Sylvanas hands them out like candy. Did Anduin just assume the Forsaken would honorably opt against using the blight to defend themselves despite being historically prone to using it indiscriminately?
Are you saying that you don’t believe the amount of crap that went with the battle of Lordaeron? Like how Jaina summoned a boat that could fire arcane missiles? You can stand on just the use of gas mask if you want, but even the Horde didn’t have enough for everyone, you spread it as a Horde on your own troops. But there’s a lot there that didn’t make much sense. Sylvanas escape, letting Anduin lead troop with poor leadership, etc. I’m sure if Genn had lead the assault Sylvanas would be dead.
Because the Alliance is dumb.
Exactly, Jaina’s magic boat arrival wasn’t planned and therefore had nothing to do with Anduin’s battle strategy.
Sure gas masks might have been impractical for everyone but they’d have been far better than nothing at all. What was the plan to deal with the inevitable use of the blight then?
Something like shouting “stand as one”. I think it worked in the cinematic. xd
Blame the dwarves, those magnificent beards weren’t going to be sacrificed for some namby-pamby gasmask. And then no one wanted to look bad in front of them.
actually, blizzard is dumb.
they just dont know how to write a good plot anymore.
i mean, they could of used the exodar too wipe out the plague… but nope…
Sorry, only playing the Alliance side for the first time now.
Anduin also essentially accepts they’ll all be killed when Nathanos successfully blockades the entire army trying to get around Lordaeron until Alleria shows up out of nowhere (like Jaina did 5 seconds ago).
Alliance should’ve lost this battle like three times already.
Shamans with powers of air, or gnomish devices to blow the gas away would have worked too.
The Alliance didn’t bring them because the writing is poor. Sorry, it’s just true. If you’re having fun, that’s cool. I like plenty of bad fiction, but I do know it’s bad. Proof is I’ve watched all of The 100. Ew, but it was fun.
: )
I question if gas masks would have been truly helpful. Sure the gas form of blight you are kept safe from but the liquid form of it is basically acid strong enough to melt bones and that is what they were shooting out at the alliance. the horde only had to worry about the fumes.
again, blizzard has bad writing.
before the battle of lordaeron, the alliance should of won easily, considering we have powerful leaders, numerous forces and even a dang space ship that could shoot light infused beams from orbit!
Fair point, but I’d still argue Anduin should’ve anticipated the blight. It’s virtually the Forsaken’s signature weapon. If not gas masks, he should have done something at least.
Anduin Plan’s:
-Get an army, check
-Get to Lordaeron, check
-???
-Win
-Ask heavy questions to Sylvanas to punish her and show her who’s the boss

Because Jaina was meant to nuke the whole city, from her flying pirate ship! whilst alliance was pulling back from being gassed, when it happened.
At least that was the plan, I guess she didnt get the message.
They didn’t bring them because no one knew gas masks work against blight until just then.
Same reason the Vindicaar was apparently out for repairs that day, I’d imagine.
Draenei ships have poor flying records and are grossly overated.
Now if you look at Horde demolishers, those are long range artilleries capable of anything.
Gas masks are for bad guys
technically 2 ships. Fel hammer. If daddy Illidan had to pick a favorite to back in this war…it be the NE DH’s on alliance as I see it. If only because he won’t be shooting at his crush Tyrande. BE’s could come along too…mine would. But yeah that great story said nope. My BE had to go back home to the home that doesn’t really like demon infused blood elves but whatever…
So we’d get the keys to the family car as he left to go on his jailor gig as I see it.
