Err, why do we want these lands we just pillaged?

C because... i just threw a dice here and ignored the number 4 although i always thought A better.

I don't think we do o_O
I just saw people going yes with 'kill off the army' and the vote was made.

[NUKE9.13]

You have your heavies and cavalry take the center as you charge up the hill.

Left flank: 4*
Center: 3*
Right flank:3*

The enemy has deployed their heavy infantry to the left, whilst their light cavalry charge from the right. Your troops spot this in time, and adopt the necessary tactics to deal with it, overcoming the heavy infantry and driving them back, whilst at least weathering the charge of their cavalry. Their center is weak, but their troops are resolute, presenting a wall of spears to your cavalry, who are forced to back off, whilst your heavy infantry, tired from charging up a hill, are unable to make a dent in their formation.

We are at a disadvantage on both flanks, my Lady. Perhaps your personal intervention is needed?

A-The left flank needs my aid!
B-The right flank needs my aid!
C-I shall help the center to punch through!
D-Nah.

Charge!

Left flank: 3*
Center: 2*
Right flank: 0*

Disaster! Not even your personal intervention is enough to overcome the enemy's stoic heavy infantry on the left flank, though you lose little ground. The worse news is in the center, where the enemy spearmen performed a well-executed advance, pushing your forces back and delivering casualties to both your heavies and cavalry. The worst news is in the right flank, which has been all but wiped out! Only a few footsoldiers survived thanks to their armour, and they are fleeing down the hill, the rest having been slaughtered by their cavalry.

You are quickly losing this battle. Perhaps now would be a good time to call a retreat?

A-NEVER!!
B-You may be right. Issue an order for an orderly retreat, with our cavalry covering us.
C-RUN AWAY! Every man (or woman) for themselves!!

A, DEATH OR GLORY!

B, we have walls for a reason.

[NUKE9.13]

You sound the retreat.

3*

Even that goes poorly, and it is only thanks to the enemy's reluctance to chase after you that you don't lose more troops in the disorganised retreat... or rather, the rout.

You return to your camp substantially fewer than you left. Several commanders suggest it is high time to go home and rest, before your army is totally wiped out.

A-No, we continue the campaign! I don't care if every last one of you has to die!
B-Yeah, we should go home. Start marching west.

B, we got the loot we came for, and we need to resupply and recruit after that rout.

The injured all but outnumber the healthy as you march homewards. As you turn in your saddle to look back to the east, you are suddenly overcome by a feeling that you narrowly avoided a terrible fate.
You reach the fords without incident, and from there the city is but a short march away.


Summer, 3 PC

Warm sunlight bathes the streets of Kralicanev as your troops march in through the gate. The gathered crowds are somewhat taken aback by the number of injured or missing soldiers, but then somewhat eager to see the cartloads of loot that follow them. The treasurer is particularly happy to see them, and quickly squirrels the most precious items into the vault.

Congratulations! Queen Erin has completed a campaign. Due to the mixed success, it shall be known as the Usyan Plains Foray

No sooner have you stripped off your armour and reclined on your throne than the Advisor appears.

"Several matters require your attention, my Queen. Your commanders notify you that they will require at least a season's rest for the injured to return to duty, and request permission to start drafting citizens to make up lost numbers. What shall I tell them?"

A-Yes, I need to replenish my forces. The people shall do their duty.
B-We need more soldiers, but I only want volunteers.
C-They will have to make do with what they have.

"Very good, Dragonslayer. Another matter for your attention is a number of petitioners who are gathered in the antechamber. The Architect is here with a new proposal, and the Armoursmith has heard of your recent windfall and comes to offer his services. Lastly, there is a strange man, who arrived a week ago on a large cart, escorted by a bodyguard of half a dozen knights. He refuses to say what he wants to any but the Queen herself. Who shall you speak to first, if any?"

A-Intriguing! Send in the mystery man.
B-Excellent. Send in the Architect.
C-Fantastic. send in the Armoursmith.
D-Bah. Send them all away.
