The third of our Test of Honour games saw my Mori Samurai once again face off against Stu's Monks.
This time we met after a larger engagement and needed to search the fallen for a family member. This involved rolling against our Wits to search an objective.
Both sides had two easily reached objectives which we successfully searched on the first attempt and then focus turned to wards the central objective. It would probably have been more sensible to have three objectives across the middle but having one guaranteed a big fight in the middle.
My chaps spent the first few rounds of combat critically failing and stabbing themselves to cause light wounds, not the best of starts. But I did manage to keep models within 3" of the objective which stopped the Monks from being able to search it.
We then had a grinding fight in the middle with the Monks generally rolling better so they wore down my companions and Ashigaru until it was just my hero left.
He did manage to rouse himself to cut down his opposite number and the Monks also lost their higher Wits companion which was to prove all important.
Despite my hero eventually dying the Monks couldn't pass a Wits test to secure the last needed token so the game ended in a draw with honours mostly even.
