About the battle:

• Both my level 2 wizards had the Light Spell Burning Gaze. Together with the bound spell of the War Altar these were a real harassment for the undead.

• In turn two the pistoliers killed the Hierophant. The fact they could get to the high ground and shoot over the 'covering' light horsemen was something Wenzel hadn't taken into account. Wenzel had most of his troops within the 'leadership 10'-range of his Tomb King keeping him from loosing lot's of troops to crumbling. In this same turn my steam tank destroyed one of Wenzie's bone giants.

• In his turn 2 one of the scorpions got lost but not allowing me victory points. Wenzel was able to cast urgency on his Tomb King with 3 chariot retinue and declared a charge on my swordsmen containing both my mages. They fled and the Tomb King ended up in front of a 'firing squad' containing a helblaster, a great canon, crossbows and outriders. The second bone giant charged the steam tank and was able to do one wound on it.

• After rallying the swordsmen the retinue of the Tomb King was completely blown away by magical and normal ranged attacks. In the proces the King also lost his chariot and suffered two wound himself. In the same turn the bone giant was grinded to dust by the steam tank.

• As a good leader the Tomb King was the last Khemrian to join his forefathers after a charge of the steam tank.
