My wife and I just got done playing “A Complex Web”, the sixth scenario for BattleLore. My wife took the side with the dwarves and the giant spider, while I played the side with the goblins. I led with my goblins early, trying to capitalize on their speed advantage, and aimed them primarily at non-dwarf units as much as I could while bolstering them with Mass Might. My wife, on the other hand, marched forward with her dwarven infantry and charged her giant spider forward to take its place on a hill near my front lines. My goblins, unfortunately, got routed pretty quickly, and my wife’s spider didn’t really do much throughout the entire fight. Despite this, I did manage to kill the spider toward the end of the game, after at least three failed attacks. A couple of other highlights: I managed to entirely destroy a red cavalry unit with a fireball, while my wife used Greater Portal to very good effect, swapping the places of a blue dwarven infantry with only one figure left and a fully-manned red cavalry unit right at the end of the game. In the end, my wife won the battle, with six victory flags to my four.
