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.

[Maxinum McDreich]

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.

[Ashsaber]

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

Battlefield, turn 2

Do you like the awesome marks I made for Rolep's units?
(Yeah ask when you're finished being confused. )

What happened

Friendly

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Mick unit - Moved forward while hiding behind the monstrosity that is the squad shield. A few people tripped because giant shield.
    Bow squads - prepared against air units   
    Axe units - arg this shield is heavy 
 Kwaa-Naa unit - half flew, half walked towards the slightly more heavily wooded area and stayed concealed. _{why did I type
confused}. Also their unarmed units are now carrying slightly overlarge boulders.
    Non-bombers - Why don't we get to fly already 
    bombers - I wish we had gloves 
 Rolep unit - split into three and advanced while concealed. The fact that goblins are rather short helps.
    Everyone - grass is too high/too low/too ticklish (some combination of the three) 

Enemy

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 All units - moved forward in a large and not really cohesive mass. Lots of swearing at the dude with the journal for organizing this.
 Dude with journal is not remotely sorry.
 Land units - Elves are wary, being more forest savvy than the rest.
 Avian units - Either on the ground or flying slightly above the troops.
 All units have sighted Mick's unit

Condition changes
All units on field
  Slight morale bonus: Anticipation
  Slight fatigue decrease: Exercise

Mick unit: Men: 50, Morale: 51, Stamina: 99
Kwaa unit: Men: 50, Morale: 51, Stamina: 99
Rolep unit: Men: 30, Morale: 51, Stamina: 99
As a benchmark: under 20 morale = about to break, under 25 morale = exhausted.

The equipment shown is at least 50% of their gear. Meaning that bow squad might have lancers too.
Because

[Rolepgeek]

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.

[Ashsaber]

@Elephant Parade
Hehehe 
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.

[Elephant Parade]

Hm... first things first, Avian Archers was supposed to be third priority. I think I messed up.
Avian Attackers: 10 pro
Mighty Mammoths: 10 pro
Aerial Archers: 10 pro
Stupendous Stampeders: 5 pro, 5 militia
Winged Warriors: 10 pro

[Ashsaber]

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.

[Elephant Parade]

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

[Ashsaber]

@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.}

[evilcherry]

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

[Ashsaber]

@evilcherry
It's perfectly Ok.
_{Hehehehe -cough- uh.}

[Elephant Parade]

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

[Ashsaber]

@Elephant Parade
I shall not tolerate your emphasis on CaPiTaLiZaTiOn! _{god that was hard to type}

(It's largely a placeholder title for something more...I dunno, relevant?)

[Elephant Parade]

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

Civilization? (Too generic.)
Settlers?
