What happened to the raids, weren't we going to counter-attack and grab some land as reparation?

[Taricus]

B, since we can repair family ties and make the kingdom greater again!

Besides, we'll need time to reform the army.

[Haspen]

You send her a reply.

Week later she writes you a longer letter in which she details your the situation; the Kingdoms of Ruz and Tven, two of four minor nations that helped her mother during Luathbas Civil War by supplying mercenaries, are now plotting to form an alliance and then do some land-grabbing.

Your cousin, or rather, her husband, wouldn't like it to happen, and her husband therefore offers to stage a pincer attack; Luathbas strikes and absorbs Tven, that is the more southern of the two, and forces of Sela's husband, King of Dahnia, would do the same with Ruz.

She writes that time is of the essence; she needs to have your reply, and, your army, by the summer.

The previous raids by some northerners give you a reason to attack the two kingdoms... Kinda.

A) Agree to this cooperative venture and order the Army to march against Tven.
B) Reject her invitation and forget the whole matter.
C) Reject her invitation... and accidentally have her letter sent to one of your minor nobles that by pure coincidence has a wife from Ruz.

[NRDL]

We don't really have anything to gain by screwing her over, we succeed in this pincer, assuming she's genuine about just wanting military aid and not trying to manipulate us into overextending ourselves, we could have a nice sort-of family ally.

A.  If the die shall be cast, hope it's good.

[Maegil]

A

We're not the aggressor, we're just helping a relative in pre-empting an attack against countries which were already unfriendly to us... Yes, that spin seems good enough.

[Swordstar]

C

[Elephant Parade]

A. This is fair, unless she's lying about their plans.

[Haspen]

You reply that you shall help her!

The advisor coughs.

"Are you going to take part in the campaign yourself, my liege?"

A) *unsheathe your sword and hold it aloft* THOU SHALT TAKETH A GUESS!!
B) Nah.

[Swordstar]

A!

[Maegil]

A! *big slasher grin*

[Haspen]

"Per of course, my dear advisor!!"

Unfortunately due to your army being half-organized at the moment, you cannot deploy way till it is very Late Spring.


Congratulations! Houlandin III has embarked upon his first Military Campaign!

851 AD, Summer

Week later, your army finally steps into Tvenian soil! The scouts report a singular fort, Kuvec Keep, is watching the valley connecting Luathbas to Tven and other northern lands.

A messenger from your cousin brings a letter; Sela have already begun conquest of Ruz and is on to meet their forces in the field.

The next day, as your army approaches the keep, the scouts bring that large contingent of Tvenian army is approaching from the north; it's comprised mostly of archers, especially longbowmen, with small supporting numbers of spearmen and light cavalry.

A) March toward the army; once we vanquish it, we can ponder what to do next!
B) Besiege the keep and send our own horsemen to deal with the approaching footsoldiers.

Lots of longbows? They can be tricky... It looks like a good day for shield walls anvils and pincer cavalry hammers.
