Jortunheim with Midgard 2

 Colin and I got another Midgard game in, once again journeying to the icy wastes of Jortunheim. Once again, Colin had the Heroes of Jortunheim against my Hordes of the Ice Witch.

This time I managed to get some early charges in, which helped to boost my Reputation points.

Unfortunately not all my units passed their attempt at a second move, resulting in my charge breaking up my nice neat lines.

I had a bit more success on the right flank, although the unit of little Myrkalfar failed to charge the Frost Giant (and who can blame them?).

The Frost Troll pushed (Army Commander) Sigurd and his Jortun bodyguard back with heavy casualties. 

My Ogre champion led the Frost Wyrms in a flanking movement. The Issalfar skirmishers charged them in a vain attempt to stop their advance....it didn't work!

The Jortun died heroically, leaving Sigurd in a rather desperate situation! 

Elsewhere the Issalfar and Ice Knights enter into a bloody slogging match.

The Valkyrie vainly try to protect their sorcerer from my angry Frost Giant.

It doesn't look good from the sorcerer's perspective!

Having digested Sigurd, the Frost Wyrms fancied a Frost Giant as main course.

But is didn't go in their favour!

The final result at the end of turn 5, 1 Reputation for Colin, -1 for me. A very close game, but the Heroes of Jortunheim just won by a whisker. A very bloody encounter, both sides lost their Army Commander. A lot of fun!

I didn't get it in time for finish painting for this game, but I picked up this little 3d print for when my giants are lobbing boulders around.
