I am fairly certain that super-sized Dwarves were outlawed back around the time that super-sized fries suffered the same fate. Rumor has it that Ogres, who are prone to eat all armies irrespective of size, would consume the super sized Dwarves. The ramifications thereof would then be blamed on the plus-sized Dwarves themselves, not the lack of self-restraint or responsibility to select appropriately sized meals by the consuming Ogres. This lead to wide-spread obesity among Ogres, as well as super-sized hairballs (darn those bearded women). It is only in recent times that Ogre communities have evolved to a point where Ogres are now selective once again about their meal choices, typically selecting a lighter, fluffier Faerie or Gnome.

Hey. Easy on the dwarf jokes. Our bearded women don't complain!

"super army"? Or maybe, just a "regular-sized" army.

Can both armies retreat to Fio thereby creating some sort of "super army" dinobot style? Seems reasonable

Hi All,
Y'all have got me confused with this turn. So many twists, so many seeming stabs and yet, not all available stabs were taken.
Not a lot of commentary -- you probably read my EOG from my Haven game and I'm still a little weary from it.
So let's just get to the Results.
One funny little turn of a move needs some explanation. The Knights ordered A Shady -> Sweets, F Cel C Shady -> Sweets, Gurgi S Shady -> Sweets.
Well, the convoy was disrupted by the dislodgement of Celestial. However, the army can move directly to Sweets, and with support, the move succeeds.
The original rulebook says all unit moves must be fully written, but later revisions allow for multi-route convoys as well as "convoy or not" if that is an option.
Personally, I'm a purist and like the original rule, but times change and RealWorld is written with updated rules.
A few retreats are necessary.
