@evilcherry
Unless you specify coordinates I'll be assuming you mean "beeline the enemy".
In which case on next turn you'll be at 7,2.

Actually after thinking for a moment...

Instead of gaining height fast, move close to the ground, using foilage in front as cover. Everyone move to 7,2. Debris for bombing ready.

Be ready to counter any attempt of enemy avians gaining height by matching movement.
We have an advantage of 25 meters after all; The enemy have little ground-based AA so we will be fine.

Move two squares forward for everyone, axes at the front with the squad shield. Bows will see about shooting down any enemy that gets too close with emphasis on enemy fliers.

In retrospect using photoshop for this was probably not the smartest move.

Unbridged Fords, Rolling Kegs, and Serrated Knives are to move to 6,7, and hide themselves as well as they can. Hidden Brambles and Mocking Ravens are to move to 6,8, and hide themselves as well as they can. We will ambush the enemy soon, do not worry.

@Elephant Parade
Hehehe  :D
Wizards are not allowed for this battle (subsequent battles are wizard-able)
You'll be deployed at 9,4 after Wednesday's turn.

Your squad makeup is:
Avian Attackers: 5 pro, 1 militia
Mighty Mammoths: 8 pro, 2 militia
Aerial Archers: 22 pro
Stupendous Stampeders: 6 pro, 1 militia
Winged Warriors: 3 pro, 1 militia
Lemme know if you want to change some things.

@Rolepgeek
Better hope Mick's squad holds firm 'cuz...uh...things are gonna get dicey as fuck next turn.

Mighty Mammoths: 10 pro
Aerial Archers: 10 pro
Stupendous Stampeders: 5 pro, 5 militia
Winged Warriors: 10 pro

Nah, you have 22 archers and 22 spearmen (and...6...militia. I goofed by 1. bummers).

So all your archers went into your archer squad.

If you really want your archers to moonlight as spearmen they'll be counted as militia instead of pro.

Hmm. Any way I could make some archers into spearmen? Training after this battle, perhaps?

Avian Attackers: 8 pro
Mighty Mammoths: 3 militia, 5 pro
Aerial Archers: 22 pro
Stupendous Stampeders: 3 militia, 5 pro
Winged Warriors: 7 pro

@Elephant Parade
I'm planning on redrawing some rules after this combat (streamline, removing some unnecessary complication, etc) so yeah.
Your final tally is also 53 instead of 50.

Don't like throwing things out earlier than they should, but eventual battles will be "You levy units from the entire city" as opposed to "just your party" with your party of spearmen acting as...loyal teachers? There's still some rough edges to work out but overall it'll work like that.

Move to 5,3; if not OK 5,2. We'll spring from the woods.

Can the title be changed to Let's Build Things? The lack of capitalization has been driving me nuts.

Ah. I thought that might be the case. I shall begin suggesting names.

Civilization? (Too generic.)
Settlers?
