23 hours for next set of orders...
And this phase the enemy moves, so you can't. Ok.

[The Colonel]

I cast a spell on you, Illusion

TARGET THE CHAMP!

[HerbieRai]

Numma To is going to shout for a heal, then precise shot W, unless the mage "T" moves into the second rank. If he does, then I'll precise shot him.

[Werebiscuit]

No no no... NO ! Ze rrhite. I said ze von on ze rrhite !

ohh... Hokey, zo it vorked. Heven if you do not know your rrhite from left.
Ve need to take out zat caster. Laydeehelves, you target eem, hokey ?

Precise blow on U

[Swodaems]

Time to parry again

[BLANDCorporatio]

Keep guarding Chess, strike again at the nearest enemy.

Gosh darn, 'tis hard to scratch anyone at all!

[Werebiscuit]

Vait ! Vot is shee sqzeelinz about ? Ve av a 'ealer ? Vy didn'y you zay zo ? Fooool !

Ve cannot vait till peoples are 'urt. By zat time zey vill be targetz.
Ve must av ze 'ealingz at vonce, ztartinz wiz ze most 'urt

*mutters under his breath* Casterz.... zey vill be ze death ov mee....

[Exate]

Numma Trois (Exate) support Derek in attacking V… COM 3 + RDM 3 - DEF 5 AND MODS 0 Support & V Mighty Blow = 1 Hits inflicted
Derek (A.B.C.) goes berserk on V… COM 2 + RDM 2 - DEF 5 AND MODS 6 Berserking & V Mighty Blow = 5 Hits inflicted

I am reasonably certain that the second line here should be:
Derek (A.B.C.) goes berserk on V… COM 2 + RDM 2 - DEF 5 AND MODS 8 Berserking & Numma Trois Support & V Mighty Blow = 7 Hits inflicted

The distinction here is important, because it means Derek gets the kill and levels, while Otto is freed up for an attack against a different enemy.

[Werebiscuit]

Support - +2 to Combat of a specific Adjacent character of the same combat type – melee, ranged, caster. You may not support and attack. Multiple Characters can support the same attack.

Sorry Exate but you might be forgetting this... if it still stands. I don't know if it does or not because your tightened up orders don't mention it.

[Werebiscuit]

* Francoise eyes go wide as he realizes a gap has opened in front of him*

* he frantically backpedals into Tim - to little effect, blocking wildly*

Spoiler: show

changing my orders to Block (probably on the champion) and attack U

P.S. I know we can't move (more's the pity now the reinforcements are appearing) the backpeddling was for comic effect

[Exate]

Support - +2 to Combat of a specific Adjacent character of the same combat type – melee, ranged, caster. You may not support and attack. Multiple Characters can support the same attack.

Sorry Exate but you might be forgetting this... if it still stands. I don't know if it does or not because your tightened up orders don't mention it.

That was dropped from the order rules for logical reasons- it's perfectly reasonable for different attack types to support one another in attacking as long as they are next to each other to coordinate. A fireball or arrow can certainly mess with someone enough to screw up their defense against a sword or pike, after all. Since Derek is located directly in front of Numma Trois and is therefore adjacent I anticipated no problems.

It's not impossible that LTDave went with the earlier version of the rules and didn't specifically note that the Support bonus was lost while the penalty remained, but if that's the case I would like that cleared up as well.

[LTDave]

You are correct - it should read:

Derek (A.B.C.) goes berserk on V… COM 2 + RDM 2 - DEF 5 AND MODS 8 Berserking & V Mighty Blow & Support = 7 Hits inflicted (Levels!)
Otto (five-thirteen) moves up and strikes nearest target…W… COM 2 + RDM 3 - DEF 6 AND MODS 0 = 0 Hits inflicted

And the support thing of the same kind was removed.
V is cwoaked, and cannot be healed.
Derek levels and gets +1 to hits, and +1 to either Combat or Defense.

[A.B.C.]

In his bloody, gory (but still pretty chill) battle rage, Derek takes the bonus for Combat and berserks on the champion, W. With a little more help, that should whittle him down to croak-able level next turn.

[Exate]

Numma Trois will Mighty Shot at Enemy X.

[BLANDCorporatio]

Iowzer. "Fall back Otto!"

Ian Marius Stanley will keep guarding Chess, and swing at closest enemy. (Even though, with the guard mod, the chance of inflicting damage is nil).

[Werebiscuit]

Hokey !. We hall fall back. Both zides, step back !
You ! Loudmouth, *elbows Ian in the breastplate straps to get his attention* reform ze front line wiz mee. You ztep acroz like zo.
*waits for Otto to step back and steps diagonally across to take up his position*

Vhere is Zat 'ealer !

[HerbieRai]

Numma To shouts in her unnaturally manly voice "Melee units focus on X, archers (and halbared in the front rank) focus on the caster. They can't heal both of them this round."

Numma To precise shots T again.

[MarbitChow]

It's time to break this line. Rider will charge U and swing a Mighty Blow.
