Update: Lugdash the Meat Hoarder has been sighted near us. He will not miss the chance to kill us off with his much larger army. We made our stand on the crossroads, a long valley with a large ridge running across one side. There were three houses in the middle of the valley that I posted troops in. A dwarvish army was trying to link up with us, however they were being persued by another goblin force. The battle raged from morning to after dark. We managed to beat back the first assualt with a counter-charge by the cavalry, however the next attack was a huge warg-cavalry charge. We did not suffer greatly because we had pikemen and staved-off that attack. By now our line was severely weakened and we had lost the house in the middle of the field. The elite goblin infantry was now advancing towards my weakened line, however the dwarves were already attacking the goblin flanks. My elves lay down and at the last minute, charged the goblins at a distance of only 10 metres. The suprise was devastating, the elite and armoured orcs reeled about in terror and all my men charged. It was a bloody fight and I must withdraw to Rivendell now. I will be there for the council.

PS: 10 Points to anyone who can tell me which 19th Century battle I based that on... :)
