Let's put together a collection to see that battle report next turn. I'll chip in the $20 that Will owes me.

This has to go in the favorite battle reports thread.

What Hawk meant to add is that he's throwing $20 of Will's money into the pot as well...

I believe someone owes me $30 (double or nothing on Titans setup) for a sports bet.

Incidentally, we have a newly returning player asking about a Titan game, but I tried to talk him out of it and instead get used to the 4 day turnaround and rule changes, etc.

Two options on the $30, which I completely agree that I owe you because you were smart and picked Germany:
1) We can take Will's $20 and I'll only owe you $10.
2) We hold until my next titan which, sadly, is still a ways away.
3) Send me a paypal!! Smile

Beatific is probably the best to comment on a new player jumping into a titan match early on. I'd advise a game or two of "normal" before hitting a titan match. Playing against 6 enemies amplifies all the little mistakes.

I would be happy to post the battle results if it is okay with the BL....Suffice to say those Skeletons don't char as easily as one might think.

Noble Jhereg,

You can post the battle results. We had equal numbers, but you also had the wizard slayer and the dragon slayer as well. All in all, you kicked my but.

I would be interested in seeing it. I wondered how effective the skeleton archers would be.

BATTLE BETWEEN THE 1ST BLACK DRAGON ARMY GROUP AND THE 2ND DEMON PRINCES ARMY GROUP IN THE FOREST OF AREA OP:
BLACK DRAGON  DEMON PRINCES
MARSHAL I KHOJAH < COMMANDER >  MARSHAL II NARSES
POWER-5 WIZARD HAZNAKA < RANKING WIZARD > POWER-4 WIZARD ORANVER
< INFANTRY > 53300 LIGHT/MEDIUM/HEAVY
< CAVALRY > 3200 LIGHT/MEDIUM 
< ARCHERS > 11500 MISSLIERS/BOWMEN/EXPERT
3087 DRAGONS/WYVERNS < OTHER TYPES >  
13 <KINGDOM-NAMED BRIGADES > 8
25 WYVERNS < OTHER BRIGADE TYPES > 1 MONSTER, 25 SKELETONS
HIGH MORALE  <OTHER> HIGH MORALE / EXCEPTIONAL HEROES
DETERMINED ATTACK <TACTICAL SELECTION> DETERMINED ATTACK

AT THE FIRST LIGHT OF DAWN WITH A BLOOD-CURDLING SCREECH THE 1ST BLACK DRAGON ARMY GROUP LEAPT AHEAD TO ENGAGE THE ADVANCING LINES OF THE 2ND DEMON PRINCES ARMY GROUP UNDER MARSHAL II NARSES. AMONG THE BLACK DRAGON TROOPS WERE BRIGADES OF WYVERNS, WHICH NOW LEAPED AHEAD TO THE FIRST RANKS! AMONG THE DEMON PRINCES TROOPS WERE BRIGADES OF MONSTERS AND SKELETONS, WHICH NOW RACED TO THE FRONT LINES! AS THE ATTACKERS FLEW IN WITH A THUNDEROUS SOUND ABOVE THE DARK FOREST THE BATTLE BEGAN.
AWARE OF THE POLITICAL DECLARATION THAT HAS DECLARED THE DEMON PRINCES TO BE AN ENEMY OF THEIR NATION, THE BLACK DRAGON TROOPS WERE NOTICABLY ENERGIZED AND HAD THEIR MORALE RAISED AS THEY PREPARED TO FIGHT THEIR DECLARED ENEMY!
DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEIR NATION HAS MADE THE BLACK DRAGON KNOWN AS HOSTILE TO THEIR KINGDOM, THE DEMON PRINCES TROOPS WERE INVIGORATED AND BENEFITED FROM HEIGHTENED MORALE AS THEY PREPARED TO ENGAGE THEIR DECLARED ENEMY!

AS THE MOST IMPORTANT GROUP OF THEIR PEOPLE THE FORCES ARE VISIBLY HEARTENED BY THE PRESENCE OF THE FIRST BLACK DRAGON'S BANNER!
ARCHERS FROM EACH SIDE DEALT OUT MINOR DAMAGE TO THEIR OPPONENTS RANKS. THE BLACK DRAGON POWER-5 WIZARD HAZNAKA GLOWERED INTENTLY AND ISSUED INDECIPHERABLE UTTERANCES. WITH CHILLING EASE HE FIRED MANY VOLLEYS OF PHANTASMAL FORCES AND DEADLY PYROTECHNICS INTO THE RANKS OF THE ENEMY. THE BLACK DRAGON POWER-5 WIZARD HAZNAKA MADE A SERIES OF INTRICATE GESTURES. HE THEN CREATED A POWERFUL WARDING, WHICH WOULD PROTECT THE HEROES AND WIZARDS OF HIS FORCE FROM THE BLACK MAGICS OF ANY OPPOSING SPELLCASTERS. THE BLACK DRAGON POWER-5 WIZARD MAXEAGA BEGAN SORCEROUS INCANTATIONS IN AN UNKNOWN TONGUE. IN RAPID SUCCESSION WERE CAST MANY KILLING ILLUSIONS AND WAVES OF DEADLY COLD INTO THE RANKS OF THE ENEMY. THE BLACK DRAGON POWER-5 WIZARD MAXEAGA WHILE SEEMINGLY DETACHED FROM ALL ELSE, SEEMED TO DRAW WITHIN HIMSELF AND BEGAN TO INCANT. LOOKING SKYWARD, THE HEAVENS DARKENED SUDDENLY WITH OMINOUS CLOUDS AND WHIPPING DOWN CAME A TERRIFYING TORNADO, WHICH WRECKED WILDLY INTO THE NOW FRANTIC ENEMY LINES WITH DEVASTATING RESULTS. THE DEMON PRINCES POWER-4 WIZARD ORANVER MADE A SERIES OF INTRICATE GESTURES. IN RAPID SUCCESSION WERE CAST MANY MINOR PHANTASMS AND MAGICAL BOLTS INTO THE RANKS OF THE ENEMY. THE DEMON PRINCES POWER-3 WIZARD CALENRON SLOWLY SPOKE IN AN ARCANE LANGUAGE, GESTURES BUILDING TO A CRESCENDO. WITH AWE-INSPIRING PRECISION HE LAUNCHED MANY PHANTASMAL FORCES AND DEADLY PYROTECHNICS INTO THE HEART OF THE ENEMY FORCE. THE DEMON PRINCES POWER-3.0 WIZARD CALENRON INCANTED IN A LOW FORCEFUL TONE. HE THEN CREATED A POWERFUL WARDING, WHICH WOULD PROTECT THE HEROES AND WIZARDS OF HIS FORCE FROM THE BLACK MAGICS OF ANY OPPOSING SPELLCASTERS. THE DEMON PRINCES POWER-3 WIZARD ZENIVER INCANTED IN A LOW FORCEFUL TONE. HE THEN DIRECTED WITH GREAT EFFECT A SERIES OF PHANTASMAL FORCES AND DEADLY PYROTECHNICS INTO THE RANKS OF THE ENEMY. BOTH FORCE'S WIZARDS ADDED TREMENDOUSLY TO THE DEFENSE OF THEIR GROUP. EACH FORCE'S MAGES INFLICTED MINOR LOSSES. DEMON PRINCES MARSHAL II NARSES DISPLAYED THE AXE OF FARIN FOR ALL TO SEE, HIS TROOPS THUS ENCOURAGED MULTIPLIED THEIR EFFORTS AND THE ENEMY'S LEADERS QUAKED. THE POSSESSION OF THE GREAT RED BATS OF THE LOST CAVES INVIGORATED THE DEMON PRINCES SOLDIERS. DRAGON SLAYER GLOWED BRIGHTLY IN THE HAND OF DEMON PRINCES MARSHAL II NARSES AS IT SENSED IT'S PRIMARY ADVERSARY! ALMOST WITH A SELF-WILL THIS MIGHTY ARTIFACT BEGAN TO YIELD DEVASTATING DAMAGE TO THE RANKS OF THE FOUL FLYING BEASTS WHILE SEEMING TO PROPEL IT'S HOLDER TOWARD THE BLACK DRAGON LEADERS. REALIZING THE PRESENCE OF CONTENDING MAGES IN THE OPPOSING GROUP, WIZARD SLAYER HUMMED IT'S GRIZZLY DEATH DIRGE AS IT COMPELLED DEMON PRINCES MARSHAL II NARSES TO SEEK OUT THOSE SPELLCASTERS AND RAISED THE CONFIDENCE OF OUR FIGHTING
NOW MARSHAL I KHOJAH BECKONED THE BLACK DRAGON MONSTERS, WINGING BY LOW DOWN UPON THE DEMON PRINCES LINES. DRAGONS AND HORSEMEN ALIKE DEALT OUT MINOR LOSSES.
BOTH FORCES SEEMED UNCOMFORTABLE IN THE DARK FOREST, AND EVERY MANUEVER WAS A STRUGGLE. THE DRAGONS WERE NOW FORCED TO LAND, AND THE FIGHTING WAS BLOODIER THAN EVER. THE BLACK DRAGON IN CLOSE FIGHTING DEALT OUT SIGNIFICANT CASUALTIES TO THEIR FOES, WHILE THE DEMON PRINCES MUTANT INFANTRY LURCHED AHEAD WITH MUCH MINDLESS LAUGHTER AND CACKLING, DEALT OUT SUBSTANTIAL CASUALTIES TO THE BLACK DRAGON LINES. THOUGH MUCH BLOOD HAD BEEN SPLIT AND THE FIGHTING HAD RAGED FOR HOURS, STILL VICTORY HUNG BY A THREAD.
FACED WITH THE PROSPECT OF INCURRING GREATER THAN PLANNED LOSSES, MARSHAL I KHOJAH SAW THAT A WITHDRAWAL HAD TO BE QUICKLY MADE. THE BLACK DRAGON LEADERS DID A REMARKABLE JOB IN EXITING THE FIELD WITH MINIMAL ADDITIONAL CASUALTIES. BLACK DRAGON CASULTIES WERE PUT AT 1500 CREATURES. BLACK DRAGON HEROES BATTLED BRAVELY. ALL BLACK DRAGON LEADERS SURVIVED THE BATTLE. THE BLACK DRAGON WIZARD HAZNAKA SURVIVED THE FRAY. THE BLACK DRAGON WIZARD MAXEAGA WAS SLAIN IN COMBAT. THE BLACK DRAGON FORCES MORALE WENT UP TREMENDOUSLY DUE TO THEIR COURAGEOUS AND VALIANT EFFORT IN THE BATTLE. DEMON PRINCES LOSSES WERE SAID TO BE 15300 TROOPS. DEMON PRINCES HEROES FOUGHT COURAGEOUSLY. ALL DEMON PRINCES LEADERS SURVIVED THE BATTLE. THE DEMON PRINCES WIZARDS ORANVER AND CALENRON AND ZENIVER SURVIVED THE FRAY. THE CONVINVING COMPLETENSS OF THE DEMON PRINCES FORCE’S VITORY HAS NOTABLY INCREASED MORALE.

With better leaders and about a 50% bonus from artifacts the battle was rather one sided even. 15 brigades to 8 lost. Nice showing for the skeleton horde
