Fascinating read Nico ;)

You really felt the desperate situation the Dwarves were in especially after the early loss of the Gyrocopter and Organ Gun, but they are a tough army to break down, so not an easy victory for the Amazons!

The music you used...... that sent me back to afternoons after school!!! "Mysterious Cities of Gold" - it was very good ;)

Merci beaucoup!

I am tempted to finish painting an army and hop over the German border with France to game against one of your amazing armies!! Although I imagine the que for that is very long :grin:

Thank you King Arthur!! You are welcome in France, I am very close to the German border, I live in Metz. If you are motivated to come, I can lend you a painted army, no problem. ;)

Start in the center of the battlefield is complicated enough in this scenario and the loss of my Gyrocopter as well as of my organ gun in the first turn was a true disaster, Bad luck for the Dwarfs (and for me). Any way i keep a very good memory of this game.

Well that's an offer ;) We are 590 km apart, I'm in Nuernberg, approx 5:30 hrs by Car. Now to persuade the Wife to either look after the kids or join me for a weekend in Metz soon ;)

Wow,

this Dwarven army is one of the best armies I have ever seen. I myself have a nice Dwarf army, but yours is so awesome.

Thank you!

Hi and thank you :grin: I admit I had painted this army with a lot of pleasur ...
Curent September I planned to finish my last unit : Two handed swordmen (count as Hammerers) !!

This unit will be also awesome.

I just realized that Metz is only 2.5 hours away from me . I am living near Frankfurt.

Maybe we can arrange a battle sometimes.

Hey !! It's absolutely not a problem :grin: You're welcome !!
I host frequently in my house or in my club, to play old or current whfb rules. I particulary love big game but skirmishing have it's own charm 8-)
 
Woah, really nice dwarves ! (or dwarfs ?)
Well, let me just say something in French (sorry guys, Google Translate for the others !): Hé beh, mon cochon, ça c'est de l'armée qui envoie ! L'imagerie fait un peu "Saint-Empire Germanique", j'aime beaucoup !

Merci beaucoup, c'est gentil de ta part. Tu as tout à fait raison concernant le Saint Empire Germanique, mes Nains font partis d'une armée de mercenaires lansquenets (Landsknecht) qui sont tous droit issu de ce même Empire, j'ai également utilisée des bannières issues de grande villes/lands Germaniques de cette époque. L'armée est maintenant terminée et j'en suis bien contant :grin:
