I agree with Ska about the cities. As for our attack, yes, that is an excellent point that makes complete sense. As it stands, Garmadon's guerrilla I agree does not fit the rules. (Mine on the other hand could be considered amassing supplies and as such I don't see any problem with it.) However, how does this sound; instead of attacking Ras-El-Akhen, we're attacking a major grain supplying outpost. Without the grain outpost, the city will succumb quickly to our forces. Does that sound like it fits the rules? Sorry for cutting it so close, somehow we did seem to miss that part! In the future we'll of course be more careful to stay away from such grey territory! Two other things - is it permissible to guerrilla anywhere in an opponent's territory? I kind of assumed that your team had to be touching it. (That would mean the attacks against J15 need to be relocated at least). Second - there have been seven guerrillas against Ulandus this week. Have we decided on the "no more guerrillas against a team than half the members that team possess"? I believe there's one too many against us (there are thirteen against us). If that's the case, I'd suggest that the one posted latest in time (MKJoshA's) should be deferred to this week.

Oh boy, I feel so sorry for those poor innocent peasants that are now getting gored and hung by mistake! Well, that's what they get for snooping around and trying to get a hold of the payment that was due for someone else! We'll see about that! Thanks!

Nice job with the muddy water!

Here's my entry into the Minichallenge:

Here be me entry! To Gain a Name

The 13th Legion Color: Dark Tan Nickname: The Pirates By far the greatest portion of the legion is composed of these heavy infantrymen. They bear the brunt of any attack! Generally termed "recruits" derogatorily by the heavy infantrymen. Their main job is scouting. They compose about a fifth of the legion. You may be wondering how on earth the Legion got such a bizarre name. Well, keep reading! Far, far underground. A sudden scuffling of feet and a power of violent exclamations. A small group of Ulandians come crashing through a hole in the cave wall. Behind them rolled a boulder that showed the reason for their haste. With a thud that made the rocks tremble, it stuck in the doorway, completely blocking it. “You little! What were you thinking!” “Yeah! I had even just mentioned booby traps!” “I’m sorry…” the recruit began to mumble. “Sorry! You’ll be a lot more sorry three days from now when we’re still stuck here without any food!” The heavy infantryman turned and started complaining loudly to his buddies, “We were going to impress everyone too! Man, we have a name to make for ourselves, and then some… some noob like this comes along and messes everything up!” His companions agreed with him heartily. Meanwhile the recruit stumbled into his friend. A few bumps and scrapes ensued, followed by a loud splash and a gurgling cry. “Water!” exclaimed one of the others, peering round him nervously, afraid to move. Everyone else froze, until someone managed to strike a light. The poor soaked recruit was promptly pulled out by the three infantrymen. “Where is the noob, anyways?” one asked. “Why isn’t he helping to fish out his buddy?” They turned and saw him, another torch in his hand, looking around him in awe. “Maybe this won’t turn out so badly after all,” he drawled. They all looked at the walls around them. “Gold. Tons of it!” muttered one. “Just what we need! I even heard the commander mention the need for funds. We’ve made our fortune, friends!” “Here, hold this,” commanded the infantryman who had been holding the first torch, handing it to the soaked recruit. “Keep it steady.” He peered closely at the gold. “It’s the real stuff all right! Gentlemen, I propose to you that we will no longer be known only as the 13th legion! We will be known as the Golden Legion! Three cheers for the golden legion!” Everyone cheered and threw their helmets into the air. Of course, since they were in a cave, the helmets clanged against the roof and then ricocheted into the water. The soaked private was deputed to fish them out, since he was already wet anyways. The rest set themselves to filling their pockets. “Now,” said one of the infantrymen, his pockets full, “if we could only find out how to get out of here!” Fifteen Hours Later: "Sir Centurion, here is a messenger from that nameless, unlucky 13th legion. He tells a rather far fetched story but insists he be brought to you." "Show him in," sighed the Centurion. The messenger ducked into the tent. With gleaming eyes he dumped his pockets out in front of the Centurion, quickly telling his story. "And there's more where this came from!" he finished. "This is excellent!" the Centurion exclaimed. "Well done, thirteenth legion! You have earned your place, if this be true!" Later that day, on the parade ground, the Centurion called a few of the men of the thirteenth legion over. "Who was it that found the gold first, you say?" Half reluctantly they pointed out 'the noob' as he was already called throughout the legion. "Excellent work, my boy," the Centurion said to him. "We will have to make you captain now!" The infantrymen's faces were a sight to behold! After all, they didn't get their pet name of "Golden Legion." Instead they were just called, "The Pirates." Another view! Comments and criticism are welcome! That rockwork... insane. Learn from my mistakes. Don't try to curve your rockwork. Thanks for checking it out! For the record, it is considerably smaller than the 32x32 max.

Yep, that's the way to serve 'em out! Snoopy pants... Nice work on this build! A bit of a tip on your landscaping - it would be a bit more realistic if you hadn't put green under your dark brown. Grass usually doesn't grow under dirt!

The snowscape here is really nice! Neat use of the different animals as well! I agree that the water could be spiffed up a bit, but the wacky icebreaker is pretty funny!

Nice job on the landscaping!

As others have said, the tilted rock is really nice! Good work with the tree too! As for desert landscaping... it's rather small, I'd really like to see something bigger before advising you to ask for that credit!

The roof of the hut is really nice, like the subtle curve!

Nice work with the submerged croc in particular! The SNOT road is well done too!

Great counter LJ, the sand scape particularly is good, love the olive green!

Nice little vig dG, like the combo of dark tan and dark flesh!

Ska, there seems to be some doubt as to whether or not this should really count as a guerrilla - could you give your opinion (hopefully yes ) on that?

Thanks everyone! Not in the slightest! Ras-el-akhen has thick walls. Thanks! It started out that way but ended up as a Tree-bucket. Can't see why it wouldn't be legal but we'll try to get Ska over here to give his final opinion. Thanks!

Love the "I've got plenty of money." "Okay. Hand it over or you die." Didn't see that coming! The build itself is very nice as well, both the bank and palisade are well done!

Well, there actually are more counters for example for Lord Dan's guerrilla. But I certainly agree that there's not likely to be a huge margin.

I did. Worked fine. I take it that means the problem is with the hardware, but what I'm not so sure about is if the problem is with the keyboard itself (and thus could be fixed with a replacement keyboard) or beyond that, with the computer. Back on topic: My! Speak of peace, justice and prosperity and then we're going to expel our long-lost brothers without so much as a "Nice-to-see-you-again-and-have-a-good-day?"

Sounds good to me Ska, except not sure about this: Can't say I really like that. If a team is concerned about not losing a square they're not touching, they should put some muscle towards getting a few squares around that before hand! Or at least, they should have some sort of disadvantage the second time around. I believe the final verdict was that when voting to decide whether the guerrillas or counters won, the voter first picks their favorite counter(s) and then matches those up against the original(s). So even if it were 13 counters to 3 originals (probably not going to happen!), the vote would be 3 to 3.

Actually if I DYI I don't think it will cost that much ($20?). I just want to be sure that that will be the right solution however. Also have to figure out how to get the keyboard out in the first place. That is, I know how in theory, just haven't managed it in practice yet! So far the indications do seem to be pointing toward a keyboard malfunction rather than either system or the actual computer having problems reading the keyboards signals. At least if it's true that if it has problems with the attached keyboard it would also have problems with a USB board. Or are those totally different? "lifted right out" Mine has these crazy tabs that I'm concerned will break long before they come out! Trying to lever them out scratches the surrounding plastic too. Corrected a slight misspelling there.

Yes, seems like it is a hardware problem, unfortunately. The odd thing about that though is that its not very old at all! Oh well...

Thanks guys! Thanks! IMHO ideally the counter would also spread various elements around. If that's not possible, then I don't think the builder should be allowed a full blown 48x32, but I suppose it's up to Ska.
