Magic Realm - Solo Amazon Playthrough - 2nd Edition Base rules - Days 15-16

First two days of Week 3 of a solo playthrough of the classic Avalon Hill boardgame, Magic Realm. If you were surprised there was only one combat in the first two weeks of the game, get ready for a full out brawls in this one! Things take a turn! There is an error at 16:20 which I correct after the jump edit at 23:30.
This is NOT intended to be a tutorial video (though I will be doing some explanations as I go). To learn how to play Magic Realm, I cannot recommend strongly enough this video playthrough by Jean-Michel Grosjeu: • Magic Realm, full rule... Not only is it the best tutorial series for Magic Realm, it also covers, with the exceptions of the changes for solo play, the ruleset I will be using in this playthrough.

There is an error at 16:20 that I correct right after the jump edit at 23:30. I forget to apply the loss of one sharpness star to my attacker's weapon because of my armor which would reduce the destruction of my armor to just damaging it. It's fixed before the end of the video.
Nice big example of combat in this one at least.

Which Character would you say is the easiest to play? I assume the ones with magic are the most difficult?

@@kevinerskine3299 The Amazon, the White Knight is good too. He does have one Spell but he's still easy to use. The Berserker, the Swordsman, the Woods Girl (don't even worry about her one Spell). also the Captain. He's like a slower Amazon but has more friends so he can buy his way to success.
Don't start with a heavy magic user, the Dwarf, the Black Knight who is not great at solo play for beginners.
Those are what I would recommend.
