*eats popcorn* Come on General Armand. Very good update B&B. Yeah sure, Root him on instead of the obvious winner! But seriously, this is just sad for my side. Course a dedicated bomber might have been helpful... Even though this army is essentially abandoned I have feelings for it  sending updated plans now. Man I wish I could mod these things but I'm about a year away from mod-hood. |

Why does everyone think these are such a chore? I have fun writing it! It's mostly just a chore when you have a bunch of other things to do. Otherwise, I agree that they can be fun. Both sides seem to be responding to each other very well, this is quite a battle of tactics. |

It's actually pretty hard to write. The plans counteract eachother fairly well...

Well, there's one thing that's not easy about it. It's not always interesting to write a stalemate, but when plans counteract each other, it's hard to be fair because both sets can be quite good. At least it's better than when battles were just one huge update; now the combatants get a chance to react.

I havn't reached mod hood either nor do I think I can take on mood-hood with my life of nothing but swimming taking up my life. |

My life consists of this and procrastination!  Which coincidentally is the same thing. |

Both sides seem to be responding to each other very well, this is quite a battle of tactics. Yeah, I have to write my honors band portfolio tonight and then call my girlfriend. Not to mention finals and the fact that I have to learn weeks of physics tomorrow because I offered to tutor a girl who is ahead of me. I'm not just complaining for sympathy, but agreeing with Dumple that lives can get quite hectic. I may or may not get new plans up tonight. |

Sorry 'bout the delay ppl, but shopping takes up time  ====================== The Battle of Blood-Stained SnowBattle ThemeUpdate 3 Part 1
Plaxicor stood in horror at the battle. He now had bulborbs running in circles and mass chaos out on the battle field. He calloud out to the nearest rifleman and told him to call down the Jayhawk. "Get the cavaliers in here! Everyone attack! This is our last stand!"
From across the battle field, riding a top one of the liberty tanks stood General Armand. He could see the Jayhawk descend from the cloud cover and land inside the base. Then after a few minutes take back up into the clouds. This was it...
The Fiery Dweevils watched the Jayhawk fly up above them. They dumped their pikmin camouflage and made their way to the ammunition storage. The large metal doors were hard to open from the cold, but with a little fire, they were able to melt the ice off the hinges. Inside stood the piles of explosives that were devastating their army. Hopefully one day they would go down in history as the five that risked their lives to save many. They began to light their fires.
The only thing that Plaxicor could remember of the incident was an ear-shattering noise, and then some invisible force throwing him across his base. He was trying to get his footing as the ringing in his ears prohibited all the noise of the battle. He turned around quickly and saw that his base was on fire. The Barracks' roof was a blaze and where the ammunition storage used to be was a pile of flaming rubble. Plaxicor could only hope that his plan would work.
The caustic dweevils began to encircle their longer-legged friends at all costs, the enemy was going berserk, no longer adhering to any plan. The anodes were frantically slicing at their foes, being overrun by the barrage of tiny creatures, the last of their kamikaze brethren taking their lives for the greater good. The sound of the blasted plane had suddenly gotten louder as they could see is descend as an angel of death... ================= Sorry, don't have time to finish, I feel so bad. No need for plan updates. I have it all written in my head, just have to get last minute shopping in before Christmas!

FOR LIBERTY! Excellent work there, B&B. Can't wait to see the end, but I understand that shopping is quite the time consuming task.

Part 2
The Jayhawk flew down from the sky. Flying extremely close to the ground, troops began to jump out of the back. The spinies began to shoot rapidly as riflemen and cavaliers came flying down. Most landed rather awkwardly, but were able to strike at the dweevils, many rushing at the tanks, being able to climb on top and fire down into the machines. The Jayhawk was making another circle around the battle.
Armand jumped off of his tank, grabbing the nearest anode copper sword, he ran off toward his greatest foe. Just as soon as he jumped off did the spinies get the final shot in. One of the Jayhawk's propellers caught fire and began to spiral into the ground. The troops were thrown around inside during their penultimate moments. The plane spun down and hit the ground, spinning and bouncing off the ground, taking out the tank that Armand had just abandoned. The crashing pile of twisted crashed into the fray as the fuel tank caught flame and exploded.
Armand was thrown off by the heat, but he continued to run foreword, past the troops toward a staggering bulbear. Plaxicor focused his sight ahead and saw the dweevil rushing at him. He dived at a spear and quickly bringing it up he blocked a swipe by Armand.
"For liberty!" screamed the dweevil and he again brought his weight down on the spear, "We will not fail! For everything that we embody, for the death of the fallen, WE WILL PREVAIL!". Plaxicor enraged by Armand's self-righteous behavior thrusted the spear weakly at him. Looking up at the compromised wall the two battlers saw the falling MG turret come at them.
Quickly they both dove out of the way as it came crashing to the ground. Plaxicor was still thrown off from the earlier explosion, trying again to right himself he suddenly felt the cold metal pierce through his chest. "Y-you..." he looked up at the dweevil. His vision was fading but the last sight he saw was that of Armand's blood spewing from his body.
Armand slowly turned around as he saw the white pikmin reloading the rifle. Growing weary he couldn't move as he watched the pikmin reload and aim straight at him. He closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable.
Nothing.
Opening his eyes, Armand saw the pikmin crushed underneath the tread of the liberty tank. A dweevil rushed up to him and began to bring him toward the vehicle. "We're leaving. The enemy has been cripled..." were the last words Armand said before blacking out.
He woke up from the bump of the land. Through blurred vision he saw a blood-stained path of snow leading toward a pillar of smoke out at the horizon. The sun shined through the clouds and glistened off the snow. The general fell asleep.

good battle. since my army is abandoned, it's technically defeating. Also, I think Armand should have died. I mean, it's not like I only had one pikmin to shoot at him with.
EDIT: also, is there any way to give the requisition to my new army, or is it just going to fizzle out into nothingness?

A dramatic ending and organized. That helps reading a lot, having lines separation.
By any chance, did you give the Requisition defense penalty to Maka? I think the victory gain was listed as 30 Req. and a rough estimate gives Maka more then 8 Req. from direct combat. There might have been an achievement for officer death as well.
I don't know about whether Req. will carry over to a new army; there's nothing in the rules that talks about that. Personally, I think it'll be a nice consolation for anyone who has to start over.

I think it should count as a defeat for pretty much what raymond said; his army started over. There's no opportunity for me to capitalize on casualties and finish the job, so I think it would be safe to assume I do end up finishing the job. That's just my take.
Also, even without it, I'm calculating my Requisition gain to be 17, not to mention a few achievements that I'll PM you. Remember, we only halve defense requisition.

sending updated plans now. Man I wish I could mod these things but I'm about a year away from mod-hood.
