Here are my moves. No charges, of course.

I have no magic, so onto shooting, provided you have no problems with my moves.

My Glade Riders will shoot at your green dire wolves (the ones on the right).

Five S3 shots hitting on 3+.

1d6 >= 3
1: 4 = 4 ... success
2: 4 = 4 ... success
3: 6 = 6 ... success
4: 5 = 5 ... success
5: 6 = 6 ... success
So they all hit... rolling to wound...

A disappointing 2 wounds on your green Dire Wolves. That is the end of my turn. It is to you for saves and/or panic check.

How do you stop the units going fuzzy when you angle them? Or do you just let it go?
Hmm Sorry I think I should have been practicing this before I started playing :)

They get a little fuzzy. But you have your templates saved so that you can replace them with fresh copies when they get squared up again.

No magic. I will shoot with my glade riders at your unit of green dire wolves again. I will hope for more than 1 injury. I have them at short range.

Shouldnt we be doing some kind of randomisation on the unit as there is a character in there?
Ah yes BRB page 74 says we must...Please randomise your shot

Re: WFO: mawpit (VC) vs. TheMiz (WE) - 500 pts.

Posted: 28 May 2009, 05:46
by TheMiz
We should do randomization, but not exactly because there is a character. Usually you don't randomize if the unit has >= 5 rank and file models... in that case the wounds cannot be applied to the character unless the weapon has a special rule (then the "Look Out, Sir!" rule can come into play if there is a template used).

In our situation, the unit has less than 5 rank and file models due to previous wounds. Prior to my shooting, there were only 4 RnF models plus the character. I was confused because there were 5 models total, so technically that means randomization is in order. Randomization should occur after the roll to hit, but before the roll to wound.

So I will roll 1 new dice for randomization. I will roll 1d5 and and assign the d5 to the previous #1 to wound (the only one that wounded), I don't see the point to randomize the to wound rolls that we already know did not wound. I will number your models from left to right with your character receiving #2. So you will have an amour save to make if my roll =2 otherwise one wolf will receive the wound.

OK?
Randomization
1d5
3 = 3
Your turn.

Ok so we have to randomise at 4 or less rank and file, and its the hits that are randomised.
So you get four chances to hit my vampire:) nice to be able to make a d5 :)

Randomise 4 hits and roll to wound.

Well I can redo it. Including all the rolls to wound, or I can just retrospectively apply the randomization to the #3 model as I have rolled above. It seemed slightly unfair to get to re-roll those to wound rolls, which is why I chose to randomize that 1 wound in my above post.

But I am happy to start over and give myself the chance for more wounds.

You choose. Use my roll of 3 above to randomize the previous wound, or use this:
Randomize 4 rolls to hit
1d5
1: 4 = 4
2: 5 = 5
3: 4 = 4
4: 5 = 5
So out of the 4 hits, two are applied to Wolf #4 and two are applied to wolf #5. They will go in the same order (i.e. #1 roll will go to #4 wolf, #2 roll to #5 wolf, #3 roll to #4 wolf, etc.)

And if this happens next time, I only need to randomize if the number of hits is less than the number of models present (as it was in this case)... if I would have had 5 hits then each model would get a hit.
Roll to Wound (#1 to #4, #2 to #5, #3 to #4 and #4 to #5)
1d6 >= 4
1: 2 = 2 ... failure
2: 2 = 2 ... failure
3: 6 = 6 ... success
4: 5 = 5 ... success
Two wounds, one on #4 and one on #5. Better for me, but worse for you... This is friendly, so I will leave it up to you to choose which outcome to follow, I did not expect you to make me roll my to wound rolls again.

Thats fine I have no problems with those results. I take the wounds like a man...undead doggy. The randomisation is to see if the character is hit, so you got four hits on the unit as a whole with the chance of killing them all and leaving Mr Vampire grumbling about Igor providing substandard Dire Wolves, Dire being the operative word.

So two more dead and that leaves Mr Vampire with two wolves.

Yes indeed it is. I am working on it at the moment. I normal play WE so I am not used to being on the receiving end of such tricksy manouvering. I think its night time with you while I put up the next move. Not too far away now...

Hi Ok here we go.
Image
The Wolves cant march as they are too close to the enemy so they nipped round to hide between the trees...
The Ghouls moved up hopefuly out the way of the dryads to the rear and the green wolves nipped round to flank the ghoul unit. Mr V
left his unit and joined the other wolves. I think he can do that if not then hes right next to them on the right.
Units facing is shown by the red line but the green wolves are facing the trouble and have no red line sorry.

I will try to cast Invocation of Nehek on the green wolves.
Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

6 = 6
So cast nicely..dispell?

You know, I was not going to dispel, but after studying the map, I do not think that your vampire has Line of Sight to anything.

Can you confirm that Gaze requires normal line of sight? If it requires normal line of sight, then I don't think you can affect anything. In which case I will try to dispel Invocation. But I don't have a VC book to know if that is right or not. Can you please clarify/confirm?
