It doesnt really matter if the orders of the other armies are to attack. Opponents creatures won't reach his front in one turn and the armies will move forward essentially protecting the aboleth for normal non-magic battles.
Oh and some creative criticism: I really like the way Marverni forms his posts. I prefer having all the pictures in one post rather then having to click on some link to see what happened
it makes it easier to read.(otherwise it has been nice AAR and really good for new players(Helheim's descriptions of the basics)). So keep up the good work.
P.s As I support Fomoria GoGo Giants GoGo! :P I'd love to see some more posts from Corinthian
