Thing is, while Wanda and Ansom picking off the smaller sides they'll be pursued by Charlie and Jillan, while the royal coalition continues to consolidate and take back their old cities.

Besides, the whole reason they're at Spacerock right now is because Ansom wanted a "decapitation strike" to bring down Jetstone as quickly as possible.

And now, with the updated battle plan it appears that applies now more than ever.

Well, Jillian on a Gwiffon was able to solo one dwagon (before being swarmed and captured by the rest). That tells us that either regular gwiffs are decent fighters or that dwagons themselves, while fearsome, aren't quite the holy grail they've been made out to be.

Considering what we've seen Dwagons do, and considering Stanley himself, I wouldn't be surprised if Dwagons were meant to be 'specialist' units, to be used in specific situations like siege or casters, instead of the front-line heavy powerhouses that you'd expect a dragon to be. For instance, they may be good for hit and run attacks or just a proper blitz, but less effective when fighting toe-to-toe against more conventional units that can fight back (such as Jillian's gwiffons, which are clearly more all-purpose units or she, an experienced and intelligent warlord, wouldn't use them so much).

Or that Jillian is a high level character as opposed to an ordinary unit.

The Gwiffon killed the dwagon. Jillian just provided a combat bonus.

Since Jillian was in the same hex/stack as it, it got her full bonus of 9. Which makes it a hardcore Gwiffon as compared to an unled Dragon, which is merely a very good unit.

The problem is, Stanley has most likely vetoed any attempt to decrypt the dragons, so they don't get the huge stats the Archons do.

Also, Charlie can't reveal that he has units in the airspace. If they did, the sides would start bickering since Charlie is the enemy according to Slately.

Ha ha. Poor Ossomer. Still doesn't get it.

If Charlie reveals his units, he has one turn to act. That turn is for croaking Wanda. My feeling is that Parson's big moment in this engagement will be whether or not he stops that from happening.

Oh shit son, turnamancers are hardcore.

Good grief, what CAN'T they do?

Ah...

It's an interesting twist, and suitably awesome, but the Dei-ex-machinae are beginning to pile up. I do hope that's the last one for a while yet.
