I would be interested in an online game, but am limited to playing time being in the evenings after 9pm most any night of the week as I own my own business and don't get near my dice until then.

I should be able to field a 36pt army, with some Dragonkin, I own some magic items/artifacts and could include minor terrains for the play.

Still newer to the game, but thanks to help on the forum I'm getting there. My honesty in my dice rolls will be revealed in the occasional misstep of how to play them.

This sounds great, I'd love to be your opponent. I've just constructed a relatively easy-going army, consisting exclusively of dice I actually own, and thought about setting up a game to ease back into the dragon dice side of things again. Also, I can manage the board (and like doing so), saving you some precious time . The time-difference might mean that we only get one post per day though, but I don't mind. Are you interested?

Tell me how large an army you want to use and I you want to use magic items or smaller terrains, et cetera.

I'll let you know if I can't match something in terms of what dice I have.

If I'm in front of my dice, I'll act as often as possible.

For the moment, I'm going to start constructing a 36 point army, thus assuming no more than 18 magic, 12 (right?) Dragonkin, and 2 dragons. Let me know if different. It will be several hours (at least 5 or 6) before I actually get to the constructing.

Thanks.

Yay, a game!

Oh, I've got plenty dice, more than enough to make multiple armies (if I may believe my signature, it should be 717, though it might be more). Just not as much from certain rares and monsters as I'd like when constructing armies. The basics are pretty much covered.

The force even has a theme! A small army of Firewalkers, under the lead of a mighty Firestormer, has been designated to investigate a strong magical anomaly beyond the mountians. To help them though the treacherous Highands, the Firewalkers have hired the aid of a Necromancer and his small group of Lava Elf bandits.

It's after midnight here, so I'll have to wait on the backstory...

That said here's what I've got so far:

In my Home Army situated at a Coastland Vortex:
1 - Coral Elf Enchanter
1 - Coral Elf Conjurers
1 - Coral Elf Archer
1 - Coral Elf Evoker
They have a green artifact Dragon Staff with them. (If you want me to skip the artifact and use other creatures, let me know).

In my Campaign Army (terrain as yet to be determined):
1 - Sprite Swarm
1 - Coral Elf Enchanter
1 - Coral Elf Trooper
2 - Coral Elf Bowmen
2 - Coral Elf Fighters

In my Horde Army (your terrain choice):
1 - Coral Giant
1 - Coral Elf Protector
3 - Coral Elf Bowmen
1 - Coral Elf Evoker

In my summoning area:
1 - Green Wyrm
1 - Blue Drake

1 - Green Dragonchamp
1 - Green Dragonsentry
1 - Blue Dragonmount
2 - Blue Dragonfoal
1 - Blue Dragonscout
1 - Green Dragonscout
1 - Green Dragontroop

1 - Coastland Woods
1 - Coastland Village

In all that gives me 12 points of Dragonkin and 18 points of Magic
2 - Coral Elf Evokers
1 - Coral Elf Conjuror
2 - Coral Elf Evokers
1 - Sprite Swarm
1 - Green Dragonstaff
In rolling my Horde Army for Determining Order of Play, I rolled:

1 - Coral Giant
1 - Coral Elf Protector
1 - Coral Elf Bowman
1 - Coral Elf Bowman
1 - Coral Elf Bowman
1 - Coral Elf Evoker


I won't bore you, but I did not roll a single maneuver. So I believe you get to chose to play first or select the Frontier terrain. Let me know.

My roll for starting distances at my Home Terrain - I rolled a 5 - Missile

I think that's all I have for now.

Just noticed that your brought in four minor terrains, so I'm going to add 2 - Coastland Knolls.

And by my count, you have 13 Dragonkin points. Let me know if I'm miscounting.

Thanks.

Good luck.

You are right on the Dragonkin, I'll remove one with the next update.

Magic items and artifacts are fun, so they are welcome. At a glance, your force looks solid. I did, however, noticed that you took a vortex as your home terrain, which under the current rules isn't possible as the 'special' terrains are limited to frontier-only. Finally, I advise you to look at your troop distribution across the terrain. Though it might be a super-tactical decision to split your troops evenly, it is generally considered to be safer and more effective to stick with a 18/17/1 division (in no particular order).

I'm off hiking for the day, I'll update with rolls and a new board tonight.

With the change to the terrain, make my home terrain a Standing Stone.

I'll leave the distribution as is and see what happens.

Do we still need to resolve the Frontier terrain/starting player?

Thanks.

Back from my hike with nice new sunburn

My Horde roll:


Result: 0 maneuvers

That's a tie, so we'll have to do a re-roll:


Result: 1 maneuver


I just noticed that I still require a proposed frontier.

The broken imagefile is an issue with DDinventory... I'll leave it in place for now, for demonstration purposes for others. It is pointing out to the correct die though.

I am just leaving work to head home.

I'm proposing a Coastland Vortex for Frontier.

I'll roll Horde as soon as I get home. Should be about 45 minutes until I post.

Thanks,

Horde Roll:

My Evoker and 1 Bowman rolled ID Icon and 1 Bowman rolled a maneuver. My Coral Giant rolled a trample (is that one or four maneuvers?). At minimum I have 4 and maybe 7 maneuvers.

So Coastland Vortex is Frontier.

Distance roll is 6 - melee.

Now I believe that since I chose the Frontier that you get first turn.

By the way, I didn't see what the starting distance for your Highland Home Frontier was...

Thanks.

[chuckpint]

Starting sequence is:
roll horde (reroll any ties)
high roll chooses first or frontier terrain
frontier terrain is chosen
Armies are placed (this is automatic in 2-player, not so much in 3 or more)
terrains are rolled

I won't oppose your Horde Roll.

Response to Firebolts
Bowman failed to save - moved to DUA
Fighter saved via maneuver roll (at Coastland)

March at Frontier I will oppose:

Enchanter and Bowman both roll ID icons - so that's 4 Maneuvers, right?

Have a good day.

[DialFforFunky]

• Second March:
  Maneuver:
  
  
  
  Result: 3 maneuvers, not enough to beat your 4.
  
  
  Action: I'll attack your army
  
  
  Result: 0 melee. Impressively useless. On the bright side, this does mean that you do not get to make a save roll (I did no damage, so there is nothing to save against). You can still counterattack though.
  
  
• Reserve Phase:
  Reinforce: Nothing.
  Retreat: (Assuming your mages don't manage to deal massive damage) My Firewalker mages, the Spider Rider, the Firestormer, Firemasters, Phoenix and Fusiliers all move to reserves.
  
• Spell and effect expiration: none
  

End my turn

Counter Attack
Two fighters and a bowman roll ID icons for 3 points of damage.

Save for the Evoker, Maneuver for the Trooper and Magic for the Sprite Swarm.

The hypothetical (in my mind) does not accurately reflect the damage I took from your Firebolts, correct?

First March
So assuming I should have 6 dice (short a Bowman) at Frontier. I will not attempt to maneuver.

Action

I will attack via Melee.

3 melee for Enchanter
2 melee for Fighter
1 melee for Fighter
1 melee for Bowman
Magic icon for Sprite Swarm
2 Maneuver Icon for Trooper

7 total Melee Damage...

Second March
I will attempt to Maneuver my Horde:

ID Icon for Protector (3)
ID Icon for Bowman (1)
1 Maneuver icon for Bowman
1 Maneuver icon for Evoker

6 Maneuver...obviously up to 2 if I win...

Action
Casting Magic regardless...

ID Icon for Protector (3)
ID Icon for Evoker (1)
Melee icons Bowman and Coral Giant
Missile icons for 2 Bowman

With 4 Magic...I summon a Green Dragonscout

Reserve Phase
Reinforce: Nothing
Retreat: Nothing

Spell and Effect Expiration
Nothing

End my turn

Seems like I forgot several things, my boar-keeping skills have gone slightly rusty. The Bowman was one of them, the other was my home being at 2. I suppose you'll want it to be maneuvered to 3?

• Save roll against the counter-attack:
  
  
  
  Result: 4 saves, no damage taken.
  
  
  
• Maneuver attempt at my home:
  I cannot outmaneuver 6 maneuvers, so you'll get to change it from 2 to 1 or 3 (or you can keep it at to if you want, I'm ok with that)
  
  
  
• Save roll against the melee attack:
  
  
  
  Result: 3 saves, the Warlock and 2 Adepts are sent to the DUA. I won't counter-attack.

  3 red - Spark of Life to return an Adept to life.
  
  
  
• Second March: @ the frontier
  Maneuver: yes, do you oppose?

Go ahead and maneuver your home to 3.

For the magic, is that a typo and it should be Wind Wall x2 which would give 6 extra saves to your Frontier army? Does that affect my ability to maneuver the terrain if I choose to attempt on my turn or just affect combat?

I will oppose the second march:

Yippee! One Bowman gets a maneuver.

Wind Walk was intended here, the Adepts could do with a bit of help .

• Second March: @ the frontier
  Maneuver: yes
  
  
  Result: 2 maneuvers + 8 = 10
  I'll maneuver the terrain to 7
  
  Action: nah, I think I'm good.
  
  
  
• Reserve Phase:
  Reinforce: All reserves move to the frontier
  Retreat: My Fusiliers move to reserves. The dragonkin moves back to the summoning pool.
