~sigh~ Sometimes, these guys dominate, and sometimes they fold faster than Superman on laundry day.
I played this army yesterday:
Minions x 2
Wolves of Badru x 2
Anubian Wolves x 1
Khosumet
Isamu
Five of my six Minions died by rolling NO shields the first time they were attacked. The last one managed to block one whole attack before dying in his starting zone!
But I recognize that as a particularly unlucky circumstance. The Red Tide is an awesome force.
