i found your points on commanding wood elves in tourneys interesting, but have a couple of questions-
a) combination of frog scroll and sniper is very interesting. Nice combo!
b) do people really set up trebuchets in range of your archers? Most Bret players I've seen in tourneys deploy them in the corners or behind infantry units, with a further -2 to hit penalty for archery.
c) Agree that you are relying on a strong magic roll for everything to work, but it's cool that you've got a plan. Sometims people don't plan for the best case scenario and can waste a good phase. Rolling a double six gives you double the power dice of the opponent's dispel dice, it doesn't happen often and isn't to be squandered!
d)No dispel scroll? Surely enemy magic takes it's toll on you faster if the frog spell doesn't work? Enemy armies with life magic and Dwellers (like
Brets) must be gunning for your own mages too.
e) The wood elf 3+ ward save, is that against magical damage or non-magical damage? I can't remember which is which!
f) Do Bret players really scroll the Amber spear? 3 S10 hits, that need to roll to wound and then they get ward saves... Surely, if an enemy army has 7 spells including Dwellers, you save the scroll for Dwellers? it's 3 hits allowing ward saves vs 50% of a unit dead +50% chance of mage death... I usually have the silver mirror and the dispel scroll, both reserved for Dwelllers/Hex scrolls etc etc!
