OOC: Thank you, so being that the generics have yet to move, here are my propositions for the generics at least near me.

The Archer on (12,4) would move up to (12,3) & attack the enemy archer on (12,5)

Now, provided that attack kills the enemy archer, regardless whether the benevolent generic archer takes damage (Which I doubt, unless it misses the first attack, since I seriously don't think he'd get to attack a second time), I would then have the Generic Soldier on (11,4) move to (12,5) & use one of it's herbs. I haven't done any calculations yet, but I think the added health would greatly increase it's chance of survival of a potential 2 attacks. Possibly 3 attacks if the soldier below him gets killed in the midst of his defensive effort, but that probably won't happen since that last soldier adjacent to him on (12,6) would be waiting. By doing this, we essentially put a wall there so we only have two enemies in range of us at a time, the soldier & then the archer. That other who got separated from the pack that's further right will probably get downed easily with the two wyverns, Tuna & Mithos there. But after that archer's down, we can try to outlast them by cycling walls & having Mithos stand back & heal injured frontliners, who would be substituting themselves cyclically with the other generics, Tuna & the wyverns.

Ultimately, this will give us the advantage since we would have a 2-vs-1 fight just about every round, with 4 potential indirect attacks (More likely 3, since again, Mithos would be healing), but it's the safest way to kill them without having them kill us. Unless they score criticals, we should have time to heal every wound between turns, unless I'm giving our army too much credit. But I think this strategy will work up there. Any objections?

It's a fairly dull & defensive strategy (I wouldn't recommend having the units attacking at a range of 1 attacking on our turn at all, but from a range of 2 it should be good. Unless of course it's just picking an enemy off. The goal is to be attacked as little on the defensive phase as possible, since once we lose one person, it's just easier & easier to keep losing more units.

Speaking of more units, I'll devise my lancer in the near future. This post took a pretty decent chunk of time to think up & typer out, & I have work soon, but I'll get around to that eventually.
