cliffwiggs · Posted: Fri Feb 27, 2015 8:47 am GMT Post subject:

that was close. you needed two maneuvers [doubled to 4] to win (just one [doubled] would've tied)

So the terrain is at a 7.

You are trying to turn it back up so my counter there is:
Runner - 1 ID
Runner - 1 ID
Runner - 1 ID
Runner - 1 ID
Runner - 1 ID
Runner - 1 Melee
Runner - 1 Melee

Runner - 1 Maneuver
Runner - 1 Missile
Runner - 1 Missile
Runner - 1 Missile
Runner - 1 Missile
Runner - 1 Missile
Runner - 1 Save
Runner - 1 Save

13 maneuvers.

it stays at a 7.

taking an action before your second march?

Im sure its accidental. Im thinking through what I think you're gonna do and i what i need to do to win.

Obviously my grasp of the strategies are weak at this point!!

Ha!!

cliffwiggs · Posted: Fri Feb 27, 2015 9:48 am GMT Post subject:

btw you said you are leaving a 'marksman' behind at the frontier but you only have one marksman and he is in your horde?

did I miss a move or did you swap him from one army to the other? or did you mean the crossbowman?

the marksman was part of the melee attack I just saved.

but I want to confirm which you meant before I start my turn.

ok, so I'm going to take two marches (thank you for that)

6 maneuvers - FAIL!!!!

Finally!

This is a common gimmick army, I didn't know if I would make it happen. I original choose it to teach modification order. subtract, divide, multiple, add, racial abilitys[convert/count as]

I capture the 8th face and declare a missile attack against your army at my home. since I captured the 8th face, I get to pick any action. You can only melee.

Runner - 1 ID
Runner - 1 ID
Runner - 1 Melee
Runner - 2 Maneuver
Runner - 2 Maneuver
Runner - 2 Maneuver
Runner - 2 Maneuver
Runner - 2 Maneuver
Runner - 2 Maneuver
Runner - 1 Maneuver
Runner - 1 Maneuver
Runner - 1 Maneuver
Runner - 1 Missile
Runner - 1 Missile
Runner - 1 Save
Runner - 1 Save
Runner - 1 Save
Runner - 1 Save
Runner - 1 Save
Runner - 1 Save
Runner - 1 Save

That is 2 ID (which are missile) and 2 Missile (which are missile) and 15 maneuvers.

I wasn't rolling for maneuvers, but when you roll all dice roll what they roll and usually you only care about one thing.

The maneuvers get to double because of my 8th face ability - double saves and double maneuvers. This always happens, even if I don't normally care about the maneuver results.
So the 15 becomes 30.

NOW, my racial ability as amazons at an flatland. maneuvers count as missile.

So that is a total of 34 missile damage for you to save against.

Just to avoid someone claiming that I 'turtled' and put everyone at one terrain,
I will reinforce my 4 units from reserves to the frontier

EOT

btw - magic can help beat this type of army by reducing maneuvers via things like rock2mud and ashstorm. or just keeping it out of a missile face.
