Well, I've started my first draft, and I can't say I don't enjoy it so far.
1-P
I decided to go with Edward as my free unit for these first 3 chapters. He owned, Wrath came in handy.
8 turns.
1-1
Using just Eddie in this was very difficult, and without rigging the game so he wouldn't get hit by ~70 hit rates, I had to use Nolan for meatshielding. 4 turn penalty for me.
7 + 4 = 11 turns.
1-2
Free use of Micaiah and Sothe have made this wonderful. I used Sacrifice on Eddie on turn 2 to keep him alive, then kept Micaiah and the others back. Eddie tore up the second floor and Sothe handled the third. I had Laura and the others climb the ledge and had them all shove her so she could arrive. Sothe also stole a pair of vulneraries because he could.
Note: undrafted units CAN shove other undrafted units, so this is fair.
9 turns.
So far: 28 turns. Not a bad start.
Ah, yes, and now for stats for my 2 free characters.
