Quote:
Thankfully, I got the first turn.
Deployment from left to right:
Knights (Priest), Block of Swordsmen w/ Xbows (in forest), Cannon (In between sections of forest), Cannon (to the right of forest), Knights (captain), Swordsmen w/ guuns, Arch Lector, Cannon, Swordsmen w/ guns, Greatswords, Hellblaster
Magic in this game is going to be a dud - I'm not going to get anything off, and if the Anvil works like I think it does (haven't played Anvil), He won't be getting away with much either. Since I get the first turn, I'll advance as rapidly as possible while the firing line tries to take out the closest shooting unit to them. Cannons will go for their artillery, hoping to end the battle before it begins.
The fact that I got first turn is what think gives me a chance at winning. If I get my Knights and Arch Lector into CC turn 2, with the greatswords in Turn 3, they'll have relatively few casualties. Which means that they'll be able to strike the Dwarves with full force. And as tough as they are, I don't think they'll be able to handle it. This is going to be a mad dash for me, while the dwarves hope to postpone my arrival on their battle lines long enough to whittle down my CC troops to a manageable size.
