In phase six, Warthanger's Raiders change formation and are then able to advance only 9 cm. If the goblins had been tribesmen instead of Raiders, the change of formation would have used up their entire move and left them unable to advance that turn.

On the next turn he may either expend all his normal airborne move to climb to Flight Height, or fly up to 60 cms in any direction at Combat Height. In fact, having passed his Order Test, he is ordered to climb to Flight Height so he can note the positions of enemy troops, and try to spot any that might be hidden behind buildings, woods or hills. On the following turn, Gripnir flies in the direction of a warband of goblins, who seem a good target to attack. On the fourth turn of flight, he is within charge distance of the goblins, who are 35 cm away. (Gripnir's airborne charge move is 80 cm, half of which is lost diving, but that still leaves him with 40 cm of movement to fly directly over the hapless goblins).

Who have bravely or rashly (depending on whether you are a goblin about to be incinerated or not) passed the charge Morale Test and stood their ground. In phase eight Gripnir breathes fire over the goblins, who once again, miraculously pass their Morale Test, and in phase nine Gripnir swoops into combat.

Once again, he passes his Morale Test, but this time the goblins fail their test and rout. No doubt roundly cursing Kernabog as they scatter, for allowing Gripnir to pick on them.
