Return to Gobwin Bump

[BLANDCorporatio]

I was thinking of making a dash, attack stack Y (it has only 20 Attack) then retreat to where stack Z used to be.

LtDave, is this possible?

[Twoy]

Stack Y has a 56 defense because of the wall.

[BLANDCorporatio]

Right you are.

Then, Lord Wivingston attacks the remnants of stack Z, after which he and his stack retreat to the starting point.

Since the Rocking out Diwi has more than enough attack to croak the gobwin, and seeing as how one shot wonder for Z is out, no need to run calcs to see that: Z is croaked; Diwi takes no damage.

[HerbieRai]

I was hoping to get another commander soon. I only got freddy because I had to have a commander. I thought the level 4 scout was more important.

Should I move my stack up as well, or should they stay back? the 2 manbearpigs do have a decent bit of hits and defense to absorb damage if need be, and the it would allow us to see a little more. Although the cav. could take my stack out.

[Twoy]

I hope you will move your stack up, because if not, GK will be able to double bump either my stack or Saruham's stack.

Perhaps you should consider leaving your scout behind at the base camp just in case. It is very valuable, and probably not necessary to take it all the way to the foot of Goblin Hollow's walls.

Speaking of which:

Queen Jadis advances with her 8 Dwarf Siege and her Cherry Blossom Scout to D3.

Yes, you can engage in combat, then move (with remaining move) to any scouted hex with no enemy presence.

[LTDave]

46 of the 96 hours have passed. If the Alliance completes movement, we can move on to turn 2.

Cheers

[BLANDCorporatio]

So far we have:

Z stack croaked. Mostly by Saruham (whose stack stayed at Z's location: D3) and a bit by Wivingston (who returned to base: B2).
Also at D3, Queen Jadis.

Still at B2, Freddy and the lvl 4 scout- the decision to move any of them is not yet official.

[HerbieRai]

Another Question: Do scouts and commanders have to be tied to stacks, or can they be alone?

If they can be alone
Freddy 2 manbearpigs and Christmas critter move to D3

If not
Freddy and 2 manbearpig move to D3
level 4 scout and Christmas critter stay at base

Hopefully that makes sense.

[LTDave]

Q. Do scouts and commanders have to be tied to stacks, or can they be alone?
A. They must be part of a stack. If they are alone, they die.

So that's the second of your movement options.
Are we all done? Ready for turn 2?

[LTDave]

About 22 hours remain until the Alliance turn auto-ends.

If you want to change anything, better do it now!

[LTDave]

Ferrr-DuRRRRPPP!

The Alliance Turn has now ended. The Gobwin Bump turn will begin once my kids are in bed (an hour or two).

Player have 96 hours from now to complete their turns.

Actually, I am arbitrarily changing that to 84 hours, so that I can process the turn saturday morning my time, rather than having to wait until Monday, what with a busy weekend and all. Any objections? Good.

84 hours from... wait for it... NOW!

Quick question: Can warlords and scouts be upgraded after they pop? I.e. can I spend 50 points to give saruham another special, or pop a warlord without a special and give him one later? In similar fashion, can I level a rank 1 scout to rank 2 by spending the difference in points?

[HerbieRai]

I really don't want you to destroy me, but your spiders are cav against my stabbers, so you actually had 60 base attack. Also, the combat spoiler says i did 1 damage to you, not 1 damage to me.

60 * .2 = 12, still too low.

[Twoy]

Before any one does anything hasty, let me knock down the walls.

If I use my whole stack I have 100 percent chance to destroy the walls.

6 units=97 percent
5 units=91.5 percent.

If I use the three units that are left to bombard an archer stack, on a roll of 7, I do 11 points of damage.

A Good point. I have edited the combat post.

I'm going to say yes, but with this limitation - the scout or commander must begin the turn in the Spawn Point, ie, your base camp.
