Had a couple of terrible games with Sim last night where I went with my 'old reliables' Lugballz and Uglick and got absolutely battered. I then had a couple of games on my own and experimented, first with the elven archer who isn't Legolas, got on pretty well with him and went on to win.
Then after that I somehow ended up in an Elite Battlegrounds game and chose Thrain. Although his moves aren't as exciting as some of the others, and his field of attack is tiny, but he's actually pretty great. Anyway the game itself was a 45 minute epic battle where at a couple of points I thought we were done for, but with Thrain the soldier killer clearing the top path my team eventually triumphed. When this game is good it's an absolute joy.
