That sounds more than fair. I for one wouldn't expect the game to go on hold for as much as a week - a couple of days tops, I figured - at least at this early stage in the game. Maybe later when the field has been winnowed down substantially. Of course, I doubt I'll still be around at that stage

I'd be telling the person to try and find a sub, but if they can't, it'd be just as game ruining to make a player stale three times in a row when you know they'll be back ...

My apologies to everyone for having held up turn 5 - I played the turn, but only realized today that I never sent in my .2h file.

There's a rookie mistake for you.

always good to check llamaserver now and then

Maybe enough glaive armed footmen (the cheapest sort, of course) can quickly deal enough damage before being frozen?

Or maybe enough of the "cheap" light cavalry can kill some giants with the lance charge bonus?

Or maybe the dual knife wielding wolf tribesmen (only 7gp with CBM!)?

[DakaSha]

glaive is the way to go in my experience

edit: your smaller units swarm large units and are harder to hit

I don't think that's how it works, but I do believe multiple attacks reduce the defense (or is it protection? don't have the manual on me at the moment) of the defending unit, so swarms are useful against big targets like giants.

And while swarm wont help the defense of the 'swarmers', each giant can still only kill only one human a round (at least not without a W9 blessing or magical help), well, until they start taking fatigue damage from cold auras

Yup, its the cold aura which is the real killer, made worse by the onset of winter. E/N bless is for longevity and its quite difficult for any swarm of mundane troops to consistently crank out so much damage so early.

Of course, where the bless strat falls apart for niefel is the fact that the giants are cap only; for future reference his capital is at (214) by the way, just to the south of the centre of the map

Jeez! That't pretty rude. Just posting someone's cap out on the main board. That sort of info is usually shared privately.

Don't mind me, the sub. Just checking out the old posts for this game.
