I have played a few games these past weeks but some of them i just couldn´t finish and some (like one against NK) wasn´t really that fair cause his got a tremendous bad luck on his shadows draws so i didn´t posted nothing here (not that it wasn´t fun), but today i just played a insane match against our new member Noldonur in the good and old Movie Block format!
So its was:
MY valiant ![[Rohan]](https://lotrtcgdb.com/forums/Smileys/classic/rohan.png "Rohan")
with Mixed Southrons
Vs.
Noldonur´s Knights with Initiative Southrons I bid 1 but he bids 2 and chooses to start. He reveals Isildur with Isildur´s Bane
. I thought: "Or this guy don´t fear for his RB or he is up to something evil...". He then plays highlander
Alcarin and
Turgon. played a few fortifications, a knight´s mount and moved. I have nothing really good to play so i played
CUtW and an archer that he can easly get rid of, doubling to 3. I drop a medium guy with a
mumak an another archer with
Seasoned Leader making him stops with 6 wounds...
I played Eomer (who calls some possessions from my draw deck), Eowyn and some conditions givin him a huge amount of twilight and fearing for the worst but he had only one minion at hand! he drops a
Harsh Tongues and then proceed to assign. He play and event in order to make his minion survive until regropu and remove 9 (yeah he had that) to put 3 tokens on it just to see me playing
Let Us be Swift sending his newly acquired initiative gongo straight to discard pile. :hey: with no twilight left for him i decide to move again. he then played another
Harsh Tongues and a
Rout and more one or two minions with
Mumakil that i could handle without too many problem, discarding my Arrow-slitz.
He heals at sanctuary and play a lot (i mean A LOT) of fortifications and conditions (he benefits greatly from my site 3 "add a threat to play a fortification from your deck") and
Ingold. He moves to 4 and i drop a Mr.
Mumak Chieftain, a Bowman with
Seasoned Leader and a
Field of the Fallen. I manage to use Seasoned to get another Seasoned at skirmish caughin him by surpirse but he wisely use some fortifications and
knights mount to kill my minions and surviving to regroup death with
Cast Unto the Winds 
for him! Since i have some twilight left he chooses to stay. At least i manage to do some wounding.
I played some more backup and move. He plays more initiative/ambush guys with a Southron Chiefitain. I kill most of his minions and moved again leading the race. i exerted Frodo and Eowyn (
Rout) and he plays some nasty MC with another
Mumakil and i have just used my pump events
. For my luck he doesn´t had pump events to finish off my companions and just
Theoden, TaP dies (calling our great friend
Gamling to the Party
).
He then plays
Imrahil with a sword and go ahead i played some more minions to make him use his conditions (that he keeps getting back with
Sixth Level) and to get some more wounds but then he used
Catapult twice and get a lucky 1 twilight reveal and discard my conditions. He then give me initiative and for his bad luck i had two New Strenght Came Now at hand, but again he played so well with his fortification and skirmish resolving order to kill (but more wounds to him!). So he stayed.
I moved to 6 giving him not much twilight but he manage to kill Eowyn (which for a bad move i didn´t healed at manuever)
. At regroup i discarded his conditions with
LUbS again. At this time i had more wounds than a sanctuary could heal so better i start to think wisely!
He moved to 6 given just 8 twlightbut since he had 4 burdens (two more from
Pelennor Flat) i could play a Deset Lord with a
Seasoned Leader and a
Discovered just to get rid of two of his key fortifications. I made some damage and he stays.
Finally i get my Thundering Hosts and go ahead, facing a bouch of initiative raiders and his friend Mr.
Mumak. I could handle them making Gamling does his trick and pumping Eomer but i decided to stay since he had a dangerous minion at table and site 8 shouldn´t be a plains. Even Frodo had done his part winning his skirmish and surviving to a fierce st14 dam+1 minion
He moves to 7 and i can´t remember exactly what i played but i knew that he survived just getting some more wounds. Sorry for my bad memory.
I moved to 8 and he played a bounch of minions (again with the last Mr.
Mumak) and since it wasn´t a plains
Grimbold get killed by is initiative guys + pump with
NSCN. But i manage to exhaust every minion at the table and run for the "victory or death" with a
PATHS at hand and just 3 companions at table. The table have 5 minions (3 with
Mumakil) and i had only 3 companions and 3 threats added by the last site. By that time i coudn´t had sure about my win because the new "non-exerted" minions that he played. Again i manage to exhaust the remaining guys at cost of the life of Eomer and Gamling and kill every fierce minion with
PATHS!!!
Final Score: Only a exhausted Frodo with 8 burdens at table! But i guess that´s a win too! That was a really great game!
I was happy about my fellowship that could stand against initiative southrons which aren´t a easy match up for my companions and my southrons did their homework stopping his vicious knights. Maybe if i hadn´t double he could have walked for the win (probably ending up similar to me) so it was a very even match. A epic match i would say with only Frodo surviving and leting the ring goes to
Mount Doom. Well in this case he didnt drop the ring cause he would lose the vit +2 bonus from
ATAR and would have died
Well, just thanks Noldonur for the great playing time!
