Kyle nods.
"Aye."
And then he goes to get ready.

[Ghazkull]

((okay since you all seem to tread on the same place, let me give some direction. If you want to land or really do anything BOLD the action. Specify a Landing Spot ala:
Land directly North of Kol'Thelos, preferably at night))

[3man75]

Land 2 hexes away from kol thelos (assuming that's near enough to Waylay caravans but not have to fight guards).

We will work away the enemies food supplies and prosperity. Hopefully the king will take care of the rest.

[kj1225]

Give a speech to the men.

[zacen299]

Land one hex south of Kok'Theos. With aforementioned units.

[Nerjin]

Land as close as possible to Kok'Theos

[Ghazkull]

Kyle

You give a speech to the men.

Javier

[2] Your landing north of the City goes not unnoticed. Well...landing in broad daylight never goes. [4] The moment you disembark you notice that a Local Lord is approaching with Three Regiments on Foot. It is too late to run away or turn around. What are your battle orders?

King Adam

[1] The size of your Armada didn't go unnoticed. In fact days before your landing you spot boats in the Distance. You are already greeted by an impressive army upon landing. Seems like somebody was prepared.

Choose twenty out of your regiments for the battle and then give battle orders.

Hrothgar
landing together with King Adam was a bad idea. Waiting for your men to disembark you have to watch helplessly as the Kings Tactical Genius or lack thereof decide over your fate.

EDIT: Please note that battles are run in real-time and thus you have to give orders beforehand. The more detailed your battle plan (the more failsafes it contains) the better. I will act them out as best as possible.

[kj1225]

Wait until night. Then land two hexes to the north of Kol'Thelos so as to be able to attack in a pincher formation with the good king.

[zacen299]

Wait before I give orders what are they made of? Infantry, Calvary, Archers or a mix of the three?

[Ghazkull]

It's the usual build up of Thelossian Nobility, supported by peasantry and spear militias and a group of Plains Mercenaries.

[Wwolin]

That spymaster could probably use a bit of muscle to back him up...

Arrive to help Javier

Spoiler: Battle Plan (click to show/hide)

Have the religious fanatics take the front lines, and try to intimidate the enemy with their numbers and fanatical bloodlust. If the enemy turns to flee, run them down with the mounted crusaders. If they stay and fight, then have the fanatics encircle them and use their superior numbers to our advantage. Have the crusaders go after anyone who tries to flee. If the enemy actually musters up the nerve to charge, have the fanatics stand shoulder to shoulder to prevent any enemies from slipping through, and have the crusaders head around behind the enemy troops and herd them into the horde of fanatics.

whoa whoa whoa.

I'm looking for guirila tactics and trying to scare traders from going into the city not going on a full fledged battlefield. GM am i missing some game rules?

[Ghazkull]

you are missing that an army is currently attacking you and Wwolin cant help you in time.

[zacen299]

Okay well I'm going to deploy

-My Personal Guard
-7 Regiments of Spearmen
-2 Companies of Mailed Knights
-3 Regiments of Pikemen
-3 Regiments of Baldelaar Militia
-4 Regiments of Goedendag Militia

Spoiler: BattlePlans (click to show/hide)

Begin by forming up my Spear and Pikemen as the front of my army (with a regiment of spearmen on both sides to guard the flanks) with the Baldelaar and Goedendag and my Personal Guard behind them have 1 of the cavalry watching both flanks. Wait for them to charge us and use the spearmen to bog down infantry and use the pikemen to bring down any cavalry. After they have hit us, and when the spearmen and pikemen need to be pulled out switch with the militia and go on the offensive. If they start falling back use the two cavalry to harass the enemy while the militia follow.

If at any point they break our lines bring the cavalry to attack them from behind while the militia and my guard hold their attention and if there are any spearmen or pikemen left use them to flank the enemy if they can disengage.

Balls I don't think thats a great plan and we might be in a bit of trouble.

[3man75]

ahh my idiocy...it will never stop to amaze me.

Okay Battle-plan: Form up 3 companies of Brigands to team up together facing the enemy. 1 unit of Assassins behind the Brigands line all of which face the enemy who's attacking.

The last company of Assassins will go for a flank and remain undetected until they can find and kill the enemy lord with a quick guerrilla attack. If successful we'll press with the formation above while the second Assassins group tries to run for cover.

If the second Assassins unit is found out before they can complete their objective they are to fight their way back to the formation.

Summary: brigands all together with one. First Assassins company behind for support. Second Assassins unit for flanking.


My guy will be in the First Assassins company viewing the battle and Dying Fighting gloriously when time comes...which may be soon.


EDIT: what happened to the other 2 guys weren't we 6 in total? An OMG my is going to be giving off a silent prayer.
