B!

[Haspen]

You attempt to turn the tide of battle with glorious charge!

3*

You don't go far before some Eist horseman scores a hit on your side and sends you flying to the ground!

...

You wake up, surrounded by your officers and few healers. You're alive, but your lower body is bandaged, and it hurts a bit. You ask how the battle went.

"Sadly, we lost, my liege!" One of higher ranked officers shakes his head. "We lost a third of our numbers and were forced to flee west. We managed to extract you from the field of battle, and your minor wound has been already taken care of by our healers."

"Those besieging Tagar retreated and joined with us once they got news of our defeat and the mercenaries approach. City of Tagar is now much better garissoned than before and got fresh supplies." You decide to...

A) Order your forces to regroup and resume the siege of the fortified city.
B) Order your forces to retreat to the borderlands of the Duchy, and send to the palace for reinforcements.
C) Order your forces to bypass Tagar and go north to besiege smaller but less important cities.

[helmacon]

They are fortified with dwarves and thier magic now. Sieging would be a very bad idea.

Let's go with C.

(that was both the luckiest and unluckiest sting of rolls i've ever seen. Constant 1's, except when we needed to stay alive.)

Edit, B. my choice is B

They don't have mages with them. To be repeated as an important note.

Because these seem like the mercantile arm considering heavy armor/arms.

Also if we bypass a city, aren't we stretching our supply lines?
A seems the better course though, since we can hit people with siege weapons. ...I think that's right >_>
But now I'm unsure.

Ah. Hmm. Well.
Rather than trying to besiege a city that resisted us for many months without a whole bunch of extra soldiers and supplies, or trying to besiege other cities whilst an army that defeated us once lurks behind us, we should do the sensible thing and resupply ourselves.

B

[omada]

Damn. We couldn't be lucky forever.

B

[Prophet]

B Well that was certainly worrying. I guess the best thing to do now is regroup and prepare to try to siege Tagar again?

[Haspen]

You march your army west into the borderlands of the Duchy, while a mesenger is sent for reinforcements.

969 AD, Late Summer

The messenger returns!

2

With no army; the population is riled up recently and the prospect of joining the Army was met with defiance which the court couldn't allow to blow up. Only few dozens of palace guards arrived with the messenger.

You hold a council during which you decide to...

A) Send most of Army to besiege Tagar.
B) Keep the Army resting and resupplying while you visit nearby cities in search for volunteers.
C) Besiege a nearby small settlement under control of Eist, as there are many settlements to choose from.
D) March northeast and attempt to join with your senior, in hopes of gaining some glory at the siege of Eist capital.

[Tiruin]

All these horribad rolls :v
Things will look up SOMEDAY :I

B

Can't effectively wage war if you can't effectively war.
Also our King is in the Capital anyway so we're just recuperating our losses and all.
Wait a minute. They'll probably consolidate at the capital.

D

[helmacon]

naw, our job was put pressure on them from down here. If we retreat back to our king it just encourages a final showdown at the gates of thier capital. I say C. We can still put some pressure on them this way, maybe get some loot and regain our strength.

[NUKE9.13]

With 'many' settlements to choose from, we can surely choose one that doesn't leave us open to being outflanked by the dwarves and mercenaries. Let's do it.
