It's called agent stomping and it's an exploit. The only reason to do it is to push someone off a river crossing/bridge, leaving a unit there, and preventing the agent from gaining access to that part of the map. Btw, nice turnaround time. Did you have to sub again, or did BlackWolf play?
Edit: as long as you didn't block the crossing and I was moved just a bit.

I pushed your spy on purpose and did block the crossing on purpose so that your spy wouldn't be able to cross.
Agent stomping is to actually kill the agent, right? Not sure if I actually broke a rule here.
I will ofc replay if this is not allowed.
Sooo allowed or not?

I thought agent stomping meant exactly what you did. Even if it refers to something else, I think what you did is not a fair play at all and gives you an unfair advantage for this turn.
It is a dirty move I agree, but if I am allowed to do it I will. Every little thing counts. I VM:d the admins about it.
I am fairly certain that it is allowed as long as you did not kill the agent. Not normally a big thing here but is in WTW where there are more armies and less space, and there it has always been as long as you do not kill them. There was one time where some one backed an agent into a corner of forest and then blocked their way out with armies and it was still allowed so this should be
I still want a confirmation on that from the admin for future sake. However, I played my turn cause this time it did not matter that much.

This day will be remembered by all the Rohirrim as the day of great bravery, perseverance, and an uncanny amount of pure brilliance on the battlefield from generals, captains, and soldiers alike. The wizard Saruman came forth with a small force threatening the small villages of the Westfold, but he was dismayed and eventually defeated by an army led by the king himself, Thengel. Yet, despite the victory over Saruman, Thengel and his men did not feel relieved. The king already heard news of armies led by Ugluk that would wipe Rohan off the face of Middle-Earth. The king decided to act swiftly and wage battle with the filthy spawn of Isengard and sent word to all the generals to assemble their forces. Erkenbrand was to lead the charge in this seemingly hopeless struggle.
Yet, despite the odds being greatly against the Rohirrim, they did not give up hope and smashed into the lines of the Uruk-Hai and evil men of Dunland. The battle was very even and it was long until one side emerged victorious. It was Rohan and their great swordsmanship that tipped the scale on their side. Ugluk was forced to retreat to Isengard, where Saruman awaited him, tending to his wounds. The wizard was furious as the day did not turn out at all as he planned. Many valiant Rohan soldiers died that day, including Leofara the Courageous, but now the future looked very bright for Rohan.
Thanks! I think my advantage here was that you did not have a spy and couldn't tell if any of my generals had additional movement points. I lucked out with just the right amount of range on everything and I somehow cracked the AR, although it was hard as hell! Especially the last battle.
