To learn how to play a forum-based game, and how to run a forum-based game. Army forthcoming.

loligarchy · Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2013 11:12 pm GMT Post subject:

Ok so we post our armies seperated into Home, Campaign and Horde right off correct?

Dolus · Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2013 10:07 am GMT Post subject:

Correct. Pick your 36 point army (without looking at the other players' army if you can help it), and post them separated into Home, Campaign, and Horde. Also post your summoning pool, and terrain choices for home and proposed frontier terrain.

You can also make your horde roll and post that when you post your army.

After I made my army I formatted the setup like yours. Last night when I was messing with the program I thought I'd found an export button somewhere but I forgot where I'd spotted the function so I setup the army by hand just now. Please let me know if I've ruined anything irrepairably already haha Smile

I'll choose to go first.

So you can choose which terrain you want (I imagine you would want your own). Then roll your terrain dice, and I'll start my turn.

*working on the board*

Also, don't worry about copying my post formatting exactly. As long as it's clear what you're doing, that's fine. Smile

Yeah I'm definitely going with my own terrain in that case
Swampland City: 8 City, 8 City, 1 Magic
Swampland Standing Stones: 2 Magic

Well that's...interesting...

Dolus · Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2013 3:25 pm GMT Post subject:

Highland Temple: 1 Magic

Very interesting. It will be a magical game.

Initial Effects
nothing

Dragon Phase
nothing

First March
Magic at Home
Wizard: 2 Melee
Wizard: 3 ID
Thaumaturgist: 2 Magic
Thaumaturgist: 2 Melee
Thaumaturgist: 2 Save
Theurgist: 1 Melee
Theurgist: 1 Magic
Theurgist: 2 Magic
Theurgist: 1 Melee
Theurgist: 1 Melee
Theurgist: 1 ID

4 ID (doubles to Cool

+ 5 magic = 13. Kind of disappointing if you ask me.

5 for Transmute Rock to Mud on your home army.
4 to path my Footmen to your home.
4 for 2x Ash Storm on your home.

Second March
Maneuver attempt at your home.
Mammoth Rider: 3 Trample
Mammoth Rider: 3 Trample
Patroller: 2 Maneuver
Patroller: 2 Maneuver
Patroller: 3 Melee
Footman: 1 Save
Footman: 2 Melee
Footman: 1 Save
Pony Rider: 1 Melee
Pony Rider: 1 Melee
Pony Rider: 1 Save

6 trample + 4 maneuver - 2 ash storm = 8 results. I doubt that you'll stop that with TRtM and Ash Storms, but I'll wait.

*** Feel free to experiment and play around with the DD Tool to see if you can figure out how to create/post a board. I haven't done it with the tool, yet. So I'll try to look into it when I get the chance at home so I can help with that. ***

loligarchy · Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2013 4:31 pm GMT Post subject:

Bog Adept: 1 ID
Bog Adept: 1 ID
Marsh Mage: 2 ID
Marsh Mage: 2 Magic
Swamp Wizard: 3 ID
Swamp Wizard: 4 Cantrip
Swamp Wizard: 3 Magic
Swamp Wizard: 3 Magic

So 7-5 for TRtM -2 ash storm = 0 Manuevers

Not surprising at all there

Dolus · Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2013 4:49 pm GMT Post subject:

Maneuver up to 3 - Missile, and attempt a missile attack on your frontier army.

Mammoth Rider: 4 Melee
Mammoth Rider: 3 Save
Patroller: 2 Save
Patroller: 2 Maneuver
Patroller: 2 ID
Footman: 1 Save
Footman: 1 Melee
Footman: 1 Melee
Pony Rider: 1 Maneuver
Pony Rider: 2 Maneuver
Pony Rider: 1 Melee

2 results - 2 for ash storm = 0 total. No effect.

No Reserves

I'll update the board.

Dragon Phase
nada
First March
Manuever at my Home
Bog Adept: 1 Save
Bog Adept: 1 Save
Marsh Mage: 4 Magic
Marsh Mage: 2 Save
Swamp Wizard: 5 Magic
Swamp Wizard: 5 Magic
Swamp Wizard: 2 Save
Swamp Wizard: 4 Cantrip

So 0 - 6TMRtM - 2 Ash Storm
Now if I do my math right that should round up to Zero Manuevers

I guess its not outside the realm of possibility that you'll roll 2 or less so I'll just wait to confirm that I lost.

Dolus · Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2013 5:19 pm GMT Post subject:

loligarchy · Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2013 5:43 pm GMT Post subject:

Oh right! So in that case it should have been Zero, my bad man.
Lets go for a missile action in that case against your Horde Army.

Bog Adept: 1 Magic
Bog Adept: 1 ID
Marsh Mage: 2 Melee
Marsh Mage: 4 Magic
Swamp Wizard: 3 ID
Swamp Wizard: 2 Melee
Swamp Wizard: 2 Save
Swamp Wizard: 4 Cantrip

First I'll resolve the cantrip by casting Finger of Death on one of your Theurgists.

After that its 4 Missiles - 2 Ash Storm = 2 Missile Results to save against. In the meanwhile I'll move onto my second march.

Second March
Manuever at your home
Annihilator: 5 Melee
Annihilator: 5 Melee
Bog Runner: 1 Save
Bog Runner: 1 Melee
Bog Runner: 1 ID
Marsh Swimmer: 2 Save
Marsh Swimmer: 2 Save
Swamp Giant: 4 Smite

You have got to be kidding me...

Ok so that's 1 Manuever

If I somehow win that pop it up to 2, In any case I will attempt a magic action
Annihilator: 5 Melee
Annihilator: 4 Smite
Bog Runner: 1 Save
Bog Runner: 1 ID
Bog Runner: 1 ID
Marsh Swimmer: 4 Maneuver
Marsh Swimmer: 2 ID
Swamp Giant: 4 Melee

4 Magic from ID, no way to double
Yeah we'll just poke another Theurgist down with Finger of Death

Reserves
Pulling back my entire Home Army and my Frontier Bog Runner

Save against 2:
Mammoth Rider: 3 ID

Patroller: 3 Melee
Footman: 1 ID
Footman: 1 ID
Footman: 1 Melee
Pony Rider: 1 Melee

12 - 2 = 10
Saved

Counter-Maneuver
Wizard: 4 Cantrip
Wizard: 4 Magic
Thaumaturgist: 3 Magic
Thaumaturgist: 2 ID
Thaumaturgist: 2 ID
Theurgist: 1 ID
Theurgist: 1 ID
Theurgist: 1 Melee
Theurgist: 1 ID
Theurgist: 1 Magic

7

And you could've doubled 1 of the IDs for black magic since your first FoD killed a Thuergist. But 5 black doesn't do you any good compared to 4 black.

2 Theurgists dead.
Countered.

loligarchy · Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2013 5:53 pm GMT Post subject:

Oh that's right, but yeah no real point in bothering to count that single extra point of magic.
Also I think I may have an idea about the board but I'm at work so I'll see if I really do in fact have any idea once I'm at home.
In any case, end of turn.

Bog Runner: 1 Save
Marsh Mage: 2 Magic
Marsh Mage: 2 Magic
Swamp Wizard: 4 Cantrip
Swamp Wizard: 3 ID
Swamp Wizard: 4 Cantrip
Swamp Wizard: 4 Cantrip

12 Cantrip, 3 ID (No Doubling for Real this time), 7 Magic = 22 Reserve Magic
So Open Grave, Wall of Ice and 6 Watery Doubles on my Horde Army just for kicks
I probably should have just left my Bog Runner where he was, though I suppose it really wouldn't change anything.

Second March
Manuever Attempt
Annihilator: 2 Melee
Annihilator: 5 Melee
Bog Runner: 1 Save
Bog Runner: 1 Save
Bog Runner: 1 Save
Marsh Swimmer: 2 Save
Marsh Swimmer: 2 Save
Swamp Giant: 4 ID

That would be 4 Manuevers, this is getting somewhat depressing really. Have I even been rolling manuever icons?

Magic
Annihilator: 3 ID
Annihilator: 3 Save
Bog Runner: 1 Save
Bog Runner: 1 ID
Bog Runner: 1 Save
Marsh Swimmer: 2 Save
Marsh Swimmer: 2 Save
Swamp Giant: 4 Save

4 ID, No Doubling 1/2 Dancing Lights =2 So no FoD this turn. I'll instead target your Horde with Foul Water.
Footman saves or dies.
It certainly seems like I'm just lashing out at you rather ineffectually isn't it?

Reserves
Move all reserve units to the Frontier.
Retreat my Swamp Giant, 2 Marsh Swimmers and 3 Bog Runners back to Reserves, leaving only the 2 Annihilators

Dolus · Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2013 7:47 pm GMT Post subject:

I'll allow the maneuver.

I'll make the save roll when I can.
