I'd like to practice and learn. Anybody experienced want to play a normal game?
Two players, no promo dice, original 10 races, no dragonkin, no magic items, no minor terrains.

Frontier- Highland City
14 Adepts

Do you know I hate leopard Riders (when they aren't my own? I'm curious why the highland when you are playing an all goblin army... I'm happy about it, but I'm curious.

Buried/Summoning
 
| Reserves
| Dead
| Horde
| Campaign
| Home

ok, horde roll...
Pony Rider-1 Melee
Pony Rider-2 Maneuver
Pony Rider-1 Save
Pony Rider-1 Melee
Pony Rider-1 Melee
Pony Rider-1 Maneuver
Pony Rider-1 Save
Pony Rider-1 ID
Pony Rider-1 Melee
Pony Rider-1 Melee
Pony Rider-1 Maneuver
Pony Rider-1 Melee
Pony Rider-2 Maneuver
Pony Rider-1 Melee
Spider Rider-1 Maneuver
Spider Rider-1 Melee
Spider Rider-1 Melee
Spider Rider-1 Melee
8 maneuvers, kinda low for this army, but more than your uncommon can even get.
so I may assume that I win the horde roll.
I can not risk you taking first blood against my magicians with those Leopards... It could effectively end the game before I get to take a turn.
so, I have to take first turn. I won't assume you want your terrain, but would be surprised if you didn't.
for now I'll roll my home terrain...
Highland City-2 Magic (figures)
Roll your home and if you pick the swamp roll it too.
then I'll take my first turn (it should be fast)

I will take things slowly and try not to 'post ahead' or give 'choose your own adventure' type things.
so my turn first.
First march at the frontier.
I will attempt a maneuver. Do you attempt to counter?

I believe the frontier is the middle die, so yes I will oppose.
Leopard Rider - 3 Melee
Leopard Rider - 3 Melee
Leopard Rider - 3 Rend*
Leopard Rider - 3 Rend*
Leopard Rider - 3 Missile
Leopard Rider - 3 ID*
So 9 maneuvers, correct?

Don't forget that Goblins at a Swampland get to double all maneuvers. So you have a total of 18 maneuvers!
No way Cliff can beat that. Best he can get is 17 maneuvers.

I never expected to win it, but just to be complete lets roll...
Theugist-2 Magic
Theugist-2 Magic
Theugist-1 Melee
Adept-2 Magic
Adept-1 Magic
Adept-1 Maneuver
Adept-1 Magic
Adept-1 Magic
Adept-2 Magic
Adept-1 Magic
Adept-1 ID

Adept-1 Save
Adept-1 Save
Adept-1 Magic
Adept-1 Maneuver

4 maneuvrers!
ok, now on to serious stuff... Magic:
Theugist-1 Magic
Theugist-1 Save
Theugist-1 Save
Adept-1 Magic

1 Dwarf and 13 Adept(nothing can double)
14 Red... I have to do it. Both Red Wyrms to the Frontier 
Second March - At your home. Maneuver attempt (I'll assume you will counter...)
Pony Rider-1 Melee
Pony Rider-1 ID
Pony Rider-1 Maneuver

11 Dwarf (which doubles to 22) and 3 Spider Rider = 25 manuevers. The most you can get in a perfect roll is 16 and no SAI's work in Maneuvers anyway, so I'm gonna assume I win it.
Turn the terrain up to 5 which is still missile range.
I will declare an attack into the Frontier (the Leopard Riders)
Pony Rider-1 ID
Pony Rider-2 Maneuver
Pony Rider-1 Melee
Pony Rider-1 Melee
Pony Rider-1 Melee

Spider Rider-1 Missile
Spider Rider-1 Melee
Save against 4 damage.
thats the end of my second march.
I will leave my hoard army,but pull all my magicians back to reserves.
Roll your saves against the damage and then I'll update the board and rolling the dragons is my next action.

You're shooting missiles from your home to the Frontier, and got 4 IDs and 1 Missile right? Is that 5 saves?
Leopard Rider - Melee
Leopard Rider - Melee
Leopard Rider - Missile
Leopard Rider - Rend
Leopard Rider - Rend
Leopard Rider - 3 Saves *
In either case, that should result in not enough to kill a leopard rider.

you are right, I wasn't looking for missile results only ID's
but the 2 left over is not enough to kill a 3pt die, so it just disappears.
now those dragons!
Fire Wyrm-3 Tail + 6 Claw
Fire Wyrm-6 Claw
= 15 damage against the leopard riders.
resolve that and then you can take your two marches.
