What a battle. Early into the game, the Abyssals had a devastating turn against the Brotherhood, robbing them of several important units.
However, only a short while later.. The Abyssals would lose momentum and the Brotherhood would take that chance to launch a ferocious counter attack. Both armies losing all sources of (relevant) inspiring by the end of the game proved crucial as each turn held a bloody fight between units.
A critical moment in deciding the battle of a tie was definitely when a unit of Knights failed to rout a regiment of Flamebearers in close combat, the Flamebearers would go on to regenerate nearly all of the wounds and force the Knights to charge them once again. This gave a unit of Abyssal Horsemen time to get a flank charge on the unit.
One of the most either way battles I have fought ever. I look forward to the rematch and the chance to slaughter yet more knights!

Micro-photos are not encouraging. But the report itself is good!
Paladin is one of my favorite opponents. So any game we play is fun
We might. Who knows 😀
Just had a battle at Hokh-Man. That extra two dice for magic is very powerful.
Are you both re-playing here?
Very cool
Good report. I’m looking forward to reading the next report in which Paladin gets his revenge.
I’ll get my revenge.
