Mission: Kill the mayor that wants to betray you.

You will have only missile troops and a lone journeyman, who will have to double as last-ditch melee unit and medic.

Film1: No casualties. My first attempt. Went very well.
Notice how aggressively I (inadvertently ) used the units.

Hint: After defeating the first wave, move your dwarf due east along the other path of the road.
Watch out for Ghôls.
If/when there are no Ghôls, shoot the mayor, ignore the thrall.

The Tale

The Map

The explanation

We were far away from the fray, but had an important mission. Kill a traitor whose knowledge might be used to outflank our main force, while it was on the march.

Follow the peasant up the ridge. Let your archers go on the right. If you are lucky, you can pick of a lone ghôl.

We were led by a local peasant up a hill when a ghôl charged from the right and thrall and ghôl from the front. We were in trouble. Only some desperate fighting saved us.

Thrall and more dangerously soulless will hit your front, while the ghôl will hit your flank. If possible pick of one or more soulless with the dwarf. Some well-placed satchels can also help. Just do not let the little bugger die. Your archers should pick of the ghôl and then the soulless. Pull back the dwarf or any archer if they get badly wounded. Remember that the journeyman can "heal" the undead so that they die. I prefer using heals on my own units.

After a short pause and some well-needed healing we continued. 2 ghôls hit our flank, but the dwarf let them have a grenade and the archers shoot them.

Heal up any wounded units and continue. 2 groups of ghôls will hit your flanks. They should be a minor nuisance. Again a well-lobbed grenade can be very useful. You can see the mayor and bodyguard on the left, in the lower right corner.

"I think they are going this way, I will get him. Hehe!" The dwarf ran one way and then ghôls came out of the forest and the archers got busy shooting them.

Taking the shortcut.

Move the dwarf along the left, route. He can cut of the mayor very effectively.

"Get him!"
The archers shoot and the mayor through the trees, but Haddings, the dwarf had seen clearly. One grenade at the mayors feet sealed his fate.

Die! Traitor. Burn now and later.

With archers shooting in the distance and the dwarf close lobbing grenades, the mayor should be doomed. See the advancing red dots on the left. If you take your time, this squad of thrall can complicate things, see my first film.
