Uh Freddie's plan of having mixed units on the field is essentially the arrangement of the Spanish Tercio which was very effective up until guns became more refined.
To some extent, but they were large units and the ratio was 8:2 (pikemen to arquebusiers) and were organized into companies, as opposed to 1:1:1 in small units. But yeah, I love it.

"So, there is a dragon, an Ancient Gold Dragon, and there would be a powerful item to control it." I swear, if that's a DnD movie reference, I'm going to marry this cast. Also, Scam Likely's reveal was masterful, I... I can't.
This is incredible. The tactics and careful avoidance of doing the adventure even if it would be much more thematically and narratively satisfying or even tactically a better idea (because another idea “seems better” even if it’s not) is exactly how D&D normally plays out, especially in mass combat.
Guys...ive never played dnd but am loving listening to your adventures!! Youve made me cry with laughter and you just nearly made me cry with the demise of scam likely!
obviously you should pick the scam kind. climb your way up the ranks of the scam underworld until you're second only to scam likely himself, at which point you fight him as the final boss
I need a fan art or spin-off of the mercs hearing the dads story and, like scam, trying to figure out who the purple robe guys are with Benedict always in the background Spoiler for the ep Rip you legend your tale will be sung in taverns across all the forgotten realms
Oh God I just realized I'm like Henry because I created my own DnD game with the my boys titled after my last name. It's just DnD, no need for compliments and chores

I feel so bad for Anthony this episode. He planned out an entire castle encounter and the dads spent the whole time avoiding it!
I mean, they saw impossible odds and found a way to make it possible, seems pretty smart to me
Yeah, cus they would have died and the podcast would be over.
Freddie weaponizing the specific shape the Pyramid ended on during the craze/bit of last episode is such an Editor move :')

I hope that someday when anthony gets a scam call that he just busts out his scam likely persona.

So the glory of Mr.Mustache begins
not ron getting an emotional support mustache i love this
I swear to doodle that if the purple cloaked figure turns out to be scam likely I will persue a life of crime I am not sure what kind yet but I will
I may or may not regret what I said
My bet is that they're the wives, or at least versions of
For a while I was betting on the kids (Grant and/or Terry Jr. specifically), but as of now everything's on the table.
My guess (though I’m still going through it) is that it’s the dads’… dads. Basically the grand dads of the missing kids.
obviously you should pick the scam kind. climb your way up the ranks of the scam underworld until you're second only to scam likely himself, at which point you fight him as the final boss
I have to know if anthony planned that mustache to be a symbiote or if that was improv that was wild.
I was wondering the same thing! Great either way.
the orb of dragon-kind is my favorite marcy playground song
The one time they really want it to be a scam...
Omg they predicted Apple moving to USB C
I need a fan art or spin-off of the mercs hearing the dads story and, like scam, trying to figure out who the purple robe guys are with Benedict always in the background
Spoiler for the ep
Rip you legend your tale will be sung in taverns across all the forgotten realms
Rest well my sweet scammer
Whenever I hear the "Scam Likely" voice the character I see in my mind is "Jeremy Hillary Boob PhD." from The Beatles Yellow Submarine animated film.
