[AC]

Ok, my mistake. I was kind of in a rush earlier. I had used Example 5 from the rules under Step 6. Army's response to the dragon's attack (on page 10) to get a handle on whether or not the Treasure would apply. I took it to mean that it happened coincident with the Breath, but I guess that was wrong.

I also took the brief version of the Hybrid attack at face value and had not recently reread Hybrid rules. I had in mind that a Hybrid was more of an either/or proposition, and had not realized that they were actually Dragons 2.0.

So, redoing the whole deal -- or some of it at least:

If I could have promoted after eating the Breath, I would have exchanged the last Trickster for the Wolf Rider in an attempt to get more Saves. Rolling Wolf Rider in place of the Trickster I get:
Wolf Rider: ID (0)
. . . so it would have worked were it not for the Breath. Marauder and Hedge Wizard die again.

So now the survivors are: Thug, Wolf Rider, Hedge Wizard x 2, Troll.

Now, even though I am prevented from making any non-Save roll, I can still maneuver unopposed, right? (I'm not seeing anything in the rules to suggest otherwise, but I want to be sure.)

[chuckpint]

Yes, you can maneuver unopposed.

Ok, thanks. Remainder of the turn will be the same, then (heck, at this point "playing it safe" would be roughly as dangerous as the gamble, anyway).

Maneuvering unopposed: Turn terrain up to 8 and capture.

Second March
At sweetberlinetta's Home
Maneuvering unopposed: Turn terrain up to 6.

Reserves
Reinforce
Cutthroat x 1 from Reserves to my Home.

[cliffwiggs]

My previous turn stands. I won't reroll.

so EOT for me as well...

Did you know that you only called out 8 health to be buried?

3 Tricksters (common) = 3
1 Hedge Wizard (uncommon) = 2
1 Inferno (rare) = 3

Total of 8

The army literally didn't stand a chance against Ivory Breath and 27 damage. Not with only 13 health of units...

Once the damage was rolled, yes.

after such a poor showing the first time...

but still, we are nearing the end game one way or another. I can't win, all I can do is control who may.

[AC]

Well, technically there was a very small chance that the army could have survived. If both Uncommons had rolled ID/Save and the Troll had rolled Regenerate, I could have invoked the Regenerate to bring in four more health in the form of two dice and rolled them. If both of these new dice had also rolled ID/Save (since every Goblin I had in the DUA with a Save face produces 1 Sv per unit health on that face), then, given that the eighth face doubles Saves, I would have scored 16 Saves. This would have reduced the 27 damage to 11, with 12 health of units to absorb it. I would have had either a Common or an Uncommon (depending on what I brought back with Regenerate) left alive.

There was only a 1/405 chance of this happening -- or just a shade under 0.25% -- but the chance existed. Of course, it wouldn't have made much difference either way, since that last unit surviving the next Dragon attack (assuming it was not picked off in the intervening turns) would demand another unlikely outcome (all bellies or treasures), to the tune of 1/256, or just a tick over 0.39%. (Yes, it could also survive a scenario with a Tail/Belly + Treasure or somesuch wherein otherwise fatal damage would be mitigated by a promotion and a Save roll, but I'm keeping it simple.)

Improbable, but not impossible.

[Dolus]

Good point. I forgot you were at an 8th to double your saves. I get thrown off by multiple terrain icons per location.

Might be a slight confusion. I ended my turn above, so when you wrote that it wasn't your turn yet . . . Well, it actually is your turn, unless I've completely lost track of things. ("You" being Cliffwiggs.)
