(RA) - The battle for my capitol was lost, as posted by NO.  My troops fought bravely, all leaders survived, both groups withdrew in good order and several promotions were made.  NO group 5 lost about 34 % but had many promotions and the Zombies ate the dead, gaining 4 new brigades.  I envy those that can summon zombies.  Cheap, they recreate and you don't pay or feed them.  NO has many undead brigades.  Also some nice artifacts:
         WM   5th Nomad             Gem of Planes                      18280
         WM   5th Nomad             Oracle of the Old Gods             14849
         WM   5th Nomad             Rod of Fire                        74066

Here is a question for anyone that can answer it.  I sent in my largest group on an attack group order, 100, tac 2 standard attack.  My smaller group had a delayed attack, 101, tactic 1, probe.  The delayed attack processed first.  Does this sound right?

No is still in WM, likely to move, with about 20 brigades and the same leaders that I posted last turn.

(NO) Probably because I attacked you in the opposite order- and a die roll. 

Is 63% casualties to an 11 brigade Army Group "in good order" ? My army is now over 50% elite brigades.
