left on field: deamon prince, defiler
i thought this was an immense battle, with my armies, against huge monsters and a titan
i think my man of the match was my commander, he killed a freakin' titan!!! although my joy was short lived as a lucky shot from the defiler's cannon killed him outright. which was a pain, but while writing this battle report, i am feeling the same awe i felt during this truly epic combat.
