MayBe thought enemy archer ranks may stay distracted by infighting for a bit more so he concentrated to split Bert in two halves and didn't notice Broderick's upperswing with flail. Confused bit from the impact he thought at first his greataxe got stopped by Bert's helmet and uttered few curses at that weapon vendor in Darthmond but then find out that in fact greataxe was stronger than helmet and cut part of it, heavily injuring Bert on head and shoulder.

Second later MayBe's own shoulder got hit too, this time with an arrow. Still bleeding from what was left of his nose it, he noticed Adira has already prepared a new arrow while Brother Ham was still wondering which bolt from his quiver to pick next. Feeling several enemies concetrated on him so he probably won't stay up for much longer, he tryied to cause as much confusion in enemy lines as possible.

MayBe attacks Adira Salome, hoping he can cut some more helmets.

Brother Ham frowns at the sight of his assailant.
Dear God :(
Ham reloads his crossbow.

o rite Eviscerator ignores helmets.

Thanks for quick fix.

Reading through rules once more I found two more things:

• Taskmaster was commader issuing tactics who got attacked during that. He should have retaliate the attack. (It does mean he attacks back if he survives the first attack, doesn't it?)
• Some armor broke: Broderick got hit with halberd (-2 armor, he has now just 1 AP on that Dwarven Chainmail armor) and Lucius got hit with crossbow,bolt (-1 armor, he has now just 1 AP on that Chainmail armor)

Am I reading OP right?

Also, one question: tactics stay up for 3 turns, unless overwritten by other tactics. Does it stay active even in case the commander who gave it dies before time ticks out? Or maybe it stays up only when there is some other commander in that team, not looking which commander from given team issued given tactics?

_{P.S.: Sorry if you see it as nitpicking, I am new to this and with all those balanced numbers it seemed to me they are going to be used. Is it maybe better to talk about such things in forum games with GMs via PM?}

Some armor broke: Broderick got hit with halberd (-2 armor, he has now just 1 AP on that Dwarven Chainmail armor) and Lucius got hit with crossbow,bolt (-1 armor, he has now just 1 AP on that Chainmail armor)

The armor is pierced through, not damaged.

[Haspen]

Taskmaster got attacked but lost the basic roll so Henderson dealt damage.

Armor: what Hawk132 said.

And yes Tactics stay up even if the Commander dies. Without replacement though no more Tactics can be issued.

[Tiruin]

Nice summary text, Haspen. Though when MayBe the Sorted saw how is attack ended up:

Heavily wounded and bleeding, MayBe the Sorted decided to act while he still could. The Eviscerator soon sated its thrist for blood and destruction; and while the blade met with the thick helmet, it still managed to cut deep into Bert the Brainless' shoulder.

Roll for MayBe the Sorted: 2, +1 = 3, success!
Roll for Bert the Brainless: 1 = 1
Roll for damage: 10-1 = 9 => 4dmg!

Bert the Brainless has 7/11HP left!
Bert the Brainless is leaking blood!

he thought: Ehm, the guy who sold me that greataxe in weaponshop in Darthomnd seemed quite confident it should be strong enough to cut through any helmet. I wonder why it didn't work. If I survive this battle I may need to talk with this vendor again and ask for a refund of part of gold I spent on it. Or try how strong is his skull, rather...

((Fate caught up with you by Divine Intervention. Nice call. I missed that while reading the nice flavor written out with the rolls.))

Seeing many of his allies were wounded, (though his eyesight is indeed failing him,) the commander started a DEFENSIVE TACTIC.

I think you must go to Normal tactic first...

Team B IS at Normal tactic now because

Old General Henderson tried to invoke the old tradition of fighting commanders, so he charged, sword drawn, at Taskmaster Mu

[Haspen]

As the fight began to reach top speed, Old General Henderson felt it was a good moment to organize his mercenaries, and therefore issued a defensive tactic.

Meanwhile, Broderick the Brave attempted to get revenge against Lucius. Unfortunately, Lucius just seized the advantage and then poked out Broderick's other eye - killing him on spot!

Alphanti then tried to harm Brother Ham for the second time, but due to a small rock in the ground Alphanti tripped, giving Brother Ham precious seconds to draw his dagger and lunge at his would-be assailant. Alphanti raised his shield just in time to hear a 'plink!' going off it.

Adire Salome looked for weakly protected enemy and found one in the person of MayBe the Sorted. Pull, Aim, Release! With a loud swish, the arrow sailed just inches off MayBe's left ear.

Few seconds later Bert the Brainless attacked Lucius. Now incensed by previous fight, Lucius once again counterattacked and struck his halberd against Bert's chest, striking him down fast and clean.

Just after that happened, Taskmaster Mu tried his best against Old General Henderson. Taskmaster Mu was better and faster than the grizzled old man and actually scored a hit - alas, if only his axe could penetrate that thick plate armor!

MayBe the sorted in the meanwhile found the source of the arrow that flew past his ear and decided to take revenge - or maybe just chop off another helmeted head. He ran up to Adira Salome, who, despite the dagger to protect her, couldn't stop the giant axe from cutting diagonally downwards across from her left shoulder, making the guts and blood spill all over the grass. Before even her body fell onto the ground, she was dead.

A moment later, Tallow Knight roared in joyous mood and tried to happily murder someone. It was Brother Ham that was his target, and this time good luck and long dagger weren't enough to protect Brother Ham; fortunately, thanks to the mail armor he wore, the hatchet that struck his left hand caused only moderate wound, nothing he couldn't walk off in few days - if he lives that long, of course! For now, he decided to move out of the danger's path and reload his crossbow.
