Kings of War First Game

My first game of Kings of War, used a mix of units, men, dwarfs, 3 x Dragon Ogres (warriors) up against Wood Elves. All the models are Games Workshop mini's, which seem to fit in great with Kings of War...This first game was easy to learn the rules and tactics. Having played GW's WFB and other wargames, it was very easy to get into playing right away.

Here are the Wood Elves lined up for battle. Building units is very easy as the units are troops 10, 

regiments 20, hordes 40 etc. With some variation when base sizes are larger.

Here is my Kingdom of Men army, got some Dragon Ogres (warriors) holding the right flank. I like the fact that Generals and characters are separate from the units. This gives them more flexibility to be where they are needed the most. Inspiring rolls or just to get stuck in combat or casting spells. 

Here is a unit of flying Wood Elves charging my Dwarfs. I forget what these Elves where called in the game, but they are quite tough with lots of attacks. The Dwarfs are GW Bugman's Rangers from the late 80's. Great models.

Here are my knights charging some Treemen. This was one of the rules that confused us. We weren't sure if the knights should make one last wheel to meet the Treemen, as the number of attacks are always the same. After reading the rules we realized that yes the units are moved flush and shuffled down until the "commanders" (the guy in the centre) are as close as possible.

My Dwarf crossbowman with the wound counters. Models aren't removed when wounded but instead counters are added then "nerve" checks are made (like morale checks). Keeps the table clean and organized.

My knights charging around the field mopping up random units of Elves.

My units of Pole-arm block and hand-gunners double charging some unlucky elves.

Flank and rear charges are devastating as the attacks are doubled or trebled. 

My knights chasing down the last few units of Wood Elves. That is my General trying to get into range of my knights to help with inspiring rolls as the knights had taken a fair amount of damage.

 My knights again chasing down some unfortunate Wood Elf...

There are second edition rules coming out from Mantic but the game play and mechanics are the same. I have played one game with the downloaded 2nd edition, but didn't take any pics...
