That's what you did?

2) The attack/raid had to be done fast to avoid getting drown in to a prolongued fight the dwagons couldn't win without casaulties. This means that some siege units were probably left alone as the risk of being overwhelmed by units that come to help would be to big. (this argument may be untrue if a selective attack means that only the attacked unit/stack can defend itself which I doubt as archers were shown firing on the dwagons. Besides, what's the logic about aircover if it can be avoided so easily.)

Well, if the same "8 per stack" rule holds for them, 1 Siege Tower, 2 Pushing Heavy Bears, and 5 units of Marbits/Archerbits, whatever = better than 50% surviving any selective attack, so it's a "Win" for every toasted tower.

Maybe ONLY the Marbits in the stack attacked can attack, the others can't unless you are dumb enough to end your turn next to them. (Sort of a Noob mistake...)

Whatever feelings Wanda has for Jillian, pragmatically she knows that Jillian is safe so long as the barbarian doesn't do anything stupid: Ansom loves her, and Parson has been told that Wanda owns her and has her under thrall. Parson, Dark Lord of the Hampster, isn't about to target a unit that may have use to Wanda (and thus, to Gobwin Knob.)

You are absolutely correct as far as this goes. But the thing is, Wanda is not worried about Parson targeting Jillian, but the other way around. Ansom's turn is about to begin; Jillian will be flying back to the column, possibly at Wanda's instigation; she will probably run into Parson's forces massed there; and Jillian being the loose cannon that she is, she just might get herself obliterated by charging right into them. There is nothing Parson can do to prevent that; it's about to happen on Jillian's initiative. (Parson's Klog #6: Flying stacks with a commander may selectively engage non-fliers on their own turn.) The reason for the boop-up? A communications failure: Wanda did not correctly predict what Parson was about to do, and she carelessly failed to listen to his details. It's Wanda's negligence--but she is still unhappy, perhaps more so. OOPS!

Parson has clearly gone around his Overlord's jurisdiction by operating independently. Stanley, who became an Overlord by regicide, might take it as a move against his rule personally and seek to punish or disband Parson, though for different reasons than what happened before Wanda dealt with him. Stanley needs to be in control of all the situations related to his units, even though Parson performed superbly, Stanley would have still wanted to be there to perform minute actions that would've slightly boosted his score or things like that.

I disagree--Stanley does not concern himself with tactical minutiae. See here: "...Strategy doesn't matter. Those are details. That's your job." This may be because he considers himself too important for details or, more likely, because he is incompetent at tactics and so pretends to be too important to deal with it. (How many bosses like that have you known? ) At any rate, Stanley is not likely to object to an underling doing his work for him, as long as Stanley reaps the rewards.

The plan for this turn calls for the raiding dwagons to fall back to base (i.e. behind the slower dwagons left behind to form a protective ring) after either all of them are too wounded to safely continue or all siege units within reach have been destroyed. Since Parson has already wiped out about fifty siege units, presumably this part of the plan has been completed. The dwagons will be nowhere in sight by the time Jillian could possibly return.

However, Wanda doesn't know the details of Parson's plan, and perhaps doesn't know that Jillian is still with the forward group (she may have expected her to insist on starting back during the same turn the air units rendevoused with the incursion group). Thus, she may be picturing the scenario you describe, and it possibly just occurred to her that they might have had their last female bondageing session.
