Highland Standing Stones: 2 Magic

Let me know if this board looks right... Isn't that 45 health? Did you mean runners instead of envoys maybe?

Looks good. Yeah, runners not envoys. XD

Dolus · Posted: Mon Dec 31, 2012 4:47 am GMT Post subject:

1st March - Home
No maneuver, Magic
Inferno : 3 Magic
Inferno : 2 Maneuver
Inferno : 2 Maneuver
Inferno : 6 Magic
Unseelie Faerie : 4 ID

9 magic + 4 ID (doubles for red) for 17 magic.
Now I see I did screw up in that almost all of my racial spells are useless against your home and frontier terrains...

I'll cast 5x Firestorm for 15 magic on the frontier terrain, dealing 10 damage to each of our armies. That's enough to kill both of our armies even with the maximum saves I believe.

The remaining 2 will cast a watery double on my horde.

2nd March
I'll attempt to maneuver your home terrain. Will you oppose?
Blazer : 4 Flaming
Blazer : 2 Maneuver
Blazer : 3 ID
Blazer : 3 Maneuver
Dragonne Knight : 2 Save
Dragonne Knight : 3 ID

11 maneuvers.

Zjeng · Posted: Mon Dec 31, 2012 10:36 am GMT Post subject:

Yes I will counter (but failed 10 maneuver).
War Driver: 3 Trample
Harbinger: 3 ID
Harbinger: 4 Counter
Battle Driver: 2 Melee
Battle Driver: 2 ID
Runner: 1 ID
Runner: 1 Melee
Runner: 1 ID

Dolus · Posted: Mon Dec 31, 2012 12:54 pm GMT Post subject:

Maneuver down to 5 - Missile and fire at your home army:

Blazer - 3 Maneuver
Blazer - 2 Maneuver
Blazer - 4 Blazing Arrows
Blazer - 6 Missile
Dragonne Knight - 3 ID
Dragonne Knight - 3 ID

With flaming arrows, I guess I'll target your War Driver to save against the 4 damage. If it can't, it must roll a save or be buried.

Then 12 missile incoming.

No reserves.

Zjeng · Posted: Mon Dec 31, 2012 1:56 pm GMT Post subject:

Okay the wardrivers buried:
Harbinger: 4 Counter
Harbinger: 3 Maneuver
Battle Driver: 2 Melee
Battle Driver: 2 Save
Runner: 1 Save
Runner: 1 Save
Runner: 1 Save

9 saves (3 die) I'll kill off three runners.
I'm going to only do one march at my home without maneuvering. and do a ranged attack (5 missiles maneuver counts as missile).

Harbinger: 3 Melee
Harbinger: 3 Save
Battle Driver: 3 Maneuver
Battle Driver: 2 Save
Runner: 1 ID
Runner: 1 Maneuver
Runner: 1 Melee

Then I'm reserving everything.

I screwed up so we gotta roll back the turns quite a bit. I thought 5 on Flatland was Missile, apparently it's Melee and I'm stupid. So that makes my attack at your home a melee roll, and also makes flaming arrows do nothing.

So this means I got 6 melee damage against you. You produced much more than 6 saves so you're safe. You did get a counter. My watery double saves 1 from it, but I'll let a blazer take the other three damage and die. You also have your other Harbinger alive, so go ahead and roll one more of them to see if you get another counter. If you do, I'll take another Blazer.

Then you'll have an opportunity for counter-attack and I may reconsider my reserves. Sorry for the mess up. A bit of a reversal of positions. Wink

no worries. I can't believe I missed that, too. Also, I didn't kill off the Harbinger with the flaming arrows. So i think it's fine that one harbinger countered, and the other didn't.

Though it's scary, I will counter... or not. They're too freaking scary. LOL

Okay, counter attack (with 14 melee):
War Driver: 3 Trample
Harbinger: 4 Counter
Harbinger: 4 Counter
Battle Driver: 3 Maneuver
Battle Driver: 3 Maneuver
Runner: 1 Maneuver
Runner: 1 Melee
Runner: 2 Melee

Dolus · Posted: Tue Jan 01, 2013 11:26 pm GMT Post subject:

Save Roll:

Blazer : 3 Maneuver
Blazer : 3 Maneuver
Blazer : 3 ID
Dragonne Knight : 3 ID
Dragonne Knight : 4 Fly

Watery Double = 1

11 saves total, so I'll take one Dragonne Knight as a casualty. I believe you take 4 damage in casualties due to Scorching Touch and the Fly results?

I'll retreat my Horde to my reserves.

Zjeng · Posted: Tue Jan 01, 2013 11:37 pm GMT Post subject:

that two melee, is supposed to be two maneuver. LOL this game is snake bit. I've updated the information to correct it. So, you actually take no casualties. As for the save, yeah, it's "non-id" so it must be damaging me in return. I'll eliminate: the three runners.

Dolus · Posted: Tue Jan 01, 2013 11:51 pm GMT Post subject:

In the case of no casualties, I won't retreat then and keep everybody there. I'll update the board. Let me know if I set it correctly.

Dolus · Posted: Tue Jan 01, 2013 11:52 pm GMT Post subject:

With me doing no reserves, I think this board should be correct and represents the start of your turn, now. Please check it too and let me know if anything is wrong or incorrect still.

Scorching Touch only applies when the Scalders are attacked in melee. It does not apply on a counter-attack. So if the acting player chooses to melee attack Scalders, he can get scorched. But when the non-acting player counter-attacks, there is no scorching.
