result: 2 magic - watery double at my army at the frontier.


Second March: @ the frontier
Maneuver: yes, unopposed to 7

A very correct observation! Thanks!

We could change the evil eyes to ash storms and I'll just apply them to saves like I did with the evil eyes. This way there we'll need to change the least while still keeping a moderately realistic outcome.


F

Edit: it might seems selfless that I make an obvious mistake by applying ash storms wrong, but don't be fooled by that, as there is also something in it for me. For if you'd want to change to a finger of death and we'd apply the sames rolls minus one common of your choice, then I'd take 2 less damage, but due to promotion it would end up being one dead common anyways. My gain would be that I get to choose the dead common. Still, it seems like a fair deal to me.

OK i need to maneuver if not to loose the game.

So the roll is
Coral giant ID
conjurer ID
bowman ID maneuver
fighter maneuver
necromancer cantrips
so 9 to maneuver up
and the cantrips are 2 ashstorms on the frontier.

whatever the result of the counter maneuver will be it's still on magic so a magic roll
necromance 2 magic another ash storm on the frontier
sharpshooter ID
bowman ID
conjurer 3 magic total 7 green or blue magic which is just enough to get my ivory dragon out to the frontier.

I hope this will even out a bit

2 small problems:

- Cantrips don't work during maneuvers
- Your dragon is already there.

should have remembered cantrips and maneuver.

I have a red dragon and a ivory dragon and ofcourse wioetmarschen allready summoned mine and his own.

Only 1 option now is to summon your green dragon.

(again I take to little time to soak up this visual display and am way to distracted by the real dice that are cluttering the area around my monitor.

Dragon Attack Phase:

Dragon results: 12 melee and belly

Dragon attack combination roll:





Result:

13 + 1 (watery double) = 14 saves
15 melee
3 - 1 (ash storm) = 2 missile

Both dragons are killed, to bad I that won't be of any help for my dead commons.

First March: @ the frontier
Maneuver: yes, I think I will. Unopposed to 8! Yay!
Action: missile, targeting Wietmarschen at his home




4 - 1 (ash storm) = 3 missile
2 x 5 = 10 maneuvers that also count as missile
result: 13 missile


Reserve Phase: nothing
Spell and effect expiration: watery double expires
End my turn

For a none focussed army this is going rather well isn't it F?

I'm a bit surprised as well actually. I think my success is largely due to you brutally butchering Wietmarschen in the first turn. This left him in a really bad shape as it forced his mages to fortify their position rather than use their power offensively. Meanwhile you where at a poor position terrain-wise, leaving me relatively free to do as I pleased. An almost classic case of "When two dogs fight over a bone, a third one carries it away" (Dutch proverb).
Everything turned out better than expected, but I still think that if I had faced more resistance/casualties at any point, my influence on the game would have diminished pretty quickly. I was especially lucky during the dragon attacks. Splitting up my forces was a big mistake which I got away with pretty lightly.

Still, this will teach me not to whine pre-battle

Ok, here is my save roll:




Results: 11 saves + 4 cantrip
I save all 13 missile by using 2 earthen armors, which I replace by two new ones from the cantrip.

And I will try to counter the maneuver from DutchJohn.
My roll is only one maneuver (I spare you the details)


Then for my next turn.

First march at my home terrain
Maneuver attempt:

Results: 11 maneuvers

In any case my action is: magic

Results: 7 magic
Cast 2 x stoneskin on my army
Cast 1 spark of life on pony rider

Reserve movement: none

End of turn

[DialFforFunky]

@ wietmarschen: I assume you want to spark a sentry back to life, as there is no pony rider available.
