Head to head Stories

My favorite so far has to be the massive capital assault in Vicious Circle 3. I'm Helheim, attacking Tir na Nog's capital. I don't even remember what all happened, troops on both sides dying in droves, massive battle spells going on, etc. Finally, both sides' mages are mostly fatigued out, and my 2 or 3 remaining Vanjarl thugs are working their way forward. The last couple of TNN mages then totally turn the tide of battle with Frozen Heart.

Oh, one other story from that game. So TNN's pretender is a Forest Lord. He is all kitted out in equipment and regenerates a lot. Big battle, finally we rout them. Forest Lord is knocked down to not too many hp, a couple of my faster guys land a couple blows every turn as he moves towards the map edge. Finally, one of the hits generates an affliction. Which one? Limp. This slows him enough that the rest of my units catch up and mob him down.

I like the Forest Lord story.

I find the battles are more fun when after you get the trn file you dream up a scenario for the upcoming battle(s) as they unfold (if you didn't cheat and look at the summary first..) Sometimes its two SCs dressed to kill with gate cleavers taking huge chunks out of each other and other times a crazy scout with a dagger taking down a pair of infantry that are way out of his league.
