WHB 3rd ed : Battle report Slann vs Chaos

2000pts with 3rd edition rules, not so traumatic for Patatovich and me
Full report here http://nico-realmsofchaos.blogspot.fr/2013/06/battle-report-punitive-expedition.html

Propositions to ameliorate the game play :
1° Add bonus to combat resolutions when you attack rear or flank enemie units.
2° Add the difference between winner/looser combat resolution to the panic test result of looser.

Other conclusion, blast magic spell are really powerful, half of my Chaos Marauder Horsemen were burned in two magic phases but... c'est la vie

MAGNIFIQUE!!!
I Will go to read in french s'il vous plaît

Nice, that's alot of Slann goodness

Loving the Chaos Dwarfs. Superb paint jobs!

Well, it was a very interesting and plaisant game (and my slann army won ).

Nico had very bad luck : he missed important tests like Ld test for minos and a WP test for the beastmen unit with the general.
The magic phase had a major influence on the final result.
"Lightning bolt" (Bat lv2) is a very powerfull spell. 1D3 F4 with no save : it's a good character and heavy cavalry killer. Other spells seems weaker or less easy to use.
Finally, "Cause Panic" (Bat lv2) gived me the victory.

I will propose a translation of the battle report in french soon.

Sorry, I haven't read your battle report: I just spend too much time gazing at those wonderful figures

Thank you all for comments.

La version française promise, c'est par ici :
