#753: Battlefront

This Comic's Storylines:

As the comment on the comic implies, what I wanted to create with this battle was something more akin to a tactical RPG. We've had a lot of standard RPG battles (and even a time or two in a battle arena), but tactical RPGs are a different beast, and I wanted to at least get a bit of the feel for them (the huge numbers, that opposing units) in this series.
The way I look at it, I've managed to parody every other type of RPG I can think of, so why not throw in tactical RPGs while I'm at it?
 
    

When evil spreads across the land, and darkness rises and the monsters roam. When the creatures of the night make beautiful music, and the things that go bump in the night go bump with greater enthusiasm. When the world is in peril and is in need of a hero...

These guys are, sadly, the best the world can hope for. These are the adventures of the heroes of CVRPG. They mean well, they try hard, and occasionally they do the impossible...

They actually do something heroic.
