Return to Gobwin Bump

[HerbieRai]

Who will move north with me? My lvl 4 scout should be able to scout any cities to the north next turn, but I'd like another stack with me in case of attack.

Poping 40 + 11 (left over) = 51
giving darth vader lookamancy 51 - 50 = 1 left over

If I can use lookamancy this turn I'll look at F7

If not, here are my orders:

4 christmas critters in e4 stack together and move to G5

Freddies stack moves to H6

[BLANDCorporatio]

Wait a little on moving north- if Bad Stuff doesn't happen, the SG will tag along.

About Bad Stuff- this relates to possible undesirable outcomes of the parley with Elves. My idea is that it's only worth planning what to do once that parley is complete. I don't want to move a stack this turn, then, once its move is spent, find out that the Elf stacks will attack GB. At least if the Elves do not declare war on our turn, but go on to take GB on our off-turn regardless, I can act surprised and outraged, outraged, I say.

[Twoy]

Two Questions:

1. Can we destroy cities we control?
2. Can we destroy walls in a hex that we control

[LTDave]

1. Can we destroy cities we control?
I suppose so. Why would you want to?
It will take 1 stack of 8 units per level of the city to destroy it in one turn.

2. Can we destroy walls in a hex we control?
Yes - it will take 1 stack of 8 units a full turn to destroy the walls in an empty hex.

Conversations continue in [i5]:
"The Gobwins are a cursed blight on this part of the Erf."
"That we signed an agreement with them was necessary, not desirable."
"We are not impressed with Dwarf emissaries of Cwoakamancers."
"We will not interfere in your intervention. We invite you to respect our territory, which extends 2 hexes in every direction from our many cities. Enter our borders at your own risk."

[BLANDCorporatio]

Well, the Elves said they are neutral. I totally believe them, so HerbieRai, where to?

[HerbieRai]

We need to know the lookamancy question first. If we can see F7 (with lookamancy from Darth Vader), then we'll move to G7, otherwise we'll go to H6. The 2 of our main stacks should be plenty of defense.

[tigerusthegreat]

I don't trust the elves, but there's little we can do about it. We should take GP, hunt down Gwegor, and take any other cities to the north.

[Twoy]

1. Can we destroy cities we control?
I suppose so. Why would you want to?

To stop our enemies from retaking the city and using it as a pop point.

QUESTION: Can Darth Vader use his lookamancy this turn? If yes, please see HerbieRai's post at the top of this page.

[LTDave]

If I can use lookamancy this turn I'll look at F7

QUESTION: Can Darth Vader use his lookamancy this turn? If yes, please see HerbieRai's post at the top of this page.

My answer is yes and no, depending on what the question means.
Yes - he can use Lookamancy this turn, and what he spots will be listed in the next turn's scout report.
No - I'm not going to give you a scout report on F7 and surrouding hexes this turn.
A Lookamancer is like a complicated scout - you can say which set of hexes you want to inspect, and at the beginning of the next turn (like a scout) you will see those hexes.

[LTDave]

I would like to end the turn 4 hours earlier, so I can process Sunday night. To this end, the turn will now end at 7pm AET (9am GMT) this Sunday. That is, in about 45 hours.

[HerbieRai]

Ah, I get it now.

Freddy's stack move to H6

Darth Vader uses lookamancy on C9

[Twoy]

Pop points=46
Pop 1 Centaur=35 (46-25=11 pp remaining)

Jadis and Edmund move to H6.

Peter upgrades the walls of Fort Beaver to 68. (LTDave: I think you missed one of the walls' upgrades in your last update.)

And utter failure.
1 Twoll is cwoaked, and the archers keep their one shot, so the archers can't hit the Pikers. They can't possibly get past the Urukham Archers Defence, so no more combats.

The Gobwin Bump has come to an end.

The turn will end in 92 hours, which is 7pm Thursday AET (9am GMT).

[HerbieRai]

So my idea is most of our units in beaver camp march north to Little bump. Fliers wait till tigers report

Tiger, assess your current ability to take goboport. If you need assistance fliers will head your way. Otherwise filers march up with the force attacking little bump.

I figure forming stacks (bogrolls, stormtroopers, ect) can stay back and protect the spawn. I'm not sure if moving the spawn to Bump would be good since it has no walls.

[tigerusthegreat]

Well since they are able to use it as a pop area, (as evidenced by the new twolls) I don't think I can do it alone. If I take down the archers, can I get some air support?
