Snow White Hills Blood Bowl Chronicles

Konistag, 29th Pflugzeit 2399. All day long the orcish host has been firing arews at the towers and walls on the west side, and making small scale assaults against the walls. Then tonight, perhaps an hour before dusk, they launched their hardest assault to date. 200 of their number rushed the north wall with a ram. All the while, their archers kapt up a hail of arrow fire. Many arrows were fired over the walls, to make transferring our weight from wall to wall hazardous. More were targeted at the defender of the gate towers and the north wall. Our own men, firing from the ramparts and the towers, were unable to match the weight of fire, but killed many of the foe. Their worth was shown when the enemy briefly gained the north rampart, where they were quickly cut down. Their most heavily armoured warriors at the south gate were less easily pierced, until the men in the gate towers skewered three with crossbows. After two hours, the attack ended in the dark. I counted thirty enemy dead, and others were seen to be removed. Five bodies were thrown off the north rampart. Our own losses were sixteen dead, and another twelvee wounded, making our total loss of life thirty-eight so far.: — Journal of Ilich Meinbach, p49
