It was a hard fought battle.  The Orks had two wizards for most of the game however Sniviling Sammy Jeff''s Goblin Shaman did blow himself up on a late miscast.  Chaos brought a seige tower and a Dogs of War cannon.  Both proved invaluable during the siege.  The cannon blew off half the door and caused major casualties when it collapsed the west wall of the fort.  It also got a good shot off on the Black orks which proved to be the turning point.  Nathan's unit of Slaanesh warriors managed to break the Black Orks who fled off the table panicking a big unit of Orks who also fled off the table.  After that the Orks only had Ruglugs armoured Orks and a badly damaged unit of night goblins.  Not enough to hold the fort.  Bills Warriors with the Seige tower attacked the ramparts and killed all of Ruglug's boys.  At the end of the Battle only the Ork shaman was left.  Even  with his Better Big Boss hat he was unable to hold the fort and Chaos won the day which cost him not only the fort but a banner as well.  
bigboss turning point Nothing much else happened.  There was some advancement across the board and Mark and Michelle were poised for battle with little between them.  James wasn't there for this turn either so his armies held.
