I'm writing a follow-up report on my impressions. I'm afraid I'll forget how it all went – we want to play the second game no earlier than the day after tomorrow. The situation is precarious, but the sled at home and the book on the third floor allow me to safely perform a general dispel. Gargoyles with army bows, positioned near the sands, ideally eliminate a meaty opponent. My main stacks: I have a couple of dozen griffins, and Hvar has a hundred and a half harpies. I go into battle, it's a clash of titans. On the field, Haven managed to eliminate almost all of my birds with ogres and centaurs. I couldn't attack his harpies properly. The territory was cluttered. On the one hand, this was quite useful for me, as I was able to slow down the infantry with small sand patches. On the other hand, I couldn't hit the harpies with wolves and drunken satyrs. Luck wasn't on my side in this battle, and the gargoyles were quickly taken out of the fight. Otherwise, it's a matter of technique combined with Hvar's exorcism tactics. Mine didn't work. I'm accumulating bloodlust.
Thank you for the game!
