Reports on online games and their confirmations (Winter 2009-10 season).

Blackpoint (red, stronghold, Gurnison) def Avern (blue, castle, Valeska, Gundula) 213 2sm4d(3)

Valya came with one stack, but the archery ranges were built.
Two roads, one blocked by shooters, the other leads into the underground.
In the first week I built Horses in the Castle. I scouted 2 Griffin Conservatories, 3 Hives, 3 Dwarf Cottages and 2 Nag Banks. Secondary was Dungeon, no big caches (Troglodytes, Pikemen and Swordsmen).
In the second week I took all of that. I built Angels in the Castle. Collected 20 Flies. Gundula got Air and Armor.
In the third week there was an opportunity to intercept the blue's mana using a scout hero (Katya could reach), but I didn't risk it because then I wouldn't have had time to capture Inferno and buy Gundula there.
And then blue went into the treasure zone and I couldn't catch them, even though I saw all movements thanks to Expert Air.
Thanks for the game.

The game lasted 11 hours, which is longer than a chess match with professional control.
After something like that, I have no desire to play even fo-fan, let alone tournaments.
