The quick battle Recap...
As I recall the Darkness on board 2 swung into the mercenary camp and graveyard raising troops while the various dwarf force moved up. After a brutal fight the Darkness forces pushed the Light forces back and the Goblins and Kelts moved to try to hold the passes to prevent Dark from moving onto board one. The Goblins also took the town at the far edge of board two and held it until the end of the game as the valiant Kelt reinforcements tried to take back the mercenary camp. That is where the battle ended.

On table one the battle started with the Devourers sprinting into the sacred grove while the Dirz forces moved into the ruins and to control the tower while the Kelts tried to oppose them. A vicious fight broke out between the alchemists forces and the Kelts and after several surges the army of Dirz prevailed. Meanwhile the Devouirers started to rampage in the grove but were thrown back by the combined might of the Light forces and subsequently destroyed. meanwhile the Midnor forces tried to influence the fight and started to be pushed back as the Orques appeared in the pass. In the end the battle over table one was a draw as the objectives were split down the middle after a bit of careful maneuver and and repostitioning of blocking forces.

It was a solid Darkness victory on Table 2, nine points to three , but pretty much a tie game, six points to six on Table 1.
