RULES
Action time!
Same as last time, everything goes except surrender (that would be cheating)
For the record "abandon the walls" is a valid strategy. You only "lose" if the town center is burned down or captured (the man paying you is dead if that happens, so...)
-MOAR FLUFF-
Pretty pretty picture
Note: Nothing is to scale.
Houses imply more residential in that zone than shops.
Shops are the opposite.
Markets are stalls.
Objective is the Town Center.
Town density: Low. Everything is a zone with lots of paths between buildings and dead end paths.
Friendly unit placements:
On the Walls: Light Ranged groups A,B
Near the gate: Light Melee C,D,E. Heavy Melee A,B,C.
Arriving at gate: Light Ranged groups C and D. Heavy Melee D. Light Melee F and G.
Enemy Placements:
4 Heavy Melee in the gate area. 2 Heavy Melee running from gate area.
8 Light Melee on the walls.
6 Light Range outside the walls.
Friendly Morale: Dropping. (Facing professionals, Taking losses)
Enemy Morale: Even. (Facing Ragtag bunch, Routed friends)
Other:
A friendly army is marching to the town. It will arrive in 1 turns. (Reminder: friendly units arriving is not the same as a victory condition)
It is now Noon.

Arbitrary headcount is maxed.
What should you do?God this goes so much faster when I stop caring about numbers.
Changes: Instead of an idiotically specific numbers thing, we now use relative unit stength (Where Strong is the full or almost full squad, Moderate is roughly half a squad killed, and so on) and morale checks are more important.
Include a new stance with your next action ordersWeapon types are now done (I'm using not-placeholders for equipment now) so. Answer the following question: When faced with an attacker do you fight it or evade?EDIT
Forgot a few things:
Turn resolves on Tuesday or if everyone submits their action early.
