You decide to not sleep with her anymore to ensure no further children will be conceived.

880 AD, Autumn

And so it begins.

An exhausted messenger was brought to your study. He reports that Damdamian forces have crossed the border; half of the force, mostly foot soldiers with siege weapons, have laid siege to three border outposts, splitting themselves up. However, there's also a large unit of about 2000 light and heavy cavalry that is rampaging north of the border, sacking villages on their way northwards!

"My liege! Time to defend our nation! Will you lead us to glory?"

A) Naaah.
B) ABSOLUTELY!!

[Taricus]

B, WE WILL BURY THEM AND THEIR FALSE GOD!

[NUKE9.13]

In this, what might be the most important war of our reign- more important than the crushing of Parsia, more important than skirmishes with horse-archers- we need every edge we can get. Our presence will inspire the conscripts to greater deeds.
To war!

The only way we can guarantee that the army sticks to the plan is if we lead it.

You hold aloft your magic knife and say: "BY THE POWER OF-"

...

"HOULANDIN!!"


Congratulations! Feodh has embarked upon a Military Campaign! During its duration all political events will be solved by the Advisor and Queen Elana.


You march with your soldiers south, to gather at House of Lech.

One day away from it, you get update on the situation at the border.

"Sire, one of the border outposts fell and it has become a base to Damdamian supplies and flow of soldiers into Luathbas." Explains the Marshal, and then adds: "The cavalry unit is making steady pillaging progress, although rather than concentrate on the areas near the border, they're continuing northwards. Within a day they should be near House of Lech, if the scouts are correct."

A) "Must be Wrexus Magnibus on his crazy run for our capital. Onwards, we will meet him, kill him and end this campaign within a week!!"
B) "Let's make haste to House of Lech to gather forces and supplies, and see what the Damdamian cavalry does in the meanwhile!"

[NUKE9.13]

Well. I mean. The element of surprise and all that. We'd kind of lose that if they see us gathering forces at our fortress. Even though it seems anti-climatic to end the war so soon, that's the whole point of this plan. For Luathbas, charge! Cut 'em off from their reinforcements and kill that governor!

E: Lets not do that

[Harry Baldman]

B, meeting him in the field isn't the plan at all!

[Taricus]

A Let's rend the bastard limb from limb!

[Kashyyk]

B

The plan is to let him overextend himself, that doesn't mean offering battle at the first opportunity.

Gotta follow the plan!

[NUKE9.13]

Yeah, after thinking about it some more, it seems like 'following the plan' involves letting them go past the House of Lech. This still isn't an optimal course of action- ideally we would find somewhere along the road to the capital where we could lay an ambush or something, but we'll just have to settle for

You order soldiers to gather at House of Lech - preparation for siege being given reason. Four thousand thus gather at House of Lech, about thousand on horses.

Three days later your scouts bring you two pieces of news: the southern part of invading army has regrouped and is marching for the House of Lech, presumably to besiege it. The cavalry have evaded the fortress easternly and is now pillaging its way towards the capital!

You decide to...

A) Leave most of the gathered forces at House of Lech to repel the siege and attack the raiders with your own mounted units only.
B) Take about half your forces and march upon the two thousand horsemen from behind.
C) Leave only a small garrison at House of Lech and then smash into the Damdamian cavalry from behind, crushing them in one strike.
