I think this is right.
By the way, my Guard is TICKED at the lack of respect. You could, at least, have killed him
First March -
Maneuver Frontier up, as it's unopposed. Now 3 - Missile.
Missile action vs. DK's
Save for those ... even though it's not enough to kill anyone
As for you, results of saves are irrelevant to the remainder.
Second march -
Maneuver your home down, again unopposed. Now 1 - Magic.
Magic action.
Horseman - ID - 1 Magic, doubled to 2 Green. (doubled for terrain match, right?)
Cast Watery Double on my Frontier army.
Reserves -
Retreat everyone but the Coral Giant, Assaulter and Attacker at the Frontier to reserves.
Have to run to court for a bit. Should be able to get in another turn or two before the end of the workday. |

There were a few other ways I coulda gone, but I decided to try this one.

Heh, and the Coral Giant shouldn't even really be in there. I was just so thrilled to pull one the other day, I couldn't resist. |

I'll kill the guard this turn. Yes you can double the green. looks good.
I'm not sure what the missile damage is I'm saving against, but you said its not enough to kill, so I'll ignore it and update the board.

Dragonne Knight-2 Maneuver
Dragonne Knight-4 Fly

you can't stop me.

Melee attack against the Guard with the soiled armour.
Dragonne Knight-4 Fly

Dragonne Knight-3 ID

no possible way to save 5 damage, so he dies, so no counter attack
Reserves
... based on being at a 6, I don't have time to pop out and shoot you once. so you get a free turn as I run to an 8th.
Move ALL to your home.
EOT
BTW - I'm doing the updating this way because it forces the other player to acknowledge everything I did, so they wont be surprised and miss something. the other way is to update at the end of your own turn, but I prefer this. _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

Hold on, I may not have been clear enough about my turn - there appear to be misunderstandings.

How bad am I at this gaming online? Bad enough not to have even put my roll in when I made it. You couldn't see it from where you were?
I got a whole two missile results - thus the "no damage" joke. My fault.

This was my reserve move - what I was trying to convey here (and it was probably not clear as I was running out the door to court) was that absolutely everyone, from everywhere, was going to reserves, with the sole exception of the Coral Giant, Assaulter and Attacker currently located at the frontier. So the Guard, while offended, ran into hiding with almost everyone else.
Sorry if this was unclear - I'll do my whole move in a separate post next time and spell it out more clearly. Let me know how to sort this out.
Apologies,
BLM |

yeah, it was a bit ambiguous. Let me see how that changes my turn...
I would've still cast magic. I still would have turned the terrain up. The Guard is not dead.
on my reserve move... I would not have made my reserve move until I'd seen where you were going. I can't pull them out to either terrain 'safely', so leave my missile guys all in reserve.
then you can take your turn (which will probably consist of a magic action, turning the frontier up, missiling my riders, and then the reinforcement that I haven't figured out yet...) _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

I think this is right ... although I initially stuck the Guard in the DUA by accident anyway. He obviously IS suicidal. |

the one thing you forgot was my 3 watery doubles. so the 5 damage is reduced to 2 which can't kill one of the dragonne knights.
I have to help the kids with homework and will take my turn later tonight. It'll start with magic and end with melee, but I want time to do it slow and keep all the spells straight. for example your watery doubles just ended, but your wall of ice will last a bit longer. _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

So just to formalize it.
Saving against 5 damage...
Dragonne Knight-2 Melee
Dragonne Knight-4 Fly
Dragonne Knight-2 Melee
Dragonne Knight-2 Save
Dragonne Knight-2 Melee
Dragonne Knight-6 Maneuver
so 3 from the spell plus 6 is more than 5.
Now then here's what I think the board looks like. you said 'MY' home. so confirm this before I take my obvious turn.
Start of Cliff's Turn.
Reserves
| DUA
| BUA
| Cliff's Horde
(3 x watery double-EoNT)

| Cliff's Home
| Brad's Home
| Frontier

BTW - this makes no difference to the game, but all those saves against missile were not needed. As a Scalder I got 6 autosaves against missile (1 per die)
so I technically never needed to roll. _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

Talk about not knowing your enemy - sheesh. File that under "BLM learning racial rule the hard way".
Well, I'm set up for it, so might as well take one turn this way.
First march - Frontier
Maneuver up to 5 - Missile, unopposed
Missile action vs. obvious target
Sharpshooter - ID (3 missile)
Horseman - ID (1 missile)
Eagle Knight - 3 missile
Attacker - 2 missile
Assaulter - 3 missile
12 Missile, against ... let's see ... carry the one ... 13 automatic saves. Not much.
Second march - Your Home
No maneuver.
Magic action
Evoker - ID - Doubled to 4 Magic
Evoker - ID - Doubled to 4 Magic
Magus - 2 Magic
Apprentice - 2 Magic
So 4 blue/black, 8 blue/green
Wall of Fog on my army at your Home (Mages) - 6 green
Lightning Strike on one of your Blazers. - 6 blue
No reserves for this turn.

ok, so lets do this. you know I'm not rolling for missile right? I'm rolling for flaming arrows
(and I know I mixed up fog and ice for a second)
so unopposed turn to capture the 8thface tower.
take a missile action against your mages.
Blazer-4 Flaming Arrow
Blazer-2 Maneuver
Blazer-1 Missile
Blazer-6 Missile
Blazer-2 Maneuver
Dragonne Knight-3 ID
Dragonne Knight-2 Melee
Dragonne Knight-6 Maneuver
Dragonne Knight-2 Save
Dragonne Knight-2 Save
Dragonne Knight-2 Melee
Burner-1 Maneuver
Glower-1 Missile
4 flaming arrows and then 11 missile (which goes down to 5)
so, I have to target one of your mages with all 4 damage (which is going to kill it) and then it have to save or be buried
I choose.... the Conjurer. Even though killing a frostwing is more likely to reduce the saves against the remaining damage. the coral elf mage is more likely to be buried and he can double his ID, while the frostwing can't.
no second march and No reserves
if you only lose one die you did good. _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

Conjurer - 2 Melee
My units remain confused as to their purpose. They can't even die doing their job.
Saves roll:
Apprentice - ID (one save)
Evoker - Maneuver (one save)
So, two saves, three damage. Kill two Apprentices and an Evoker.
I don't think there is much of this game left, sadly
I'll have to take my turn and update the table tomorrow. You can go to bed with the Buried Conjurer and three dead common mages as a good victory.
We won't comment on the inability to get off a single lightning strike effectively  |

We can play to conclusion or stop if you want.
If you want to play with dice you don't own I can show you the dice roller that I use to play. It doesn't work on all browsers, but its a nice way to play with dice you don't own and you can avoid the sound of dice rolling at your desk while at work
either way its your turn. _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |
