Battle for The Deeps (Part 1) Turn 1

[turbler]

Units edited.
I'll start with 2 Flying Fish, 1 Sentinel and 1 Tactician please.

[Fkrts]

With the best of the coallition assembled it was time to enter the fray. Gobwin Knob took their turn but it passed without event. The first turn has begun and so has a new age for erf. The commanders stand ready for battle.



The Hussar scouts out the nearest four hexes but finds no enemy's. It is now the first movement phase.

The Gitaxians move North-Northwest-Northwest.

[The Colonel]

Do I move in a northernly direction? or do I move towards the bridge?

[tigerusthegreat]

Questions: do we get points for popping new units this turn, or does that start next turn.

Are we able to upgrade our city, and what is the cost.

[Fkrts]

The cost to upgrade a city is the next level up * 50 so to get to level 2 it would be 100 points

You don't get points this turn.

[tigerusthegreat]

The forces of thr woods will garrison the city for this turn

[turbler]

I'll move my troops N-NW-NW-NW-N
Also, I'd like to note that I've changed my Tactician's stats (however your unit details don't reflect this). Not a big deal, but I'm just making sure this is clear for later.
Another thing of note: 5 turns from now Gobwin Knob will have just as many resources (not including combat losses and such) as us, and from then on they'll have progressively more Shmuckers than us. We should still be careful, but we need to act quickly, as well.

[WhirdCheese]

I think we should send two people to the top bridge and one to each of the either. The or my other plan is to send everyone to one bridge.

[The Colonel]

May I go to the closest bridge and set up a defensive line?

[Fkrts]

I'll be updating around 7-8 central time this evening. Also because there is no enemy contact there will be no second move phase so use it up now. I'm currently assuming that The Colonel is moveing as close to the south bridge as possible. Everyone else seems to be in order.

[The Colonel]

Yes I am, with the hussar staying a little ahead,

[Fkrts]

With almost the entire alliance moveing torwards a bridge. No contact yet. With that they end turn.

So that leaves me with. . .34 Shmuckers.
With the alliances permission:
I'll pop a Stwiker and move it N-NW-NW-NW-N.
I'll move stack D (0 move Stwiker not included) NW-N
Also, we scouted into the hex North of D, right?
EDIT: Also of note: They've got a Dwagon somewhere south of our scout's range. Anyone a little further down have a spare scout they could use (or similar)?

[Fkrts]

You have full move.
Yes you did I just missed the eraser mark
You have the only scouts...

My commander is a scout, i can move my stack to the bridge, but that leaves our city undefended, save newly popped.

I propose popping a twigger, adding it to my stack, and moving to the hex below A. I have a scout range of 3, but my command of 5 would make my unit fairly strong, especially if the poo makes tunnels.

The stack would be: 16 defense (+ trenches) 19 combat with a commander 5, and we'd have scouting to the bridge next turn and the entire side of our river, save a hex or two

[The Colonel]

THERE'S A DWAGON NEAR OUR CITY!
