The Siege of Minas Tirith

THE SHORT VERSION

Alessio Cavatore defends Minas Tirith against Mat Ward using independently selected points-match forces. Catapults, a trebuchet and an Avenger trade fire as siege towers deliver Easterlings to the battlements. The final turn hinges on a single attacker reaching the wall. Mat forgets to move that model, but Alessio permits the correction after their closely fought game, granting Evil victory and leaving both players with lessons about siege targets and defending banners.
