The Battle for Gobwin Bump: Book Two

[The Black Hand]

"You're quite welcome, Duke."

Delacroix turned to his ten Militants.

"Fighters, arm up! Seven of you come with me, the rest remain with Duke Kettwey, and follow his orders as you would mine.

I plan to lead the final attack upon the enemy's command cadre at the northern pass. Our primary target is the enemy Commander - though if that Twoll gets in the way, feel free to kill it as well.

. . . What do you mean, someone needs to attack those unled golems? I thought that had been taken care of already!"

------

Orders:

Kanite units restack: Delacroix+ 7x Militant (Team Fireball), 3x Militant (separate stack from Kettwey's but assigned to him)

Team Fireball: Orders pending due to confusion.

Stats: Team Fireball has base Attack of 23, average defense of 2, total of 20 Hits, and a leadershop bonus of 1.3 (1.2 from Delacroix + 0.1 CW bonus)

[Sihoiba]

The Black Hand someone needs to attack the non Leader Gowem stack before we can hit the Leader stack again...

[BLANDCorporatio]

Y'all are welcome.

A clarification, to be safe- when anybody says "return to camp", it surely means after the battle is finished and both stacks (attacker and defender) deal damage. No hit and run so far, as it would negate XP.

Updating unit roster-

and here it is for ease of planning, a unit reference.

Note: stuff that happened after this post (like Team Fireball's attack) is not yet included in this reference.

[The Black Hand]

Disregard this post.

[The Black Hand]

The Black Hand someone needs to attack the non Leader Gowem stack before we can hit the Leader stack again...

Crumbs, I thought someone had that already -.-

[BLANDCorporatio]

Yes someone should go for Team Cliff-Face (the Gowem and 2 Twolls) again.

My sight is set on the Dwaconian, but I'd rather not waste that much offensive. Or if I do, then at least give it some chance to gain XPs.

See what you can make of it, but also it would be great for Peter and/or Edmund to get 1XP.

[Sihoiba]

"Graf could you get us a list of the MCC units which have not attacked, and the Commanders who could still earn XP? With the enemy fighting resolve weakening as they weather our attacks, each Commander has to do less to earn some XP."

[Twoy]

I think I have a good plan here:

1. Dwaconian vs. Clff Face. Dwaconian takes max 8 hits.
-------
2. King Peter vs. Gobwins. Gobwins take 2-3 hits. Peter gets xp.
3. Delacroix vs. Leader stack. Leader stack takes 2-3 points. Delacroix gets xp.
4. Golmon Knight vs. Cliff Face. Golmon Knight takes max 4 hits and survives.
-------
5. Dagnabit vs Leader. Leader stack takes 1-2 hits. Dagnabit gets xp.
6. Dwakvir vs. Gobwin stack. Gobwins take 1-3 hits. Dwakvir gets xp.

If there are any units left alive in the two target stacks, then:
7. Golmon Knight vs. Cliff Face. Golmon Knight takes max 2 hits and survives.
-------
8. King Edmund finishes off survivor getting an xp.

No allied units lost. All enemy units in both stacks destroyed. Every warlord gets an xp!!!

[BLANDCorporatio]

Twoy, good plan, 2 suggestions-

- position 8 should read Edmund I think;
- haven't checked the math, but are you sure that each commander, attacking alone, can inflict sufficient damage to get the XP? If yes, then go right ahead! If not, we have units to spare, so no biggie.

So yes, I think we can proceed with Twoy's plan. Let them, or anyone else, run the numbers (I can't right now, work stuff etc).

If any survivors left in Team Gobwin or Team Leader, and we have units left, round 3. If not, I'll wrap the turn up after we restack the commanders for protection.

By popular request, a list of available units and commanders that have not yet attacked. (This list assumes the events of Round 1, and then Kettwey's attack. Anything else is yet to happen).

Commanders:


Lord Dwakvir
Confessor Marcion Delacroix
General Dagnabit
High King Peter
King Edmund

Troops:

2 Golmon Knights
10 Kanite Militants
5 Dwacon Knights
1 Dwaconian
2 Dwarf Champions
7 Axe Dwarfs

[The Black Hand]

Well, I doubt it would be just the commanders going up against the enemy - I'd think they'd take some troops with them to be on the safe side.

[Crovius]

Commander Dagnabit would take his champions, Baldur and Bragi with him into combat. Adn the Axe dwarves are available for whatever commander wants a soldier or two to take the brunt of the defender's counterattack.

[Twoy]

I will run the next battles using this post as the seed for the 1st battle. Note the minor change to combat order so that Dagnabit might be able to roll with his champions.
1. Dwaconian vs. Clff Face. Dwaconian takes max 8 hits.
-------
2. King Peter vs. Gobwins. Gobwins take 2-3 hits. Peter gets xp.
3. Delacroix vs. Leader stack. Leader stack takes 2-3 points. Delacroix gets xp.
4. Golmon Knight vs. Cliff Face. Golmon Knight takes max 4 hits and survives.
-------
5. Dwakvir vs. Gobwin stack. Gobwins take 1-3 hits. Dwakvir gets xp.
6. Dagnabit vs Leader. Leader stack takes 1-2 hits. Dagnabit gets xp.

If there are any units left alive in the two target stacks, then:
7. Golmon Knight vs. Cliff Face. Golmon Knight takes max 2 hits and survives.
-------
8. King Edmund finishes off survivor getting an xp.
|||||||||
1. Dwaconian vs. Clff Face.
Dwaconian took 6 hits.
Gowem took 2 hits.

That all went as planned.

Before we all pull back to the camp and end turn, Chief Warlord, I hope you will check with Bob the Guy and make sure he has completed his move. I have not heard any horns from his direction in a while.

[BLANDCorporatio]

Team Cliff Face took 5 hits. Not sure where the Gowem's hit points are at exactly, but somewhere around -8 out of 30. Unfortunately, no death by 1,000 cuts for him.

Good work Twoy.

I think you may have rounded damage up a few times, so it needs checking, but it will not change the result as far as I can tell.

Doing that check now ...

done. Here it is, for all battles, whether they were corrected or not:

Dwaconian vs. Cliff-Face: 1 dam. vs 6 dam. (Cliff Face did 6 damage, the Dwaconian did 1).
High King Peter vs. Gobwins: 3 vs 0, King Peter gains 1 XP
Delacroix vs Leader: 2 vs 1 (Twoll is still croaked, but Commandew has 2 hits left!)
Golmon Knight vs. Cliff-Face: 0 vs 3
Dwakvir vs. Gobwins: 2 vs 0, Dwakvir gains 1 XP.
Dagnabit vs Leader: 1 vs 0, Dagnabit gains 1 XP (however, Commandew is still alive! *cough* add some Foddermen to that battle)
Edmund (and stack) vs Cliff-Face: 5 vs 2, Edmund gains 1 XP.
