'A tap tap tapping, a gentle rapping, doth rap upon my chamber door,' thought Alexander, rather more wrily in his own mind than on paper. He replaced "Daemonologie ande the Underthinges" back onto the shelf, stood up and wandered over to the door. He peeped through the peephole and nearly fell backwards, so shocked was he by the tragic figure awaiting his presence. It was the Tilean, the same man he'd had his acolytes searching for for weeks. He pulled the door open with great aplomb and took a better look at Alonzo. He was soaked, and the Witch Hunter noted for the first time how heavily it was raining outside. The dark streets were deserted but for this dreary figure, dripping all over Alexander's doorstep. "Ah...Alonzo...is it? How very convenient, I was just thinking about you. Do come in, dry yourself off. What brings you to my humble abode?" he asked, waving at his lavish entranceway with a dismissive hand. He led the man in and sat him down, noting how heavily the man was shaking. He couldn't be that cold, could he? "What's wrong friend?" He drew them both a large brandy and sat back, awaiting the man's response.
It took a while for the merchant to start up, words coming out in fits and bursts. "Dark. Eyes. Teeth." Pause. "Chasing. Fire. Plague." Pause. "Help. Followed. Help. Followed. The man was frantic now, his eyes darting around the room, lingering on the doors, windows and particularly the extravagant fireplace. He pushed himself to his feet and began to scramble about, pulling on the window bars, sliding bolts in all the doors. The fire was lit, and the man threw several large logs onto it, before retuning to his seat, still twitching and shaking. He sprang up again, and then began to pull books off the shelf, putting them into two piles, one significantly larger than the other. He pushed the smaller pile towards the witch hunter, and then, with as little ceremony as possible, died. He simply fell backwards out of his chair and lay still. Alexander went to check whether the man was dead, but the stream of green foam coming steadily from the corner of Alonzo's mouth gave the man all the answers he needed.
He had returned to his seat and began to ponder the night's events when he heard a tiny sound from high above. A furtive scuttling from the rooftops, starting from directly above the Late Alonzo's seat and quickly moving off into the distance. He picked up the pile of books and read the covers. He paused, putting the books in a neat pile, stepped across the room, and threw them into the fire. Several blocks away, in an unobtrusive neighborhood house, the laughter started.
I guess my point is this: Leadbelchers can be useful, but if you're relying on your opponent to be more frightened of them than they should be, you're going to eventually be disappointed.
) and then countercharged with a second? Mostly ogre units use the bait-and-switch instead: the enemy charge one unit, which flees, and a second then charges the flank. But some canny generals do not charge the obviously decoy naked bull unit and in those circumstances we need a hammer to take the fight to them. After all, one of the primary strengths of the ogre army is speed, and you should utilise that to the best of your ability. Hammer units can also be used to crack open tougher units like ironbreakers without needing to resort to a flank charge but also without falling victim to being "eggs in one basket". So what is a hammer unit? Very nice. I'd just like to add that against a ranked unit, it might be more advisable to hold, have something like a fistful of laurels nearby to prevent your unit from running and then flank with the giant. you start by saying the gorger comes onto the table from a random board edge, and this isn't quite right.
My bad. I knew that of course, just used the wrong word. I'll edit in a correction now.
