Could it be that you're extremely bored?

[LeoLeonardoIII]

I DO SAY THERE IS NO R- ahem.

Care for a tumbler of scotch, old man? Garçon! And the ice - there's a good lad - aah here we are.

*sirrrrp*

As I was saying, there is no reason to keep such a pleasant and enlightening game from others should they wish to join!

For my opening move, I shall exploit MacGruder's Pensioner's Gambit from TACTICUS, Strategies for the Adept and Honorable. It allows me to create a second empty play field adjacent to the first separated by my choice of obstacle.

I choose Tentacle Demons.

[Smitehappy]

Good play sir, good play indeed.

However, I exploit the Habberdash clause in MacGruder's Pensioner's Gambit from TACTICUS, Strategies for the Adept and Honorable, allowing me to turn you Tentacle Demons into Microline thrones and giving me 20 summoning points. What say you!

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Thank you kindly, good Dwarf. Might I mention that a little pretention gets some attention in this little invention of ours. Feel no apprehension, keep doubt in suspension, and please join our game (and us, by extension!)

As for our game.

The Haddock's Mattock rule (The Ugly and the True, pp 1,024) clearly states, there can be no confusion, that when a player invokes any Habberdash clause the other players all have the opportunity to summon one creature at a zero point cost.

I summon a Wide-Bottom Dwarf. It takes up two tiles. I choose to place it over two of your chairs, a buttock in each. The northernmost and the next.

I summon a Dwarf wagon, according to Wagon Summoning Volume II. Page 100, sub-section Dwarf Wagons.

[RAM]

The children's guide to anarchy: Apocalypse addition, requires that I summon cats to pull the wagon, and then goes on to state that those cats each summon cats on all available adjacent sides.

...
So are you going to roll for a catsplosion or am I going to have to do it?

*sigh*

D6=1

Well, as per the catleather edition of 'Urist McDamncats Tacticus and cats: Catsplosion-Catsplosions'
Two cats spawning 5 cats has a catsplosion difficulty of 5-the amount of dwarves. So.. -1.
Um.
I guess there was no need to throw the dice, then. The amount of cats will double every turn until all cats are killed.
:/


Anyway I cast blinding Microline, consuming 3 of the thrones and stunning all creatures in play.
This will, of course, do nothing to stop the catsplosion; McDamncats is quite clear that cats can breed whilst stunned, submerged, and dead. Not in the presence of oranges, though. Odd, that. Reminds me of one game, once, hmm, yes, there was a troupe of elves who started an orange grove, which was preventing the single cat (which I recall was tied to a dead titan) from breeding, but then a brewery was invoked on the magma pipe, and, well, you can imagine the rest. Oh yes, they created a new rule after that. No invoking breweries when the turn is a prime number in the event that oranges, cats, and at least two nightshades are in play. Heh.

Well, chappy, I will counter with Ye Dwarf's Big Book of Tacticus Maneuvres And Stratagems, which states that when controlled by a Senor Generalissimo, Abomination class creatures are immune to stunning - and thus my Dwarf/Host of the Eldar Abominations are able to cast their starting spell, Killcats 5000, without penalty. The Tacticus Spellbook of 1830 also lists the aforementioned spell as a d20 with a 7+ roll for success; due to their Abomination class, which provides a +2 magic bonus, and their Host of the Eldar, with a +6 bonus (halved, of course, do to combination summoning), my DHEs only need a 2+ roll:
(19)(3)(2)(17)
My army destroys four cats!

I employ, for the entire use of my turn, a little-known and even less-discussed rule from the Vagaries of TACTICUS: A Hallowed Guide: Supplement XIII (of which there is only one barnacle-covered copy, in the personal library of the most excellent Lord Aqizzar at his Montalron estate). It allows me to surround the play field with a wall.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

I say!

According to page 147 of Farnsworthy's Guide to Dwarves and Dwarfkind - Why They Do What They Do my Wide-Bottom Dwarf must begin searching for a discarded article of burning clothing located as far as possible outside the fortress.

Fortunately, there is no such clothing and there is no open entrance to the fortress. He stays put - for now!
