orcs took a while to arrive, HtH combat started in Turn 4. Also the Dwarfs had a lot of unfortunate dice rolls (Organ misfire, and the final break tests, hitting and failing to wound), and did some foolish mistakes, especially when the Cannon was fired in the same direction of where the Gyrocopter was standing. In fact if one takes a look at the victory points, the Dwarfs lost a lot of points not because the unit itself was destroyed in combat but because of these reasons: the Ironbreakers fled, the Gyrocopter shouldn’t have been standing there, and the Organ Gun did what it never did before.
