Default Re: Attack Order

I believe I have done something similar with simply retreating the Rain of Stones caster. This works fairly well in general: RoS happens in magic phase, then caster retreats to adjacent province, then in normal combat phase the army attacks.

It would be theoretically possible to mess this up, in a way that would surely give style points. Suppose entire defending army is set up at the back edge of the battlefield scripted to retreat. They do, and leave the field before the RoS caster's script is finished. RoS caster is now in the province. Then, in the movement phase, the attacking army moves in. The defending side sends in one high-hp/high-prot guy. Now the RoS caster decimates his own army!

Anyway, my main point is that Ritual of Returning is not necessary, though it could be useful, and sometimes safer.

Well, the ONE thing I DO fear on retreating the Tart is....

If you have only one way to retreat and it is only protected by PD, someone could anticpate your move and use Ghost riders behind you...Dead Tart.
