Ah, I see.  First, your Sod Boxers were looking where nobody was. All of my troops are inside the heavily forested area, while your Sod Boxers were looking around the heavily forested area (if you'd like to change that, I have some moves I'll change too). As far as I'm aware, the only troops you may have sent into the thicker patch of woods were a few skirmishers. Second, I think full-fledged Dunedain are more than qualified for hunting Goblins, seeing as how they kind of spent their entire lives learning how to see but not be seen. As for the Tooks, you are indeed very mistaken. Hobbits are the most naturally stealthy race, and even the least stealthy of them can avoid being seen if they don't want to be. Heck, with limited light, they can openly line the side of a road and still not be seen by those walking down it (as they did in the Scouring of the Shire). *Although a few fires are lit, they soon die out. The barrage of arrows and hasty retreat meant that not much could be done to aid in spreading fires (a little bit of oil spilled on the ground was about it), and so the fires don't make it very far. Anyone who stayed back to try to help said fire spread didn't last long enough to make much of a difference.* OK, I thought that around meant around the area they were in, which is the border of the thicker patch of woods. So yeah, let's change those moves and go from their. More or less, it is. Either way, you would've only inspected the very border of the thicker patch, while my troops would still be hidden slightly deeper in. Your alternative would be to actually enter the thicker woods, and then you might be able to spot something. You first, just so I know exactly what to respond to. |

One, my troops never moved forward. All of my Dunedain and Hobbits are exactly where they started out. Second, you've still only inspected the border, so you wouldn't yet have seen any of my troops. |

Second, you've still only inspected the border, so you wouldn't yet have seen any of my troops. ugh, I feel like you're being to literal with my move. My troops scouted the area before creating the ditch, is it that hard to process? But, whatever. They're will be something that alerts them due to them being goblins and as such having better senses, whether it be a twig cracking from the repositioning (and their would be some of that) or even one or two sod boxers being smashed. *My troops begin firing arrows with sacks of oil into the area where your troops are. Each archer with a sack of oil is accompanied by another Archer, who fires an arrow a few minutes later.* They sacks are small, and tied on by rope. When they hit a rock or a branch, they break, seeping oil over the area. They're firing from outside of accurate range, and the arrows without sacks are weighted with lead to keep them the same weight as the ones with oil. |

If you want your troops to scout out a specific area, such as the heavily forested patch, then say that they scouted out (or rather, are scouting out) that area. Don't just assume that I'm assuming that you did something you never said you were doing. And the only scouting you said that your Sod Boxers were doing was around (not in) the thick patch. And lastly, who said my troops were repositioning? Or that they were taking out your Sod Boxers? I have yet to make a move where the Dunedain or Hobbits budged from their starting position, and the only moves where they fired have been undone since we jumped back. If one of your Sod Boxers were destroyed, then that was from their own clumsiness or one of your troops going rogue. Whatever noise there might be is more likely to be coming from a random bird or squirrel than one of the troops in question. *Little patches of oil are splattered around. Not much else happens.* Now now, my dear boy, you really ought to stop playing with fire. It's not safe, you know. If you don't, I may have to be a bit more forceful with you. |

I thought I responded to this, but I guess I forgot about with all of my other stuff going on. Okay, I was thinking we went back further. That would include the very edge of the thick patch, but not beyond. There are still some points deeper in that could hit your troops. Well, they're not firing. For the sake of clarity, I'm going to say that your main army is on the south side of the thick patch, while your fire-stuff is on the other three. *My main army quickly mobilizes, moving for your north front. As the Dwarves approach, your Sod Boxers notice slight hints of other movement going roughly eastwards-ish of the main army's new position.* |
