The Citadel of the Stars, Part VI: Hunter or Hunted

Good morning gamers,

We're continuing through our custom campaign in Osgiliath and playing through the third scenario from the Battle of Osgiliath starter set: Hunter or Hunted. The scenario victory conditions are . . . a little weird, but could also be really fun. As we have been doing, we're adjusting the participants so the game will have street-legal lists for the new edition.

Hunter or Hunted (Battle of Osgiliath, p. 6)

We've decided to use the following models in today's game:

  • Forces of Good: Garrison of Ithilien
    • Faramir, Captain of Ithilien 
    • Madril, Ranger of Ithilien
    • 4 Warriors of Minas Tirith with shields
    • 4 Warriors of Minas Tirith with shields and spears
    • 8 Rangers of Gondor
    • 4 Rangers of Gondor with spear
  • Forces of Evil: The Legions of Mordor
    • 2 Morannon Orc Captains with shields
    • 4 3 Morannon Orcs
    • 4 3 Morannon Orcs with shields
    • 4 3 Morannon Orcs with spears
    • 4 3 Morannon Orcs with shields and spears
    • 1 Mordor Troll

In order to win this game, Good needs to kill the Troll and Evil needs to kill Faramir . . . needless to say, I intend to be a coward and hide with my bows drawn and shoot for as long as I can.

The board is a 48"x48" setup that is similar to the setup last time - the Orcs begin with Peter the Troll in the center of the board and Faramir and six Rangers within 12" of the Troll (everyone else is awaiting their arrival):
