I wouldn't say the game was over just yet. There is still a chance that Cliff can take out two (or all) of the Gorgons at Jim's home. In any case, if Dan gets zero maneuvers at both terrains, Jim can win. Even if he doesn't get zero maneuvers, by the time you bring back units from reserves, it becomes an uphill battle by Dan.

sigh what to do...

BTW I kept the owls there cause I'm not really paying attention and because I wanted the dispel... that sounds like a good excus... i mean reason right?

ok, one army. six targets.

The unknown is where Jim will send his reserves...

I really don't want to give the game to either Dan or Jim... so I have to be careful not to let either win...

I can either tell you why my actions are a good idea, or I can just let you think I'm doing it randomly...

Missile from the frontier into the swampland city at the lone monster.

ok, before I roll I'll tell you why.

I really only have two targets. The one Chuck suggested and the one I'm really missiling. If I missile the three monsters then I'm afraid I'll kill none. or even if I kill one or two, I'm giving Jim the opportunity to split his reserves and win two maneuvers.

if I target the single monster I'm almost sure to kill it and that will force Jim to move to a single terrain. I'm putting my faith that he will stop Dan's 3 monsters allowing me to have another turn.

only the rolls will prove me right or wrong.

Owl-folk-4 Magic
Owl-folk-4 Seize
Vulture-folk-3 Maneuver
Vulture-folk-2 Missile
Hawk-folk-2 Maneuver
Hawk-folk-2 Missile

Seize the monster and then save against 4.

pull both owls back to reserves

For the Win: Razz

I might as well give it a crack....

First March:
Maneuver at Dan's Home to 8th Face
no possible Magic to cast

Second March...
Maneuver attempt at my home...
my roll makes no difference...just a zero roll from Dan is all I can wish for...

Save roll vs Seize:
Gorgon (Groucho): Foot = failed save.

Gorgon (Groucho) goes to my DUA.

-------------------------------------------

Counter-maneuver roll at Swamplands Standing Stones:
Gorgon (Zeppo): Flame SAI = 0 maneuvers
Gorgon (Gordo): Foot = 4 maneuvers
Gorgon (Weirdo): Foot = 4 maneuvers

Total: 8 maneuvers. The terrain remains at the 7th Face.

dburkley · Posted: Mon Mar 09, 2009 4:08 pm GMT Post subject: Luck of the Draw

Spell & Effect Expiration: NA
Initial Effects Phase: NA
Dragon Attack Phase: NA

First March - Activate Horde army:
Rolling for a Magic Action at Flatlands 8th Face Tower:
Gorgon (Chico): Flame SAI = 0 magic
Gorgon (Harpo): Shield = 0 magic

Second March: Activate Campaign army at Swamplands Standing Stones:
Roll to maneuver the terrain die:
Gorgon (Zeppo): Foot = 4 maneuvers
Gorgon (Gordo): Shield = 0 maneuvers
Gorgon (Weirdo): Foot = 4 maneuvers

Total: 8 maneuvers.

That looks like that's going to give me the game.

--------------------------------------------------------

Just for kicks, I looked over my posted rolls to look at the statistics (including rolls that did not count and were corrected).

Out of 148 rolls throughout this game, this was the statistics:
ID icon = 21
Flame SAI = 26
Shield = 29
Foot = 72

What the probably would have predicted was:
ID icon = 14.8
Flame SAI = 29.6
Shield = 29.6
Foot = 74

So Cliff's observation on one than one occasion was correct. I did roll an above average amount of ID icons...

not a huge amount above, it just felt like it.

we will let Jim do his roll, but good long game. I need a break before we start a new one.
