Good thing we didn't head south, eh, comrades? Amirite? Anyway, what's with all those necromancers?

[Kashyyk]

I love the way that they are ALL Reavers

[NUKE9.13]

Soldiers in combat: Finish combat.
Archers: Long range fire thing at necromancer's expected position
Soldiers not in combat: move South and destroy fallen corpses so the Necromancer can't ambush your archers. Hack off all limbs ect. (Is this allowed?)
Sergeants: Ditto.
You: Move to middle of all your troops.

Why fight? Just run. There's no way we can beat all that. It's a war of attrition, and we're outnumbered by about 40-1 against troops more powerful than ours, that can be resurrected. What's your logic in staying to fight?

You just answered it.

It's a war of attrition

I do not plan on staying to fight. However staying as long as possible allows us to take out as many enemy units as possible. As they have no ranged, this is perfectly safe. Also, if we run and the necromancer raises the fallen behind us, ru-roh, we just got unexpectedly struck in the rear- we are so dead!
As for resurrection- hopefully maiming the corpses enough will make them useless. It is, of course, up to the GM whether such realism is allowed to break the rules.

Incidentally the southern army is most probably an illusion.

Aren't Reavers ranged units? And aren't there about a hundred Reavers on the field?

Not ranged units last time I checked. Big, armourclad monsters with arcing blow, but not ranged, The only ranged 'attack' is the raise dead fallen spell, which is Necromancer exclusive.

[CJ1145]

But we have over a dozen Necromancers approaching us! It's pointless to fight when this outnumbered. We're as good as a resistance group here, and what resistance group do you know that actually fights head-on against the entire enemy army?

Not. Staying. To fight.
Staying. To shoot. At ranged-weaponless enemy.
Also. To kill. Corpses. More.

How's about... since experience isn't incorporated in this game as far as I can tell, we just FINISH THE GODDAMN MISSION ALREADY?!?

Everyone charge. North.

If bowmen can shoot while running, they should do so.

[TheToeBighter98]

Have the Western group of s make a fighting retreat, not fleeing but simply getting closer North while killing Fallen. @ and S stay where they are for now, forming into formation. The b continue north, firing into the Southern group of Fallen approaching our still-fighting s, the Eastern s group can follow and protect the b from harm.

[Asehujiko]

Alright, updatety time. Turn 5

The foremost necromancer ressurects the Reaver corpse as a Fallen in a very lucky roll(considering the distance) but it sort of looses it's effect as it's flattened by the rearguard charging across it(effectively killing it five times over again due to high rolls, that's one unlucky corpse) The other soldiers kill the squad chasing them but loose another, after which they follow the Sergeants in their retreat. The bowmen use their indirect fire against the foremost necromancer, loosing accuracy because of their movement. We arrived at the edge and can make our escape now. Wait for your other troops to arrive?

Notes:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

-Only the most recent kills are shown on the field. Everything that stays after the first turn is important somehow.
-Resurrection has an infinite range but gets exponentially harder as the distance increases. This particular event involved four perfect rolls directly after eachother.

[TheToeBighter98]

Lets just wait for our small band of heroes, and make our retreat. If we have spare time for this, we have the b practice on any Fallen nearby, or the Necromancer.

[NUKE9.13]

Yeah, wait, bowmen perform indirect fire on foremost necromancer again.

[Kashyyk]

Once everybody is lined up at the edge we all leave. No living man gets left behind.

[inaluct]

I agree. We'll wait.

[andrea]

i owuld suggest regrouping at edge, with S and s outside, bowmen inside and in the inner block @. packed formation.

then indirect fire on the center of the map. it is quite crowded there.

wait for the rest of the army, then see what can be done, then retreat.

if things go bad, just retreat since we are at edge
