I would think for a failure this huge the catapults would blow up in their faces and most of the catapult force is destroyed. Or Aryisa learns of their planned attack and the catapult units are infiltrated and destroyed. Or a traitor is among them and sabotaged the artillery units killing many Razanians, and the traitor is still not found or even known of. Perhaps the traitor is more then a few men but a whole unit of soldiers or something. Take this in stride.

I did think of something - what if the local Razanian Front was infiltrated, captured, and executed? This would prevent it from being a factor in actions involving Haran for the next... five years? Ten years? And perhaps give them a -1 penalty for the next year if they try to take any actions anywhere? -4 is bad. Gotta roll with it, and come up with something fun. --Sam Gorton ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send mail to celandra-off@phoenyx.net.

To me, to big losses is very counter productive and i am stuck in war for who knows how much longer. Don't want to win and i atleast take as much territory as possible before considering a Truce. Even that idea is ruined for several more turns equalling several more months real time. as i mentioned before, i am impatient. :P if our lives is runned by dices/numbers, uh, whats the point of living? I want the Razanian Front to survive because i have plans for them, after i the razanians defeat Aryisa or atleast liberate enough land. How much creativity i can do in a freakin war anyway? i tried some, which ends up being negative results and the suggestion of, doesn't work. -LordLMP _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Remember, the result scale goes down to -8 (and beyond). In my book, -4 is 'Serious failure' but not more. But I agree, you could rip some fun out of it :) > How much creativity i can do in a freakin war anyway? i tried some, which > ends up being negative results and the suggestion of, doesn't work. You had bad luck (a roll of -3). I know it's frustrating to come up with a good idea and see it turn to nothing just because of the die roll, but I'm afraid there's no other solution for it other than come up with another good idea. At least you can have some fun with the -4 result. Find some traitors among the catapult crews, make them bombard and kill the visiting Grand General, and then hang 'em - things like that ;-). juuso ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send mail to celandra-off@phoenyx.net.

Rest of razanians than blame Mir for it since their the only ones that can do such "god like" damage with their damn "god like" magic. Or some yut scared some of those riding animals and they had stampede through the catapults. The Catapult crew had a bit to much to drink and instead of shooting Aryisans, they were shooting the opposite way. Aryisa recently invented huge tennis rackets and hit the catapult fireballs back at the Razanians. The razanians argued among themselves on how to operate and all decided to be hot shots, screwing each other up. hmmm, what else? even, which this loss and the Northern/Western armies pushed back, screws everything up. overconfidents my butt. -LordLMP _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Dice can be incredibly annoying and they can really force you to think
and be creative especially when they do not go your way (just like real
life) and turn the disadvantage to your advantage.
The catapults could have be caught in an earthquake (or a geologically
weak area) and fallen into an underground chasm which leads to the
discovery of new resources, a magic item or an underground set of
passages deep into enemy territory.
A flash flood could have swept through the catapults and also
through the neighboring woods creating a new shortcut through enemy
lines.
The rebel forces torch the catapults, which throw their now flaming
loads into soldiers ranks, tents & buildings doing even more damage and
revealing a brand new tactic to use against future foes.
MAKE LEMONADE & pull your head out of the ....... sand (LOL)
