In the last few weeks we also continued our Gondor at war campaign and managed to get three games in. After a masacre at Pelargir the forces of Gondor needed a victory.
Faramir managed to get his men to safety after an easy victory in the Fall of Osgiliath scenario. Guritz and his Morannons stood no chance against the forces of Minas Tirith. They were overwhelmed before Gothmog could catch up.
Faramir raced towards the white city in the The white rider scenario. Being chased by the Nazgul, Gandalf rushed towards them. Turn one Faramir was sap willed and his horse already dead by a black dart. In the second turn the Nazgul smelled an easy victory and charged the son of Gondor after reducing him to one wound and no fate left. But Gandalf arrived. He charged the same Fell beast that had charged Faramir and the knights of Gondor rushed in, charging bravely into the combats as well.
A heroic strike from Gandalf combined with a heroic combat from Faramir and some charging knights turned the tables for good. The first Nazgul was slain and they charged the next one as well, it also died that turn. The last Nazgul died a few turns later while Faramir walked to Minas Tirith.
After we finished our meal Faramir prepared for his return to Osgiliath in Faramir's charge. They charged valiantly, only losing one horse to shooting. Could they retake the ruined city?
Gothmog rallied the defences and turn after turn they took the initiative and utterly destroyed Gondor's finest.
