[Jurisch]

In a beautiful river valley the Tomb kings arrived as the our scouts
had promised and prepared for battle. The dwarves under the rule of
King Jurisch of Bakadum were ready to show the undead the strenght of
hammers and guns.

Short after sun rise the undead made their first move and each of the
carrions went to both sides of the valley awaiting their chance.
Jurisch and Runesmith Gimli Rangarson on its anvil knew the risk, but
it was not the morning of Gimli and Jurisch. The noise of the upcoming
battle and maybe the sound of the Gyrocopters absorbed the clear
orders and so the Gyros didn't moved. The artillery and the
handgunners did well before and arrived a defend hill to await the
enemy with shooting.
The carrion of the left side, commanded by the evil Tomb king Cheffe,
took its chance and crashed into the flank of the red Gyro, killed him
and destroyed the second with an advanced move. The strong Clan
warriors took brutal revenge - one surrounded the stinky carrions and
the second clan smashed them back to their graves where they will stav
hopefully foreever. Mastermind King Jurisch soon changed its plan and
its tactic to punish the undead even with the fault that had happend.

The undead Tomb King gloated about his first strike and sent his
chariots directly to our fantastic army. And the ordering still went
bad and so another brigade were in a bad position after the first
move. Jurisch was getting really angry. With one chariot he smashed
into the flank of a ranger and warrior brigade, but our strong
fighters killed on chariot and lost only on ranger. A cowardly liche
priest has run into the back of our brave clan warriors and rangers.
But our troops were not able to move again, because of the unlucky
ordering before. So the second carrion made a homeback and with a new
order he tried to fight our clan men within the back, while the
rangers were confused by a little shooting.
But the clan warriors did what a dwarf did best. Stand and fight - and
we managed a draw. Good boys!

The chariot moved around the lake and tried to pass our defended hill
to fight our heroes doing that good job. But they realized our
defended artillery while passing and even they are dead, it seems they
felt in desperation and stopped their move and invited our rangers on
the hill to use their initiative attacking them in the right side. The
second chariot was nearly smashed by enourmous gun fire and had to
move exact 30 cm. The first chariot unit use killed within minutes and
the advance move ended within a slaughter of the remaining chariot
riders. But even with that great victory the fall back didn't went
best and the great rangers were not in perfect formation for the next
attack. By the way - our troops had the chance for a better result
that turn, but again the order process didn't worked and Jurisch
thought he is general of a ugly greensskin army. Maybe their was a
agent or bad magic in place. He promised to find the reason after the
battle.

Undead tried to push again and take advantage of the bad orders. But
even the organization didn't worked - the fighting skills were
fantastic and our brave troops drived the Cheffe nearly crazy by their
strenght. And then the flame cannon did a shoot of life - 16 shots on
the enemy and some handgunners killed another chariot unit, which has
killed our rangers in heavy fighting. Proud dwarf technology -
hopefully our alliance partners will use them in future, too...

But as it is - a remaing carrion had a little chance he fly into the
side of our cannon. Jurisch knew the risk, but the ongoing unsuccesful
ordering and lucky lichepriest doing their undead magic (this time
Gimli missed to earthlink the spell) changed the battle again. So all
of our cannons were destoyed by a stinky rest of a carrion and some
skeletons raised by a priest. We are glad that the men managed to get
away and we lost only the cannons - so within the next battle the
strong cannoniers will be back!

Another clash of skeltons (the Tomb king tried everything) and another
"Rising dead" killed a unit of handgunners and we need to leave the
battlefield even that we did much better than the rotten opponent's
army.

We stopped the march of the Black empire and are happy about the good
news we received.
