The warlords are rampaging again across the peaceful Isle with the Welsh forces of David K up against the Irish of David S in the Escort scenario.

David K’s Welsh were lead by his Warlord “Cunedda Wledig”

The rest of his contingent consisted of two Teulu (Hearthguard) and two Priodaur (Warriors).

The Irish of David S consisted of his mighty Warlord “Rudraige mac Dela”.

The balance of the Irish was a unit of 6 mounted Fianna (Hearthguard), 2 Curaidh on foot, a unit of 7 Irish (of course) Wolfhounds and their handler (warriors), and a unit of Bonnachts (warriors).

The scenario required the escorting force to move the wagons from one long table edge to the other.

The battle began with Rudraige mac Dela attacking down his left flank with the wagons protected by his mighty warriors.

First the mysterious ghosts – the”Sons of Dana” attacked from the forest causing three warriors to run.One of the Curadh then launched Bersek like into the foreign invaders hearthguard killing two and causing the others to run. The chaos continued as Irish Wolfhounds charged into the forest smashing through another warrior unit.

With Rudraige mac Dela cowering behind a little cottage with the warriors that had been scared off by the “Sons of Dana” there was only one unit fully functional in the Welsh army. These brave Hearth guard attacked the mighty Irish Wolfhounds in the forest and although there was only the pack master left alive not a  single Hearth guard survived the fight.The Welsh canine fighting bravely to the end.

With virtually no troops left to attack the wagons, the Welsh chief, Rudraige mac Dela, fled the battlefield leaving the spoils of war to the Irish, who feasted hard long into the night.

With the battle ending so quickly Rudraige mac Dela decided to return this time with a mounted contingent escorting his own wagon train (code for we had time for another game), but the telling will have to wait another time as this bard needs to get to work.
