Hello all,

Please enjoy the latest episode of the battlecast :). Sorry for some of the poor photos and the occasional stuttering of the camera. Your feedback in my prior video and on this forum aided me in this battle, let me know if you have any other suggestions. Also, for those Latari players out there feel free to give me opponenet some feed back as he reads this and the comments on the video as well.

Runewars Battlecast Episode #8 - Waiqar vs Latari

Nice report. Very close game!!

Excellent as always, great report. :)

Great video. Awesome battle.

"I should have made my Reanimate Archers the bounty unit, because if they got caught, I'd already lost anyway."

So, so true. But you're right - ranged units have a huge "Charge Me!" sign hanging on them, so it's a tough call. And you never know how choosing a different bounty unit would affect your opponent's decisions.

My only critique is that Ankaur Maro's surge ability to heal can only be used with ranged attacks, so charging was a very dangerous choice. Fortunately, Maro would have been safe even without healing that wound, so no harm done.

Keep up the great work!

I agree! Who knows how having some of his army have to focus on my reanimates affected the survivability and positioning of my archers.

Good point about Maru. I didn't notice that haha.

I was pretty surprised that the spinned thresher could go toe to toe with his hero.

Thank you for your support!

Another great battle! It was fun to see the Spined Thresher in your army. I agree with you -- those guys can hit way harder than you expect them to. I also love that they get a reroll that doesn't reference ranks so that - as in your game - you can get a reroll even when flanked. Very neat!
