So I played 2 physical games of this this week. Came in 3rd and 4th
Got totally hosed in the last game. I used the last of my rage, and was sitting with a boat and sea monster for 5 strength points on a fjord. This one guy had the upgrade that lets you invade with a free warrior when you lose a battle.
He invades next to my boats with a single warrior and pillages. Plays a battle card that steals 3 glory from the winner if you lose. He loses, I get zero net glory. He then keeps the card and invades with a warrior for free to replace the one he lost.
I then realized in horror that he could keep repeating this and there was nothing I could do. It was impossible for me to lose, and he could just keep making a free pillage attempt, get glory, and replace his dead warrior for free. He did this seven times. The only thing that eventually stopped him was no more warriors in the reserve since they were all in Valhalla. He farmed 21 glory off me and I was forced to discard a card every time since I was the "winner".

You aren't forced to play a card. You can play nothing. But the free warior/lose scheme is evil and wrong anyway...
(3) sea monster + (1) warrior vs (3) leader vs (2) ship
Blue plays
Yellow plays
Green plays
Final result is 5 to 4 to 2
Blue wins, gains 5 glory, discards card, pillages for +1 axe stat
Green gets card back, loses ship, gains 4 glory, steals 1 rage from Blue
Yellow loses leader, gets card back
So hang on- blue should have lost a warrior to Odin's Smite before strength comparison, right? And there would have been a window to play any hypothetical Heimdall's Eyes after seeing revealed cards? And green should have received the rage instead of me?
Can I get a clarification on whether or not the Giant was marched in? And if the warrior was placed in Angerboda? Basically, whats the timeline here regarding the posted orders that @AustinP0027 and I made before finishing the battle?

Oh right, giant counts as a leader. Good combo.
