Hypothetical battle: Suppose you are a drudge and you are fighting a 3 defense squad unit. On level ground you would on average roll 1 skull - they would roll an average of 1 shield. By stepping down into the swamp water - you roll an average of 1.5 skulls - they roll an average of 1.333 shields - UH OH!!! Statistically you have the advantage here now. Only problem is... when they attack you back (assuming they had 2 attack to start with) they are now rolling 1.5 skulls on average to your 1.333 shields on average. So its most beneficial if you can get the first strike in by dropping down into the swamp water. Another great thing about it is, you get to move 5 spaces, then 5 more, then have a range of 5. So you can gang up on things across the board quite quickly. I love the ability, its a lot of fun to play. |

Want more? Hide the Hive behind a castle, put Swamp water hexes on both sides of the walls. The Hive is protected and your Marro Druge can pop in and out of the castle at will!!!

I have pwned with these suckers. a threat range of 10-15, plus 2-4 att/def. They are incredibely mobile, and are rangers, giving them a really good threat range. Also tunnel under a castle, or the other side of a hill. I use these guys for hit and run tactics.

Or, you know, make your own map. As I mentioned in the other thread:
If the Swamp Terrain was released in a large expansion, the Drudges would have been the squad packaged in it. Much like the Dzu-Teh and Obsidian Guards before it, you have to make a map that makes use of their terrain advantages. Like any terrain specific unit, the Marro Drudges are only as good as the map they're on. |

Personally, I will not be playing them much unless it is for specific scenarios. Sure the Swamp Water Tunneling gives them some extra mobility, but their stats are weak enough that the extra mobility really does not look like it would help much; unless you are looking for some mobile tie-up pieces. My opinion is that it would have been more beneficial if they had Swamp Water Tunneling and Swamp/Swamp Water Strength. Oh, on another note, I just realized that Swamp Water Tunneling may let you leave engagement without having to take the leaving engagement attack? We will have to see how Hasbro calls this, but it seems to me that since the Swamp Water Tunnel ability lets you 'place' a figure 5 spaces away, rather then saying 'move', then the requirement for a leaving engagement attack is not meet since the Drudge is not 'moving' from the adjacent character. Kind of like the Drudge just simply sunk into the swamp to pop up again. |

these are ok marrow on their own, a little cheap squad but on swamp they are well worth their points.
want to read a good fanfic? read "after the swarm" and if you really liked that please read my sequal, after the swarm, fight for survival! both of these fanfics have action, dispair, adventure, and marro! it will be worth the read trust me on this one |

Ha finally found a time when it helps to lose the hight and gain the swamp water strength. When you are staring down Q9. If they use the special attack, they won't get the height bonus, and if they use normal attack, they only kill one drudge. That is a win win if I ever saw one.
I just hope Aquilla doesn't summon me any time soon. |
