With the armies on the move, the war for the Border Princes marches on. During our second campaign turn both slayers and the Duchy dug in on their settlements while the elves grabbed a castle. The stout dwarves of Karaz a Karak for their part attacked the empire, provoking a counterattack led by Karl Franz himself.
Both sides deployed for a pitched battle, and a lively exchange of fire began
With the dwarves nailed to their backline, the imperials move through the forests
A mortar shot got a bullseye on the thunderers, who lost many dwarves
But then the gyrocopter flew over the canopy and started to shower the infantry with boiling steam
The steam tank also got the pain, both catapult and cannon getting the range and causing it 19 wounds in a single turn
To make things worse Franz's griffon was killed by a lightning bolt from the runic anvil
And the tank's steam gun blew up destroying the machine
That would be the low water mark for the imperials however, who with courage and steel began to recover, destroying the thunderers and sniping the runemaster with a cannon shot
At last, in turn 5 the infantry came to grips
While on the background the hellblaster gun nuked itself yet again
Overwhelmed by numbers and Franz's runefang the hammerers stood their ground
And a big melee erupted on the center of the battlefield
Dodging shots meanwhile the gyrocopter charged and routed the crew of a gun
And the battle ended with a big melee that saw the dwarves routed from the field
With the ground retaken, Franz leds his army north, to fight again with the dwarves for possession of the desolate Badlands
