Just a standard 36-point with the new "hold two 8's until your turn starts" rule?

Could you perhaps explain what you are referencing?

Of course I want to play, but if we're testing out this rule, you probably want somebody much more competitive than me. Laughing

I'm still learning quality army building and such.

But I am interested to see how this would pan out in a game as well. I look forward to watching!

If I can get in and you don't mind me sometimes being slow I'd like to test this new variant.

either in a two or a three player game.

I can't run the board though.

Sorry, life happened. Here is the board:

Turn Sequence: Undecided

	*****************	**	*****************	**	*****************	*****************
	Stormywaters BUA		Stormywaters DUA		Stormywaters Reserve Army	Stormywaters Summoning Pool
*
	Stormywaters		Stormywaters		Stormywaters Home Army
	Cliff's Home Highland Standing Stones Highland Standing Stones		Frontier		Stormywaters's Home
	Cliff Home Army		Cliff		Cliff
*
	Cliff Reserve Army		Cliff Summoning Pool		Cliff DUA	Cliff BUA

Let me know if that looks right.

Let me get this started.. a two player game yes?

My horde roll is:
Infiltrator-1 Maneuver
Infiltrator-3 ID
Infiltrator-5 Melee
Wyvern Rider-2 Melee
Scorpion Knight-4 Melee
Scorpion Knight-2 ID
Spider Rider-1 Melee

6Maneuver, way more than one common can generate, so I win.

I don't understand why you put your missile units at a Grove which only has one missile face... but I will prefer to take the first turn.

Please choose the terrain (I assume you will take yours)...

armies are already placed.

rolling my home terrain...

Highland Standing Stones-7 Melee

which turns down to 6.

I'll take my terrain. Rolling my home: 1 - Magic
Rolling the Frontier: 5 - Missile (no joke!)

The reason I took the Grove is that a lot of people pass on the Grove, because they don't like not doubling magic. Either way it doesn't matter much to me. I put the missile units in the middle, because they can shoot either direction that way, so I have the best chance of having a target, should I get a missile face or bring in a Knoll and hit missiles.

Anyway, here is the board, right?

Turn Sequence: Stormywaters, Cliff

	*****************	**	*****************	**	*****************	*****************
	Stormywaters BUA		Stormywaters DUA		Stormywaters Reserve Army	Stormywaters Summoning Pool
*
	Stormywaters		Stormywaters		Stormywaters Home Army
	Cliff's Home Highland Standing Stones Highland Standing Stones		Frontier		Stormywaters's Home
	Cliff Home Army		Cliff		Cliff
*
	Cliff Reserve Army		Cliff Summoning Pool		Cliff DUA	Cliff BUA

board looks good.

so....

first march. at the highland.

Maneuvers, assuming a counter...

Necromancer-5 Magic
Necromancer-5 Magic
Necromancer-4 Cantrip
Necromancer-2 Save
Necromancer-2 Magic
Necromancer-2 Magic

wow... zero results...

I only rolled early because I thought i'd overwhelm you.

so I'll wait until we resolve this, what I do will depend on what face we end up on.

I also rolled zero maneuvers.

cliffwiggs · Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 9:23 pm GMT Post subject:

wow, so I won...

Turn the terrain up to 7.

action - attack!

Necromancer-3 ID
Necromancer-5 Magic
Necromancer-5 Magic
Necromancer-4 Cantrip
Necromancer-2 Save
Necromancer-2 Magic

Resolve the cantrip first...
sigh, I wanted two...
finger of death on a common amazon.

and then you resolve 3 damage (which it can't save, so no counter attack is possible)

second march
At your home.
I would love to turn you off magic, but...

No maneuver, lets go for a magic action with my non-magic guys...
Infiltrator-1 Melee
Infiltrator-1 Maneuver
Infiltrator-5 Maneuver
Wyvern Rider-4 Missile
Scorpion Knight-4 Melee
Scorpion Knight-3 Maneuver
Spider Rider-1 Melee

ok, that makes that easy...

now to reserves...
At the risk of someone standing up and using this game to prove a point about style of play...

pull all my units back into reserves.
every last one of them.

EOT.

Here is the board after your turn:

Turn Sequence: Cliff, Stormywaters

	*****************	**	*****************	**	*****************	*****************
	Cliff BUA		Cliff DUA		Cliff Reserve Army	Cliff Summoning Pool
*
	Cliff		Cliff		Cliff Home Army
	Stormywaters's Home		Frontier		Cliff's Home Highland Standing Stones Highland Standing Stones
	Stormywaters Home Army		Stormywaters		Stormywaters
*
	Stormywaters Reserve Army		Stormywaters Summoning Pool		Stormywaters DUA	Stormywaters BUA

My home army casts magic:

Oracle: 3 ID
Oracle: 4 Magic
Oracle: 2 Maneuver
Visionary: 4 Magic
Visionary: 4 Magic
Visionary: 2 Maneuver
Seer: 1 Save
Seer: 1 Save

15 Magic. 5 casts Flash Flood on your Home, turning it down to 6. 10 left will cast Flaming Spears on two of my Blazers and a Watery Double on my mages, I suppose.

Frontier Army twiddles its thumbs.

New board:

Turn Sequence: Cliff, Stormywaters

	*****************	**	*****************	**	*****************	*****************
	Cliff BUA		Cliff DUA		Cliff Reserve Army	Cliff Summoning Pool
*
	Cliff		Cliff		Cliff Home Army
	Stormywaters's Home		Frontier		Cliff's Home Highland Standing Stones Highland Standing Stones
	Stormywaters Home Army Watery Double x1		Stormywaters Flaming Spears Flaming Spears		Stormywaters
*
	Stormywaters Reserve Army		Stormywaters Summoning Pool		Stormywaters DUA	Stormywaters BUA

Good play. I don't play against green magic that often. I originally thought that was a wasteland and even though I know better, I am still treating it as such.

so magic in reserves

Necromancer-4 Cantrip
Necromancer-2 Save
Necromancer-3 ID
Necromancer-4 Cantrip
Necromancer-3 ID
Necromancer-5 Magic
Infiltrator-5 Maneuver
Infiltrator-1 Maneuver
Infiltrator-5 Melee
Wyvern Rider-2 Melee
Scorpion Knight-2 ID
Scorpion Knight-4 Melee
Spider Rider-1 Melee
Spider Rider-1 Maneuver

21 magic

Flaming Armour on four of the necromancers.

Move all units out to the highland (I considered attacking you directly to keep you off missile or magic, but I started with a plan and I'll stick to it)

so you get two free shots, make them count....

Magic at my home:

Oracle: 5 Magic
Oracle: 5 Magic
Oracle: 2 Save
Visionary: 4 Magic
Visionary: 2 Magic
Visionary: 2 ID
Seer: 1 ID
Seer: 1 Save

So that's 19. Let's throw Flaming Spears on the last Blazer and all three Burners. Three left will do an Ash Storm at your home.

Army at the Frontier will shoot at your home:

Blazer: 6 Missile
Blazer: Flaming Arrows
Blazer: 6 Missile
Burner: 1 Maneuver
Burner: 4 Missile
Burner: 3 Missile
Glower: 1 ID
Glower: 1 Missile

Doubling for Flaming Spears, I've got... 40. Flaming Arrow will hit a Necromancer, I guess. One Blazer and one Burner still have Flaming Arrows on them.

Turn Sequence: Cliff, Stormywaters
