Turnipton vs. Goblins
=====================

Overview
--------
Date played: 06 May 2009

  This battle report is from a very simple game scenario, which hopefully will still show off what Battle Chronicler is capable of.
  Turnipton is a small village on the edge of civilised lands. A powerful wizard has taken up residence in the village, but can the villagers rely on his help, when a goblin raiding party chances upon them.

  The game was played on a 3 foot by 2 table.
  A special rule states the Wizard can only be deployed on a dice roll of 4+ at the start of Turnipton's turn.

  The Turnipton general rolls a dice to see if the Wizard has completed his studies and can join the battle. He rolled a 2 so stays in his library.

  The villagers encouraged by their superior numbers charged the orcs. However despite killing two orces they sufferied six losses of their own.
  The Back Woodsmen cautiously advanced through the trees.

  The orcs strike back at the villagers wiping the rest of them out. The goblins approached the front of the tower. 
  The Troll spotted the Back Woodsmen and immediately charged into them, grabbing one and started to eat.

Turn 2 - Turnipton
------------------

  A roll of 5 meant the Wizard had finally decided to make an appearance. 
  Wasting no time the Wizard cast a three inch fireball from the roof of the tower right into the middle of the goblins below. 
  The remnants of the goblin unit then started to flee away from the tower.
  Confronted with a berserk troll the Back Woodsmen ran for their lives into the forrest.

Turn 2 - Goblins

  Seeing the fate of their smaller cousins quickly broke the morale of the orcs who then joined the flight to the woods.
