Heh. Looks like the 'empty hex' theory was right after all.

Looks like Ansom got played the fool. His column's in for some pain, and I wouldn't be too surprised if there was an attack on his strike force as well.

Re: Erfworld 65, Page 59
Even if we pretty much all expected that to happen, I still feel bad for Ansom and Vinny...on the bright side, even if all the dragon attack them next turn, it doesnt look like they'll be able to beat them. I mean Ansom is stronger then a dragon and I'm sure Vinny and the wood elf leader are too! But that also mean they are gonna lose all their siege units.

Re: Erfworld 65, Page 59
Aw, those poor dwags went down fast once Ansom sent in more than just a stack at a time. Understandable why Rob and Jamie would want to speed things up, though. I'm glad, since here I was expecting that it wouldn't be until next page that we found out what was in the center hex.
As semi-expected, it's empty. Sucks for Ansom! But at least Vinnie was smart enough to send a bat first. That saved a crucial two forest movement hexes that might just give Ansom enough movement to get out of there before the swarm of dwags get their revenge!
Edit: Bwahaha, the elves said "fW00t!" Looks like Stanley's side isn't the only side with l33tspeak.Last edited by TiamatRoar; 2007-06-30 at 07:23 PM.

Re: Erfworld 65, Page 59
I imagine the Tool knows what's going on. He should be able to clearly see where the 19 dwagons are and thus know what that means for Ansom's side. He can't be that stupid.
Vinnie exclaimed "Titan's testes!" As if that guy didn't need more reason to be one of my favorite characters.Last edited by TiamatRoar; 2007-06-30 at 07:26 PM.

Re: Erfworld 65, Page 59
Most believed that the center was empty but what will happen next? Will Parsons go for the rest of the siege while Ansom and friends are moved away or will there be a pile on Ansom. Personally I think that Parsons will hit the remaining siege. I think the casualties for taking on Ansom and his forest brigade would be to high of a price and might not work out in his favor, while the siege is left open for another bombardment. It's just my thoughts.....

What will be the set of the next installment? I am hoping for some exposition from Parson to the Tool.
Maybe Wanda's reaction.

Re: Erfworld 65, Page 59
Ansom should either run or try and take out as many dwagons as he can before Parson's turn (i.e. start working his way around the circle). I assume the other Dwagons are heading closer to the castle, since I can vaguely remember that that was the original plan. At this point, the ring of Dwagons will converge on Ansom, while the other group of Dwagons will wipe out the rest of the seige. One thing to keep in mind about this game... the Arkenpliers are only one tool from the gods. Stanly is going to want all of the rest of the Arkentools.
One thing that has been bugging me.. earlier it was hinted at that Zamussels is Royalty. Could it be that she's hiding something from Ansom?

Re: Erfworld 65, Page 59
If he takes out the forest brigade now, Ansom will have nothing left to attack the dragons when they're in those forest squares. It will become an impregnable fortress that dragons can rest and heal up, and then strike from. Even Gobwin Knob can't offer that kind of security.

Re: Erfworld 65, Page 59
You forgot about the fliers. Parson can't keep this up because there's a friggin' huge fleet of gwiffons, orlies, and unipegators with Archons and Jillian at the helm coming back within a turn.
Also, judging by Ansom's tactical map, there might not be as much forest up ahead if the army presses on (which they'll be able to do faster once all their slow moving siege is destroyed)Last edited by TiamatRoar; 2007-06-30 at 08:06 PM.

Re: Erfworld 65, Page 59
Great comic as always. Now the only question is how much move to the units have left. The fewer they have the more booped they are. As always Vinnie is thinking ahead enough to send in a single bat to find out the opposition's strength.

Re: Erfworld 65, Page 59
I wonder if Ansom and crew instituted any protections for their siege towers other than this assault.
Because if they didn't bother, assuming that the assault would be an appropriate counter, then the towers are just as vulnerable - even more so - than before. And Ansom is now isolated from the main line, with all of the forest-capable units with him...

I think it's important to note that Vinny has fangs on both sides, upper and lower.

Re: Erfworld 65, Page 59
Aha! Looking back at the last page, I see now that while the two gumps in the first panel are only maybe twice as tall as Tarfu, in the last panel the common woodsy elves are only coming up to the middle gump's thighs. They're tree high like Tolkien's ents.
I've been thinking about the vulnerability of the remaining hexes of B dwagons. Ansom pulled together as much force as could reach that center hex, maybe even more (possibly bringing some that could only help with breaking the weak hex). I'm guessing that the most that they could do would be to squash one of the adjacent hexes of four before they would have to leave too much of their forces behind to safely continue.
I'm really curious about what Ansom is going to tell Jillian to do. Protect him? Protect herself? Or, protect the siege engines?My avatar is a remix that I made of Prince Ansom. Resource credit:

Re: Erfworld 65, Page 59
Piff, if I remember a few dwagons booped several orlies when Jillian was captured, so I don't think they are much of a threat
IF Parson destroy all the siege he willl have won half the battle, without the siege units the only way to invade is to use the tunnels and I think someone mentioned that Stanley troops can easily hold these.
Not to mention that the dwagons can rest in the city and fight again, just like they are doing in the forest"Please note, we have added a consequence for failure.Any contact with the chamber floor will result in an unsatisfactory mark on your official test record, followed by death.

Re: Erfworld 65, Page 59
The flier group is too powerful for the dwagons in a direct fight. Parson says as much in his klog. And there isn't much way to avoid a direct fight. Why are you making assumptions when Parson himself says that he planned on withdrawing to Gobwin Knob after the initial assault? Don't you think he has a better grasp of the exact nature and power of the units than you do? He's the one with the 3D shades, you know.
Last I checked, there was a crapload more than just orlies pictured in that panel with Ansom leading the fliers, you know. And using fliers to pick off dwagons wounded by archers wouldn't be very hard, especially given that they'd have far more mobility to punch through hexes to get to the creamy nugget in the center if Parson has to resort to an actual fort (which he likely eventually will, given that gwiffons have twice as much move for scouting as doombats do). Stanley's side isn't be the team with superior firepower here. I don't think Wanda would be making nearly as big a deal about being outnumbered if they at the very least had superior air power over Ansom's entire fleet.
IF Parson destroy all the siege he willl have won half the battle, without the siege units the only way to invade is to use the tunnels and I think someone mentioned that Stanley troops can easily hold these.

It's hard to tell when we don't have much information about how much taking out the three dwagons cost them.

Re: Erfworld 65, Page 59
Well, I'd say it was more stated than hinted at here: http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0039.html. Also from this I would feel pretty safe in saying that she is hiding the fact that she is royal from ansom. However I would bet that the reason for that is somewhat complicated.
