Uruk-Hai game would pop up in reference to the Maraunders, :)<br /><br />Sometime this month, if you're game, we should have your Uruk force face off against my Rager's Raiders list: it would be fun whether how you uruk is better than how I uruk, ;)Centaurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864036616223908725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010239046857689405.post-1247677202666676062013-04-08T19:16:41.153-04:002013-04-08T19:16:41.153-04:00@ Zorro: yeah, Marauders with Orc bows are squishi...@ Zorro: yeah, Marauders with Orc bows are squishier than crossbows. I actually expected to lose them all to enemy bows early, but the only ones I've ever lost have been killed in close combat - probably because enemy commanders try to break down the D6 warriors before they get in close combat.<br /><br />@ Nathan: I first made the Uruk Captain with two-hander because I love my Dwarves with two-handers. I've found that, unless I want a one-man hit squad to kill whoever Saruman transfixes, I rarely ever use the two-hander. Because I can't wait to spill the beans, I'm trying out purchasing an Uruk Drummer - 20 points saved means 2 more units, all Uruks in the army can charge normally or add 2" to their movement (that's 11" Uruk Marauders or 5.5" movement while shooting)...the trades will be interesting. :)Tiberiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032927898313675650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010239046857689405.post-68307221199234037742013-04-08T18:57:35.085-04:002013-04-08T18:57:35.085-04:00lol.

Your scenario didn't take into account the fact that the enemies deployed within range of the xbows - thus giving xbows a second round of shooting that the orc bows wouldn't have. Also, there is the return fire factor. Most enemies are going to be packing S2 bows - cutting down your orc bows at 2x the rate of xbows. For most army generals (S2 bow armies) facing orc bows. they are little more than a great big "free archery kills here!" before the lines clash. If your xbows are running while in range, you're doin' it wrong. At the very least, the majority should be firing while 1-2 move up to a better position. <br /><br />but that is why you uruk the way you uruk, and I have 7+ xbows. ;)el zorrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074174383236578390noreply@blogger.com
