The Tale of Four Gamers: Like A Bull in a Jungle Shop (Part 3)

As the two armies sized each other up, both generals gazed upon the marvellous golden pyramid.

The ogres thought of nothing but plunder and riches, the lizards of nothing except protection and duty.

With the cry of a local smaller gecko, both armies began the advance.

Gautam's ogres decided to blitz one side of the temple, where Lano's Lizards decided to split their forces, the Saurus warriors would try to hold the blunt of the attack, while the skinks flank, and the Ripperdactyls advanced through the trees!

After Lizard's first turn of movement, the skinks on the right hand side of the temple make good progress,

...while the Skink Skirmishers with Javelins take refuge upon the temple.

Very quickly, things start to get messy, the Saurus warriors get an Alpha strike on the Irongutz and force them to break!  The Ripperdactyls successfully manage to get a charge against the lonely Firebelly...

To which the Firebelly did no take kindly, and breathed fire all over the Ripperdactyls!  Leaving one behind! Lucky that Lano posed it in such way, he firmly believes it helped him!

Having crashed through the Irongutz, the Saurus warriors over run into the Ogre Bulls and meet them head on!

Where as the fleeing Irongutz are quickly shot down by two units of highly trained skinks.

Needless to say, this battle had been bloody, the Lizardmen held their temple and fended off all the Ogres, with none but the Firebelly escaping! 

It was a good battle in the end, with both learning valuable lessons in this new game. One especially, which taught Gautam that magic is a powerful ally as it it is a foe!
