Tripple Nipple 1 41 7 win + 49% Win
Hand of Lathandar 100 0   Loss

Tripple Nipple took four journeymen and six wights, with no archers. They healed two of their wights for pus. Meanwhile, HoL had taken four wights and some archers. Both armies tried to hunt out the enemy wights with ghols, and both had opportunities to kill all four, HoL only getting 1 of 4 and TN getting 2 of 4. The Hand of Lathandar then started shooting TN with their archers, TN replying with a two-wight salvo (which only inflicted minor damage). HoL continued plinking away, prompting a charge from TN. HoL took the brunt of the charge on their warriors, and had a lot of moonwalking infantry, and these factors combined with TN's good journeyman use in melee helped them win the battle easily.

Tripple Nipple 1 88 3 3 flags Tie
Hand of Lathandar 90 3 3 flags + win Tie

HoL took four wights, maximum infantry and only ten archers. TN took the same, but no wights, choosing more archers. HoL tried hit and run tactics with their archers, attempting to lure TN onto the bridge and in range of their wights. After a full ten minutes of this (!), TN eventually stepped a bit too far and their archers were severely wighted. They then charged the HoL troops and their warriors got badly double-wighted. Despite the fact that over half of TN's troops were on red health, extremely poor infantry handling saw HoL lose the ensuing battle! They were just able to hold onto three flags before time ran out, for the win.

Tripple Nipple 1 26 8 win + 5 flags Win
Hand of Lathandar 35 4 4 flags Loss

TN set up in a very-heavy-center configuration, and forced HoL off their home flag. TN made it to four flags first by tagging both flank flags, HoL doing the same a little lated. Both armies withdrew all their forces to their home flag, and HoL then mounted a 3-trow attack but were forced to retreat (badly wounded) when TN's trow came home. After this first attack HoL were doomed, but they tried a second attack wave and were smacked down. TN's vengeful trow wreaked vengeance upon their defensive forces, and it was all over.

Tripple Nipple 1 7 3 8 18 Win
Hand of Lathandar 0 3 4 7 Loss

Tripple Nipple burst into action after a long hibernation period and the Hand of Lathandar still doesn't know what hit them. Although TN seems to have a rather regrettable tendency to charge straight into certain death, they have the ability to come out alive from some very improbable fights... a good combination for a fun game!
