I've master the horse and will be a full knight of the realm in due time. <br /><br />As Dice Jesus points out that raising units to block people and redirect is a good tatic, but in the current rules there is no guarantee that you'll draw that spell. Even with three spell casters I want to keep at least one of them with invocation to keep the line solid. Basically I looking to create an army an a set of tactics that don't rely on the fickle whims of magic. That said, if I do draw the spell I'll certainly be using it.

Maisey's already caught me with my dispel pants down using that one in a smaller game :DCharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05494958315546165602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355959932852753291.post-42591618086091988292012-11-07T13:28:41.724+00:002012-11-07T13:28:41.724+00:00As an undead player from yester year, he might fin...As an undead player from yester year, he might find summoning small units zombies close to shooting unit and artillery units, then making them charge with magic.
