CAFS 2016: RealPiHalbe (Mono Black) vs. Bomber678 ([Feral]/Strength/Truth)

I have no problem with your change, I just like to get confirmation from the judge.

42

Thinking about it, I could also have been drawing Sacrifice the Weak. That makes not redrawing a non-option, I guess.

These non-reversible actions are always a bit dicey for me in PBFs when nobody is correcting me on-the-fly.

43

No sweat my dude. Pbp can be a bit tough. I make my fair share of mistakes even with checking over my turns twice before I post.

44

As you noted, always re-do the end of turn draws if anything changes.

Since you had illegal actions (i.e. leaving alive an orpal who died to the cub) that triggers a re-do of the turn, so you can change whatever you need to.

Next try:

I level Orpal to kill Tiger Cub, skip Tech III and heal Orpal back up by maxing him.

And Unattackable.
But only while I control another illusion that is not another Liberty Gryphon!

Not for RealPiHalbo

I actually see what Bomber was playing against with that. Abomination + Boosted Executioner would mean that deteriorate could pop the gryphon.

I hope I got everything right. I’m a bit suspicious since I managed to get rid of that Gryphon

Thoughts

I would have loved to play Abomination, but it was just to much damn work to facilitate Twilight Baron’s death. Garth and Orpal had to level and destroy Garus first, only then could Baron attack Spectral Hound and finally die to Deteriorate. What the hell?

54

It’s uh… it’s his name. Unless I’m mispelling it?

Oh. I am.
No, I’m just bad at spelling!

55

I just noticed that I am not sure if a flying patroller will hit a ground attacker when it sneaks by down below.

EDIT: Forgot to update Vandy’s level (max) and Garth health (1HP). Undo Vandy’s maxband.

57

Remember Free Speech is in effect, so Vandy cannot buff anything.

58

Oh, right. I remembered for all other skills (even Garth’s maxband, which I did not use). Not sure how that slipped. So, Hoody is saved and your base regains 2 HP.

EDIT: Also, those Crows are useless as patrollers, because they only defend against a flying attacker (as per some BGG thread) which would pretty much have to be you un-X-able Gryphon. :smirk_cat:

59

Well it’s not like I can attack this turn anyway (except with Macciatus??) so it’s probably fine.
