With quick, direct damage on the Orcs side, it appeared that they would have no trouble eliminating the ever-annoying Spore Flower which can fog nearly every turn, but none of the eight Artillery or Cannoneers appeared early enough to make a difference in games and and three.

In game 2, it was sligh at it's finest for the Orcs, but it wasn't enough and the Orcs had to settle for their Final Four berth.
