The " 0h-$#!% " moment

[Galain_Ironhide]

This was a while back. Playing as Gondor, early into the campaign. All is going swell, I had just taken East osgiliath away from the Orcs, so I thought I'd set up a watchtower up ahead to get some early warnings of any invasions. I send Lord Denethor by himself out to do the job. Then BAM! He gets ambushed by 1600 orcs that were hiding in the woods. There was going to be no escape for poor old Denethor, so I decided if he was going to die, he would do it taking as many orcs as possible with him.

" 0h-$#!% "


I mercilessly charged him into the lines of the orcs ,then would retreat, and then charge again. Hacking down hundreds of orcs. Missle fire was obliterating Denethors unit.


Until finally Lord Denethor finally succumbs to missle fire himself.


He did pretty good really. Killed about half of those filthy orcs. I love the strength of these General units in TATW.



"No tomb for Denethor. No long, slow sleep of death embalmed. I shall burn, like the heathen kings of old."
Well not really, I would say the orcs would have ripped poor Denethors body apart and used his head as a soccer ball.

I was quite dissappointed losing Denethor so early in the GC but there has been so many battles and so many of my Generals die in this GC (Which I am still playing) he probably would of died eventually anyway.
