Thanks, SC. It's only too bad that I hadn't launched another army in time to attack myself.

The first is the one you undid and then re-ran causing the 2nd right? KP P.S.  As per usual - thanks for the prompt (and correct) action in sorting this out.

Yup, exactly that.

Again, apologies to all.

With many apologies, especially for grabbing hold of people's accounts temporarily in order to sort this situation out - this was the fairest resolution of the issue we created, and I wanted to run it before further armies arrived to compound the problem.

This is what I have done to rectify the situation, step-by-step:

AMENDMENTS TO DUUVIAN's FORCES

 -- Return lost 12 Health to Commander Fluffy Wambler Thrower attached to First Division of Expeditionary Force
 -- Return 9 Phalanxes to First Division
 -- Return 37 Sentinels to First Division
 -- Return 58 Elven TrueShots to First Division

AMENDMENTS TO AMORPHIAS' FORCES
 -- Return Commander Cav of Division Cav to pre-existing health (100)
 -- Return 104 Death Packs to Division Cav
 
 -- Return Commander Missile of Division Bow to pre-existing health (100)
  -- Return 96 Death Dealers to Division Bow
 
 -- Return Commander Spear of Division Spear to pre-existing health (100)
  -- Return 10 Clan Guardsmen to Division Spear
 
 -- Return Commander Sword of Division Sword to pre-existing health (100)
  -- Return 77 Fists to Division Sword

AMENDMENTS TO HYPOCRITICAL's FORCES
 -- Create new army called "1st legion (SC)" at hypocritical's town Minas Tirith

 -- Create division "Gemina Cohort (SC)"
  -- Resurrect Commander Shepard, in charge of division "Gemina Cohort (SC)"
  -- Grant 25 Halbardiers to Gemina Cohort (SC)
  -- Grant 85 Axmen to Gemina Cohort (SC)
  -- Grant 50 Crossbowmen to Gemina Cohort (SC)

 -- Create division "Urban Cohort (SC)"
  -- Resurrect Commander Constaine, in charge of division "Urban Cohort (SC)"
  -- Grant 20 Halbardiers to Urban Cohort (SC)
  -- Grant 50 Axmen to Urban Cohort (SC)
  -- Grant 30 Stalwarts to Urban Cohort (SC)

 -- Create division "Infantry Cohort (SC)"
  -- Resurrect Commander hadrain, in charge of division "Infantry Cohort (SC)"
  -- Grant 30 Halbardiers to Infantry Cohort (SC)
  -- Grant 55 Axmen to Infantry Cohort (SC)
  -- Grant 23 Stalwarts to Infantry Cohort (SC)

 -- Create division "caverly Cohort (SC)"
  -- Resurrect Commander ledolas, in charge of division "caverly Cohort (SC)"
  -- Grant 25 Packsmen to caverly Cohort (SC)

-- Return these 4 commanders their pre-existing health levels (100)

COMBAT RESOLUTION

-- dispatch hypocritical's (new) army "1st legion (SC)" under the same orders to occupy the Flag Location
-- fast forward travel time to occur immediately
-- Combat has now resolved as it should have done in the first place, any we're back to where we would have been without the error first time round

tl;dr version
Server hiccup caused unfair combat for tournament.  I reset the 3 participants involved to how they were before the hiccup, and then reran the combat so it resolved correctly.

Many apologies to the three players concerned, and by way of a minor apology, all three get to keep the Commander Experience plus Attack and Defence scores from both combats.

On the plus side, we've tracked down the event that caused the hiccup and have shot it, repeatedly.

Regards,

SC
