SAGA Night-Seljuks vs JomsVikings


On our last club SAGA Night I played against Helge's Jomsvikings. We used the chaos method to set up and Helge was the active player. He placed just 2 forests on the table an left it at that. I am unsure of the rest of the game criteria. We played a 6 point game. Only 1 photo I am afraid.
Jomsvikings

Warlord
6 units of Hearthguard


Seljuks

Warlord
2 units of composite bow mounted Warriors
3 units of foot Warriors
1 unit of bow armed Levy

Well it was not much of a game, I really played quite poorly making a very poor move in my first turn, which essentially wiped out my 2 mounted units as an effective force. The next 3 turns witnessed a painful  and rapid decline in my forces. The game ended in the 4th turn with my Warlord being killed.

I do not believe I have ever played such a poor game, I am not really sure what happened. Helge, I should note played quite well. I was a bit surprised with an all Hearthguard warband, maybe even a little intimidated. The Seljuks are a new warband to me with this being only the 2nd time I have played them. However, their Battleboard really is not complicated. We will just have to see how it goes with them. Maybe a good explanation might be that I fielded a partially painted unit of horsemen. I have never done this in the past and maybe the SAGA gods were punishing me for this!
