Highlights

• Josh deployed all his characters into the temple guard.
• This game was a bloody affair , and the lizards did very very well, but for one wound on a steg my wild wood rangers would have survived the combat and threatened his saurus block, but the lost combat broke and ran.
• I cleaned up his skink screen effectively, thank you true flight arrows.
• I forgot to dispel fiery convocation in my turns which accounted for the death of my singer and her glade guard body guard
• Josh rolled total power every time it mattered, which reduced his slann to level zero mage level however by turn 4.
• Dwellers accounted for the slann mage and a goodly number of temple guard.
• In the last turn i decided to attempt to turn a draw to a win, but it backfire and became a loss instead.

Result  12- 8 against me , so another loss.
