A Fiery Introduction!

This is the start of my part of the TV Tropes Fire Emblem Draft competition! This little game consists of six people consecutively choosing characters to use in a file. After a character is chosen, they cannot be used by anyone else. The six people (Barrylocke, Hnd 03, Jonnas N, Xiphonii, Montagohalcyon, and myself) each chose our six units to use in Hector Normal Mode, and now we all play through the game, putting little reviews of the chapters either into personal liveblogs, such as this one, or into reviews on the Fire Emblem Draft topic. The characters I've drafted are:

Hector (usable by everyone)

Rebecca

Lowen

Dorcas

Raven

Jaffar

Renault

Athos (usable by everyone)

Matthew can be used by everyone for thief based purposes, but can't fight, and Legault is allowed to steal one certain item in the map he joins on. Otherwise, there is a +4 turn penalty if you use an undrafted character to fight. Marcus can be used by everyone up until chapter 15.

We then go through the game and compete to see who can get the lowest total turn count in all of the chapters. We will all go through all of the Gaiden chapters except for 23x and 19xx, and while 28x is necessary to do, it does not count towards our turn count.

I've made my tactician, named simply Alfric, and with a Fire affinity. I will get the first episode up shortly.

Does the game not count an extra turn if all enemies are dead, or if you killed the boss on the final turn? I thought it was the latter, but maybe I'm wrong.

Oh well, if my turncounts on defense chapters are wrong I'll check the epilogue...

I'm not sure about the latter, but I killed everyone by turn 5 or 6, so I had a few spare turns. I don't think I got 8 simply because it didn't reenter my turn like it usually does when it ends with enemies on the field, simply ending when I hit End on turn 7. I ay be wrong though.
