In case anyone is interested.

Here is the link to the Dicelog I'm using. 

https://dicelog.com/joinlogdice

You need to sign up to access it obviously.  I'm using Dicelog 1272 if anyone is interested.  If you can't access it you may have to PM me and I'll add you to the permissions.

***WARNING***
If you get added to the Permissions, you can roll dice.  I don't care if you do but PLEASE note it in the Dialouge box before you do so new people "checking" the rolls know what's going on and don't see a bunch of randomly generated rolls that could be confusing.

FYI:  I've "rolled" 27 bunches of dice so far. 

So when you see the Number before the copied dice roll, that's the roll I'm on.  So in this sequence, Empire rolled 5 Dice + 2 (for Lvl) >= 15 for a successful Boosted Shem's (roll #15).
Vamps then dispeled rolling 5d6 +1 (for lvl 1 Lord) >= 15 (roll #16)
Successful Shem's on Spirit Host (roll #17)
Number of Hits on Spirit Host (roll #18)

5d6 Boosted Shem's on TG from Spear Wizard

5d6 +2 >= 15
2 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 15 ... success

[Noght]

Spirit Host declared a charge on the Archers, who fled successfully.  No other charges.

I'll post the remaining moves for the Vamps later today and get to magic.  I'll pick up the pace here in a bit....

[Noght]

Here is the Vamp Move.

Magic, 2 dice, VC channel with 3 dice, empire channel with 4 dice.

So Vamps have 8 PD, to 5 DD.

End of Vampire Counts, Turn 1:

Magic Phase Recap:
8 PD to 5 DD.

• Cursed Book, 1 Dice, Curse of Midnight Wind on Spearmen
• Curse of Years (3 Dice) Dispelled by Empire (5 Dice)
• Miasma on Flagellants 2, -2 Movement
• Vanhel's Danse on the Corpse Cart, move 8" closer.

Vampire Shooting Phase:

• Terrorgheist shreik at the nearest Archer detachment.  Each Detachment takes 4 Wounds
• Center Archers pass Panic on Re-roll 9.
• West Archers fail Panic, flee through Spearmen, who pass their Panic

Note:
Blue Bullseyes are Hexes (Flags 2 and Spearmen)
Red Bullseyes are Buffs (Units within 6" of Corpse Cart - Always Strike First)

Quick rules question:

Vamp Lord has "Aura of Dark Majesty".  So -1 LD penalty (cumulative in AB).  Only the Western Detachment is within 6" of the Vamp Lord.
The AL has LD 9, so the calculation was 2D6 + 6 (wounds from TG) - 9 (Leadership from AL).  Do I add the -1?  I suspect I do.

If so the Western Arch Detachment is wiped out.  Everything passes the Panic.

Hm, different than what I thought:

Q. If an enemy unit is affected by the Doom and Darkness spell,
and the unit is within the general’s Inspiring Presence radius, does
the Leadership value conferred by Inspiring Presence suffer the
modifier even if the General is not affected? (Reference)
A: Yes.

From the BRB FAQ.

That's what I think to.  So removing the Western Archers.  No other changes.

[Noght]

Away from Chronicler....

Heading out this evening for a Valentines Getaway and visit my Son at College.  I will be available to roll dice (march tests, etc) and answer questions but won't be able to update stuff until at least Sunday afternoon, most likely Monday morning....

So, I'll email anyone who has Battle Chronicler the file if they want to mess around.

THEN:
I will be gone from Monday evening until Friday evening, back all day Saturday and Sunday, gone again Mon-Tues (2/25 and 2/26), back again on Wednesday, whew....

Sorry, RL getting in the way of Games....

[zakalwe]

What is this REAL LIFE you speak of? it it some kind of sadistic computer game?

Have a good weekend.


The empire won't hold their ground for long. Not after we start resurrecting those fallen archers to fight against them.
Join us brave captains of the empire, your troops are worthless, your resistance futile. Come taste the succour of everlasting life and fight as victors at my side.

[Holy Hand Grenade]

My hat is off to the Vamp team for that last turn.

Well played.

But it ain't over until the fat lady sings....and I tied her up in the back of War Altar because we aren't going down without a fight.

[zakalwe]

Ah, there is a Buxom wench in the war altar luggage, i knew you priests were as pious as us at heart.

Indeed their is much carnage for us to  create, the beauty is, we will have you eventually. All men are weak and the flesh will succumb to time if my blade doesn't find you first.
I am merely a facilitator, aiding your journey to the destiny that awaits you all.

This fat lady shall make a fine Banshee, then she can sing forever. That is unless the ghouls find her first, they do like the fat ones.

[Noght]

FYI:  heading home, if the Empire Team finalizes a plan I'll get it executed late today or early tomorrow.

Then we can blow through the magic and combat and the Vampire Team can get set up while I'm gone next week.

Hmm... Perhaps I should check the FAQ more often. That would have helped me yesterday.

[Noght]

Ok, back.  Went to the Luke Bryant concert (rock n roll ain't dead, it's moved to Nashville apparently) with the Wifey.

I'll move stuff tomorrow...

[Noght]

Ok, executed the Empire Moves.  BC updated in a sec.

Spearmen failed the Reform test x2 and backed up 2" instead.  Everything else as planned.

Did we shake the undead into inaction?  Is that fear I smell?

Glory for the Empire!

[Noght]

Nah, the Admin for this battle is sitting in a Hotel room in Louisville until Friday night.

The Vamps are finalizing their strategy, turn will be done Saturday morning I expect including magic.  (I'm guessing you guys will dispel Curse of Years or Winds of Undeath, really going out on a limb aren't I?)

[grifter]

What fear can those know who are already dead? It must be your own besmirched undergarments you smell, fleshling. No worry, we shall soon free you from the cursed prison that is your weak flesh...
