How many squads?

[Bothi]

I played against these guys a while ago;
Cyprien
Sonya
Skeles x3

Against my samurai army. I got slaughtered. Part of this was, of course, the dice, but being able to spew out more adjacent to Cyprien is definitely a game changer. It is almost as if you are able to engage figures across the board, as you can simply engage, drop a Skele or two on them, then stealth-fly away, to do the same thing to more units, making the engaged have a tough time of tracking Cyprien down. A very solid support and offensive unit.

Let's see, who was that against...

Oh yeah! Me!

I did have the dice and a good matchup, but now I'm convinced those Skeletons can be worth it...

Very good squad ! I'll try them this week.
Can I use reanimation if all my skeletons are dead ?

No, you have to reveal an order Marker to activate reanimation, and if all your Skeletons are destroyed...then you cannot reveal an Order Marker because the card is negated.

How about the pronunciation of Annellintia?
Where's the name come from?

You need to roll an 11 or higher for them to come back.

No, you need an 11 or higher to... wait, nevermind. Still a better chance than Zombies. Maybe. Anyway, my point is that if you CAN get them onto the Lord/Lady/Duke/Duchess card, then they will continuously come back. And honestly, 50/50 odds are among the best in the game for resurrection. Have fun killing things with those 3 attacks of 2. Or limiting yourself to 1 attack of 6.

As my friend (not on this site) pointed out, when you get 1 squad, you practically have 2 squads.

Of the 4 in a squad, 2 will come back on average, and of those 2, 1 will come back, and of that 1, one half will come back, etc., which adds up to an average of 8 total.

So you can practically think of it as a squad of 8 where you get to move 6 and attack with 4.

Yes, we did that intentionally to help with availability. IOW, it's a squad that gives you the feel of a swarming squad without you needing to buy a bazillion of them (e.g. Zombies), which would be tough since those figures have limited availability. Our designers are smart like that.

kpucblek, Annellintia and Mornidan is mention in cyprien's bio as where his skeleton, vampire, and zombie armies overrun.
