Great battle report! The pictures and diagrams make it very easy to follow.

I do have a question about how you used Comet of Casandora. From your description, it sounds like the Comet arrived in the same phase you cast it. Unless I'm reading the spell wrong (which is very possible), this can't happen. You cast the spell, then start rolling for arrival at the beginning of the next magic phase. This guarantees that the enemy will get at least 1 chance to move out of the comet's path and makes it a bit less lethal to mobile armies.

Do I misunderstand the spell, or do the Ogres have a good argument for a rematch?

 

[Mordechai]

Sorry about the mistakes, I was so happy writting the battle report, that I forgot the comet detail... I only roll the dice on the beggining of the next magic fase (Ogres in this case), as written in the spell...

But every time (using tettoeko) the comet explodes... But since the Ogres movement is 6, they march 12, was not so difficult to prevent his next move, giving him no chance to run, always put the marker in about 4 inches in front of his big horde....

and yes, he has bad luck and also deployed his army in a way that was easy for me to prevent his charges!

cheers,
Marcos

Nope. You roll at the very beginning of EACH persons magic phase.. so 2 in a single round, potentially 1 the very round it was cast (depending if the original caster was the start of the round and not the end of it). In other words, it cannot potentially "go off" during the same magic phase as it was casted.. but could potentially "go off" on your opponents next magic phase which could be in the same round.

 

[Mordechai]

That is what happened.
Ogres Starts, so in my turn 1 I´ve cast, on his turn 2 the comet explodes... Then in my turn 2 I´ve cast, in the Ogres turn 3 the comet explodes and goes like this all the times, since Tettoeko can reroll the dice to see what happened...

Just a joke, If you roll the screen fast, just seen the photos, It´s look likes a Zombie movie... falling down each photo!

 

[eragon]

this is the second of your battle reports ive read and they're great - you sound like a challenging opponent

keep the winning streak up (just a suggestion - why dont you experiment with some barbed razordons along with the sallies)

thyanks again
