You set up camp and await the bandits.

After a few days of waiting, the scouts report that the bandit army is on its way! Soon you can hear their horns ringing through the morning fog.
The scouts report that the bandits have more cavalry than you, though they possess little by way of heavy infantry.
Time to draw the lines of battle!

A-Strong center, weak flanks. Heavy infantry will stand in the center, screened by footsoldiers, with the cavalry prepared to charge forwards and break their lines.
B-Balanced formation. Footsoldiers and heavy infantry will stand together, forming a strong center, with cavalry acting as a screening force.
C-Weak center, strong flanks. Footsoldiers will be flanked by heavy infantry, with the cavalry divided over each flank.

[Weirdsound]

They have more horses than solid infantry. They will want to flank us. Anticipate this.

A, with horsemen being behind the main force. infantry should make a shield-and-pike wall along all sides, with especial focus to the larger groups of cavelry while our archers pick off troops. After balking their charge, have our cavelry swoop in and cause some more chaos.

Well. Only three votes total, of which 2 for C. I could wait for more input... but the title says 'Spam', sooo

You deploy your soldiers on the slopes of the hill. They barely have time to get into position before the bandit army is upon them!

Left flank: 6*
Center: 2*
Right flank: 7*

As the bandit army approaches, the cavalry splits from the main force and charges at the flanks. Too late they realise their mistake, as their horses dash themselves against the halberds and shields of your steadfast heavy infantry. The survivors flee, but are run down by your own cavalry, and wiped out almost to a man.
Meanwhile, the center performs less well. Still bewildered by the speed of the enemy attack, the disorganised lines crumble in the face of the bandit's furious charge, and heavy casualties are inflicted upon the defenders.

Center: 4*

But now the heavy infantry on the flanks swing round, encircling the bandit army. Though the fight is tough, eventually you attain the upper hand, and the bandit army begins to retreat. A lieutenant asks if they should organise a pursuit.

A-Chase after them!
B-Reorganise our own forces first, then pursue.
C-Let them run.

Either way, there are captives to deal with. It's your call what to do with them.

A-Kill them all! No mercy!
B-Offer them a place in your army. Kill those who refuse.
C-Offer them a place in your army. Let those who refuse go (after taking away their weapons and armour).

You order your forces to ride down the enemy!

The mists clear just in time for the fleeing bandits to realise that they have been surrounded by your cavalry. Penned in, not one of them escapes.

Hundreds of captives are at your mercy. Too bad for them that you have none today. Your soldiers cheer when you announce that the men who slew their comrades will pay the ultimate price.
You take the life of the enemy leader yourself. A tall, scarred man wearing an ostentatious helmet, he spits at you, cursing when he realises he has been defeated by a woman. You deprive him of his head.

One of your commanders points out that many footsoldiers were slain or injured during the battle. Your army is looking a little threadbare at the moment.

A-Set up camp, let the injured rest, and send a request for reinforcements to Kralicanev.
B-Round up some local peasants and press them into service.
C-We'll be fine. Continue the campaign!
D-Then let's conclude the campaign here, and go home. (Leads to options on how to conclude the campaign)

A, unless we eliminated the bandits completely, in which case D

[Weirdsound]

B. They will be our subjects one day soon anyway. Might as well give them a head start.
