I don't know if this battle report is as mighty as Duo's (great battle report by the way), but heck, I want to share this.

So I was starting the Spring Netjak Hunt with my grey. I was sitting on the floor 3, I think, when a grey jumper, konica, comes:

Clearly meant to be an antigrey formation. Lightning Ward, double cleric, two scouts, knights, dragon, and mud golem.

My initial strategy was to attack his scouts with two of my knights. Attacking such a formation with a grey is risky business, but I decided to give it a shot. After a few moves, I was able to corner his scout (his first mistake) and kill it.

I got some lucky knight side blocks and retreated with my knight at 15 HP. He then foolishly tried to pursue my knight with his mud golem (his second mistake). I lured the mud golem to the lower left corner and then slashed the poor fellow with my knights, and as the mud golem retreated, I finished it off with my scout. He was now two units down, I was able to retreat with my 1 HP knight and regroup. He had no other choice but to go all defense.

My second strategy was to setup an assassin bomb as a defensive measure, barrier it, and then go on an all out attack. While I was doing this, he opened a gap for my advanced knight to take advantage of. I advanced and he attacked my knight with his dragon.

Now things got interesting. I advanced my knight further to tempt him into using his scout. He took the bait and now his dragon and scout were waiting 2 turns. I took advantage of this, and advanced my 1 HP assassin to this winning position:

Here both scout and dragon are still waiting one turn, therefore, losing two units is inevitable. He realized this and surrendered.

I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed the battle.

Wow, great job Cid. :)
I've never been too good as Grey, but it seems as though you handled this situation perfectly.
Congratz' on the first win for the Netjak Spring Hunt.

Ah, I assumed this on the account of Spring Break just starting, and I hadn't figured you'd be jumped by THAT many Golds in one day.
In any case, great win!

Incredible though I have one question. He could have pulled off a sacrifice and tryed to luck hiself to victory. If the bottom cleric has no wait he can fill that gap with his own cleric and force you to retreat your assassin which in the position would be devastating. He doesn't seem THAT smart though.

Great win/battle report!

If he filled the gap with the cleric, I would simply have bombed the cleric and the scout. That's why I said that losing two units was inevitable.
