Vamps declare charges with Knights and TG2 on Flagellents. Knights FAIL to charge, TG2 makes it. Vamps line is in disarray!

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Here is the completed move.
To add insult to injury, the Necro Lord fails his Str test and can't move, flaming away 3 Zombies.

Magic phase, rolled 6+2. Vamps channel 1 dice.

So 9 PD to 6DD.

BBIAB, off to Starbucks....

Seemed low. Just wanted to make sure.

How are we going to play Net with regard to spellcasting?

Option 1: If you fail the test that wizard can't cast for the rest of the phase.
Option 2: If you fail the test you lose power dice, may try to cast other spells.
Option 3: If you fail the test you can't cast that spell, may try to cast other spells.
Option 4: If you fail the test you only suffer wounds, may try to cast the same spell again.

I think Option 1 or 3 are the most fair for both sides.

Good question. Nothing in FAQ. I suspect it's 1 or 3. Three seems most likely, other choices seem to be making assumptions about additional effects of the Net (like lost PD or DD for example).

In this case the Necro/Zombies failed a Str test and were unable to move. I suspect he could keep nominating differant spells, testing each time.

Discuss?

librisrouge · « **Reply #59 on:** February 24, 2013, 04:53:46 AM »

#3 seems the most likely since you test per action (not necessarily per phase) so you could test for "casting such and such spell" and fail that, so you'd then test for "casting different such and such spell" until you run out of spells to try or dice to try with.

If you're keeping track, that's 4 blown Str tests, No movement, 17 Zombies and 3 Spells prevented. Not bad for the Net....

***UPDATE*** End of Vampire Counts Turn 2.
Magic Phase Recap:

9 PD to 6DD
3 PD on Cursed Book, Soulblight, Dispelled with 3 DD.
2 PD on Miasma, Failed.
3 Str Attemps failed with Netted Necro resulting in 3 failed spells and 17 Burned Zombies.
4 PD Nehak from Vamp Hero raises 9 Zombies back (Empire failed 3 Dice Dispel).

Shooting Phase:
Wounded TG takes off 2 Flagellants
Charging TG takes off 6 Flagellants

Combat Phase:
Flagellants roll 2 hits on martyr roll, 2 die (too bad these guys aren't rolling for the Master Necro), so re-roll hits and wounds.
Gheist hits two, kills 2.
Flagellants hit 7 of 18, re-roll and hit 7 more, so 14 Hits.
Flagellants roll 6 wounds, re-roll the other 8 and get 4 more, so a total of 10 wounds (5+ to wound, remember), Gheist regens a wound and disappears in a puff of mist.
Infested Explosion, 12 hits, 4 more dead Flagellants.

So the Master Necro Zombies are at 22. Everything else is full. Remaining TG has a single wound left.

Dear Net and Lore of Light in general,
I know that I've said bad things about you in the past. I can't justify my actions. They were the short sighted actions of a man to young to know better. That being said, I'm sorry. You are a good lore. You are a pretty lore and, no, that dress does not make you look fat. If you'll take me back I'll be better, I promise. We can be good together you and I.

I made a mistake. A big mistake. The end of last magic phase the vampire hero successfully cast a spell buffing the zombie unit resurrecting nine zombies. In addition that buff also was in range of the corpse cart. As a result All units within 6 inches corpse cart has the ability of always strike first.

So sorry. If you want to redo your charge phase I totally understand.

The vampire lord straightens on his fell steed and roars to the spearmen in bad Reikspeak.

" Did you see how your glorious leader died, my friends? ah how Sigmar abandoned him this day. He was not worthy to be called an opponent, let alone worthy to carry your faith."

"Hear me, see me, fear me, your general is dead, his blood invigorates me even as i speak. His standard lays in tatters on the gore soaked ground, and for what? the blood of your comrades surrounds you and the only thing that remains for you this day is death!"

"Hah, but alas, its not death that awaits you. You shall not rest in peace in the company of your loved ones watched over by your foolish god. No you shall join our ranks and become part of that which you seek to destroy, a fitting use for such futile and pathetic creatures."

The vampire points at a spearmen as if to suggest that he is coming for them personally.
