There are days I hate this game. Why he didn't cast his scripted antimagic, I'll never know.

Anyway, guys - check the hall of fame. Its that bad.
You might want a small pause to decide whether to continue the game. I vote in favor of just declaring arco the winner.

I'm actually not sure what I'm supposed to be seeing on the hall of fame... it's still mostly your guys, plus my prophet the Fir Bolg Commander who somehow got the credit for 132 kills (I'm guessing a bug) and a few of Arcoscephale's guys. Still, I have no chance of winning the game, so I won't stop you folks who do have one if you want to conclude.

Those arco guys used to be my guys last turn.

Putting aside game talk for a minute, I really don't understand how that turn is mechanically possible.

From page 71:
Phase 6: is magic battles.
phase 12: is Friendly movement
phase 13: is other movement

I can understand you teleporting in - thats why *I* cloud trapezed in, with guys specifically to cast antimagic.

What happened is this:

1. Winged Dog (moves/teleports in) no antimagic goes off. Winged defeats me.
2. My guys trapeze in, and move in (two separate actions).
Winged defeats me again. (one battle)

I don't mind losing - in fact I'd say great game. (though I'm sorely disappointed) .. but I'd like to know why it didn't go:

EITHER

My unit cloud trapezes / Wing teleports - Battle
my units move in - battle.

OR

My unit cloud trapezes
My unit moves in
Winged Dog moves in - Battle.
