So, 4 Thunder Cats croaked (barely) and my entire Infantry stack just returns to dust.

Total casualties for both sides:
Alliance losses:
3 Bezekiwas croaked.
1 Bezekiwa @ 1 Hits, will heal right now.
4 Thunder Cats croaked.

Gobwin Knob losses:
4 Sourmanders croaked.
1 Archer croaked.
1 Archer @ 2 Hits, will not heal.
7 Infantry.
1 Infantry Warlord.

Scout/Pop phase starts now. 200 pop points.

Edit: And, I missed zil's question earlier. You may redesign your units, and replace them, but you'll still have 5 each. Which comes out as 20 units, so now that you know mine, you have twice the versatility total. And I'm keeping the units that I have now, they're set in stone.

Game, set, match Alliance. The following magic items are to be divided up among the four players, you can give them to a Commander at the start of the next game. It's been fun playing, expect to see another thread show up tomorrow, once I get my rules in order!

In the following items, the word "Commander" means "the Commander who is using this item."
Doombat's Utility Belt: For purposes of mounting (both while mounting and while being mounted), Commander is considered to have twice regular Hits.
Hat of Weightlessness: For purposes of mounting, Commander is considered to have one-half regular Hits.
Looking Glass: Commander can scout any hex during the Scout Phase, for 1 Move. This can be done until Commander runs out of Move.
Mirror, Sword, and Shield: Reduce's Commander's Move by 1. Adds 1 Hit to Commander, both for Mounting and Combat. Adds 2 Attack to Commander. Allows Commander to scout any hex in the scout phase, for 2 Move. This can be done until Commander runs out of Move.

So now, fight over these, once you work out who gets what, tell me in bold when you pop units which of your Commanders has what item. Enjoy your victory, prepare for the next. Hopefully, the addition of Special Retaliation should help fix the Ranged Problem, though it might not, and the Fortresses (I hope) will ensure that the Alliance has some scouting capabilities at all times.

Thanks again for making this a great game!

Looking Glass: Commander can scout any hex during the Scout Phase, for 1 Move. This can be done until Commander runs out of Move.

Nihila, if a commander with, for example, 4 move looks at 2 hexes in Scout Phase, does he start the Move/Combat phase with 2 moves?

Doombat's Utility Belt: For purposes of mounting (both while mounting and while being mounted), Commander is considered to have twice regular Hits.

Also, this item seems good for Vis, since he is...well, the most "mountish" commander. And because 2 x hits will probably prevent the wearer from mounting something. But of course, there is no guarantee that Vis will participate in the next battle, so Nihila, i think we should fight over the artifacts once we make our new forces and determine our warlords, units, strategies and such.

Precisely. And, you can decide who gets what whenever you like. I don't really care, but tomorrow (probably in 15-18 hours), I'll start a new thread for a new campaign.

Edit: Or, one hour after this was originally posted. Funny how things work sometimes, isn't it?
