Back to the Badlands

I dont mind some proxy as long as its clear what they are. My bonus 250 points is going against rob as im still having some issues dealing with the encased in too much armour meatbags.

I will make sure its crystal before we play so we can agree beforehand and saves any horrible game moments.

Also, Ginge do I get to use the Hatred USR against Lizards that I gained from losing my last game?

I believe that only applies to your level 4s army, so would depend on which army you're fighting with (big flag one)

Unless Rich H got a Spoils of War roll that made you hate him too...

Hello I'll be using 500pts extra against Rich F if he does not use him extra pts if he does Ill use all 600pts.

Neil you've got a 300 point bonus and a 300 point bonus... it can't be split. So you can either use 300 or 600 against Rich... well, or none.

IF you choose to use all 600 and Rich chooses not to use any, then you will be restricted to 2500, but the other 100 points will be lost and gone regardless.

Cheers again Ginge   

I'll use all my extra points vs Neil

Reading back I need to set out what armies have what new items and extra points so here goes
Chaos lord on foot =200 points
Dp =150 points
Chaos lord on jug=250
The brown cloaked won in The Lord on foot army has a 60 point banner and becomes renown
Squad of 5 jug in the jug army has the hoarfrost banner

Map rolls not done this week due to lack of attendees. I had instructions from my ally Rich F, but no instructions for Rob, and in the case of Scott and Jason I had neither instructions nor their ally available to ask. So all rolls will be done as soon as possible next week instead. If you can't make it down, please let me know your instructions either by text, email or private message before next Tuesday.

So, summer campaign game played and armies lined up, a quick recap on some things...

Spoils of War
Ginge Ulric SOW3 +150pts
Neil Tyrant SOW5 8 Maneaters gain Always Strikes First. Random Event roll gave this unit Armour Piercing too. Furthermore this unit still counts as having the magic banner RoR status, as it didn't lose the standard in battle, it was shot. From what I can read in the pack it seems you have to lose the standard in battle (basically by running and leaving it) to actually lose the standard.
Rich H (vs Jason) SOW1 all Jasons units hate Lizards
Rich F SOW6 +1 Relic 30 pt item
Stephen Loremaster SOW 4 (25 Lothern Sea Guard get a 20pt banner, RoR)
Rich H SOW4 The RoR unit of Stubborn Saurus Warriors now get a 40pt banner

Ignominious Defeats
Stephen Dragonlord ID2 Bolt Thrower has stupidity next battle
Rich F Books ID3 20 Crossbowmen must be paid for nextbattle, only 10 are used.
Jason Dreadlord ID1 Lizards cause fear next battle
Jason (vs Rich F) ID6 Hatred Dwarves
Scott Dragon ID4 One of the units has stupidity next time this army fights
Rob 3 skulls ID1 All lizards cause fear

Ongoing character effects (apart from permanent changes that should be noted on the relevant character sheet)

Rich F character is in a coma and misses next game
Jasons level 4 was Captured by Rich H.
Scotts Pegasus guy was captured by Rich F

Character Injuries
Stephen Dragonlord (captured by Ginge)
Ginge Ulric -1T permanently
Jason Dreadlord psychological injury permanently fears Lizards
Jason (vs Rich F, think it's Dreadlord also) Heroic Escape +1WS permanently
Scott Dragonrider Heroic Escape +1T permanently
Rob 3skulls Heroic Escape +1W permanently

So, lots of Heroic Escapes... maybe humans are just better gaolers, cos we've still got our bounty, and we only let the last one go when a substantial ransom was offered...

Random Events
Rich F 41 Next game you can look at your enemies list - one of the best ones for you given your absence, there is no time limit on this, so REMEMBER it.
All other random events had an immediate effect, such as moving the fortress again, nicking flags from each other, or artful diplomacy.

Ginge - 14
Rich H - 14
Jason - 11
Stephen - 11
Neil - 8
Rob - 7

And just out of interest, I took a glance at how the map is shaping up...

Neil - 14 territories - 5 mines - 2 sites of interest - 1 relic valued site
Rich F - 14 territories - 2 mines - 1 site of interest - 2 relic value sites (one of which is an additional mine)
Scott - 14 territories - 4 mines - 1 site of interest
Ginge - 10 territories - 2 mines
Rob - 8 territories - 1 mine - 1 site of interest
Jason - 6 territories - 1 mine
Rich H - 6 territories - 1 site of interest
Stephen - 5 territories - 1 mine - 1 site of interest - 1 relic valued site

And as the map stands, Neil is probably going to be on 7 mines by this time next round. I know who I'm targeting for the rest of Autumn. Fire up the Steam Tank boys, we got fat bastards to hunt...

Im willing to take reasonable offers on your level 4 jason unless you can engineer a fight to get her back, as that army is the other side of the map now that may be hard.

Reasonable offers...how reasonable? lol

Reasaonable offers are usually along the lines of "here, look at my army specific magic items I'm not using, that provide a nice little boost for me... but would be utterly broken on a lizard unit"

Hence why I got Neils Dragonhide Banner (and given the timing I'm pretty sure it's made out of Scotts Dragon, which makes it all the sweeter that the first time I used it I captured Stephens Dragon) Reroll 1s on Ogres is nice, with their 5+ armour save, hitting on 4s. But on my knights, with their 2+ armour saves, and usually hitting on 2s (thank you Celestial Hurricanum) and the great weapons meaning I wound most things on 2s, rerolling 1s effectively means I'm rerolling everything! It's far better for me than it ever was for him.

Of the top of my head though I can't think of anything in the Dark Elf Armoury that you wouldn't want to use yourself, once you have three armies worth of characters to equip...

True but he does have access to the common items and I just happened to have lost my book of ashur but would equally accept some nice armour or ward save for my carno lord.

I see I have a mine but didn't get a role? also my site of interest is that the one you can kill characters? Happy to kill jasons one if you like rich?

That's a very good point Rob... ok, one of two things has happened here. Either I did the count before mine rolls, in which case a "mine collapsed" roll would mean you now have no mines, I just forgot to update my count. Alternatively, I do recall we did a build of a mine with your army a little out of sequence. It's possible we did the build after we did the mine rolls and it was thus forgotten.

Easy fix - I'll look at the map Tuesday. If you have a mine physically on the map, then it was the latter scenario and I shall do a mine roll for you and update the forum accordingly. If there is no mine on the map, then it was clearly the former scenario, in which case there is no mine roll, as it has already been (unsuccessfully) done. In which case I'll merely let you know.

I would pref a fight of trade back for her. Also I believe ginge keeps collapsing mines and im pretty sure yours was one this week that went under.

Oh and Rob yes I'm pretty sure your site of interest was the sacrificial pit thingy, though that only gets used at the end of the season, so you'll have to hold onto it for a while.

And actually I think you'll find I've been rolling very well for mines, just ask Rich F. I also tend to get peoples allies to roll mines on their behalf, in an effort to sow discontent among my enemies...

Right, I did consider doing a recap of ongoing effects, but it was a massive post just from the last periods stuff, so counting back for everyone is going to make a post about 2 pages long... no way I'm doing that every week. I recommend checking back on any armies that are of interest to you... or better yet, do what I do. I have a card for each character or Regiment of Reknown, but I also have a card for each army... on which I can record which heroes/regiments are in it, what SOW or ID rolls are still ongoing, what extra points I've rolled from mines etc. I suggest you each prepare the same.

Still in custody
Jasons level 4 was Captured by Rich H.
Scotts Pegasus guy was captured by Rich F
Stephen Dragonlord captured by Ginge

SOW
Ginge (Roughguts) SOW3 +50pts next battle

Scott (level 4) ID2 (5 dark riders must be bought but not used next battle)

Character Injuries
Stephen (Loremaster) -1T next battle

Scott (level 3) -1S next battle

Storm of Magic games played, +2 relics for Ginge, Stephen, Scott and Rich H

Random Events
Rich H - 51 - if he wins the game this turn he automatically captures his opponents tile
Rob - 51 - see above. Right now he's lined up a defensive game, he can go shopping for an offensive game the following week if he gets chance
Jason - 42 - your next opponent must roll a D6 for each unit before deployment, on a 1 they start in reserve.
Scott - 44 - In your next game you may pick whether to deploy and go first or second - this is only where it is normally randomised, a scenario that dictates who goes first based on who deploys first (such as the watchtower) would still play as normal, otherwise this would be broken.
Ginge - 45 - In next game I may pick which scenario to play and whether to deploy first or second... However my next game is a Siege Storm of Magic, so the scenario is decided and who deploys first is also decided... I'm wondering if this means this result is useless to me or do I get a pass on this till the next game I would get a choice in? Has this come up before? If so, how did we play it then?
Neil - 46 - in his next game his army is 25% larger than his opponents.

Just re-reading my campaign pack, and have realised that one particular player is missing out BIG time on something he is entitled to...

Scott, we shall rectify the situation for the final week of autumn. But I wonder if anyone else figures out what you've forgotten...

What week is good for you jason

AS ive not heard from jason going to say our game is next week and ill try and get hold of him again

ok rob no problem. I'll send you his number so you can text him. Sorry I couldn't do so soon enough for this week, just been a busy weekend I've not been online much...
