Those terrain dice turned up very favorable for me.

My first turn.

Spell and effect expiration: none
Initial Effects Phase: none
Dragon Attack Phase: none

First March: @ the frontier
Maneuver: I'd like to maneuver.

result: 6 maneuvers
(For a second, I was afraid I might not get past the pony rider. That would have been awkward.)

As I scored more than your pony rider can muster, I'll turn the terrain down to 3.

Action: magic.

result: 7 green/gold, 8 red/green and 3 red/green Id which I'll double to 6 red.

5 green (treefolk): call water on the frontier
2 green (treefolk): watery double on my army at the frontier.
2 red (id): ash storm on my home
6 red + 6 green (scalder + id): tidal wave + volcanic eruption combined (16 maneuvers/saves, 1 roll up)

Second March: @ your home
Maneuver: I wish to maneuver.

result: 7 maneuvers

Action: melee, regardless of the outcome of the maneuver.

result: 15 melee

I'm afraid this game might have been over before it actually started...

The terrains are indeed not in my favour. Let's see what we can make of it.

The maneuver at the Frontier I cannot counter anyway.

Then the maneuver at my Home terrain:

Results: 6 so you win

Then the save at my home terrain, I got a lucky throw here:

Results: 10 saves
My Thaumaturgists and 1 Theurgist die

Then I try to strike back:

Results: 4 melee

And where is the Tidal Wave and Vulcanic Eruption going to be?

DialFforFunky · rare Joined: 11 May 2010 Posts: 1992 Location: Groningen

A target! good point! My home will be the target of the volcanic eruption and tidal wave. The first recorded instance of the krataoa-combo! I'm very curious as to how it will work out (if it does at all).

The terrain gets turned to 7.

save roll

result: 10 saves.

Ok, I'll try a dispel magic with my Gargoyle first: failed.

Then I was wondering if I am allowed to save for the Tidal Wave and Vulcanic Eruption separately? Or do I have to roll 1 time for the combined 16 damage?

The spells can be combined as their effects are the same. So that's one roll vs. 16 damage and 16 required maneuvers.

my lone scalder dies a horrible death by the way.

You have to roll for all 16 damage/maneuver at once.

Indeed I now see that the Wizard was not on it before as well. Mmm... this might have affected your strategy. I am sorry for not seeing this before as well.

I can now move up the terrain to 8 Smile

and cast some magic!

Results: 9 Gold magic
I Path my mammoth rider over to the Frontier terrain and cast a TRtM on your army there.

Second march at the Frontier
Maneuver attempt

Results: 2 maneuvers

I will await your counter maneuver

It was my own fault not including them in the first place, so no problem. It probably would have affected my decisions slightly, but I think the current state of the game is pretty funny. You've made a pretty nice come-back.

counter maneuver:

result: 5 - 5 = 0 maneuvers.

It is an interesting game again. I am experiencing a bit of a comeback, but I still suffered a lot of damage. Let's see what my Dwarves can still manage to accomplish. (By the way if you edit the board again, remove the Thaumaturgist from my home terrain)

To follow up on the turn, I win the maneuver and turn the Frontier Terrain up 1 step.
Action: none

Reserve movement
Lizard rider to reserves

End of turn
