[Draignean]

Send following message to Ashfire outpost in addition to previous action, encrypt as a discussion of a planned arranged marriage.

Spoiler: Letter (click to show/hide)

Pasha Dolgorouki,

I have recieved word of trouble in Scuvne, Lord Bareome has been driven from the city and into the forest. My forces are occupied in the south and I cannot afford to delay action until I return to my citadel. I hereby give you authorization to withdraw what supplies you deem necessary from Two-Kings as well as the authorization to recruit a legion of knights from my own men. The levies that remain are yours until I can return to reclaim them.
I trust your judgement in this matter, my forces will not be able to render aid to Scuvne until the turning of summer.

-The Margrave of the West
 

[adwarf]

Continue up river, and deploy as previously stated.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Via homing pigeon, Pasha sent orders to Margrave Draignean's current commander in Two Kings to raise a legion of knights, buy the supplies necessary to get them to Scuvne, and send them that way. Hopefully they will meet up with the peasant troops he's sending himself.

[Noodlerex]

would like to volunteer as a test subject

Battles Turn, once again - Draignean, Taricus

Draignean

Assault the camp, pincer movement. User spy information to time it for the moment of greatest advantage.

Pincer Sol
1500 Peasants
1400 Knights

Pincer Luna (Lead personally By the Margrave.)
1500 Knights
1000 Peasants

[4] Margrave Draignean splits up his troops for massive advantage in the battle to come. He forms up his troops around their camp and prepares to launch a pincer movement just at the changing of the guards. [5] The two halves of the pincer remain coordinated and intact as they march into battle from two sides.

---

Margrave Draignean's Positioning Roll: [2+2=4] Good Lines, no bonuses or penalties.
Mountain Men Positioning: [5-2=3] Split Army! Forces separated from each other for the duration of the first battle! Cannot regroup, surprise attack!

Draignean's pincer movement cannot be used to attack both enemy armies at a time, so he will need to choose a target for it. The first Mountain Men group contains approximately 1000 Mountain Men Warriors and the second 2000 Tribesmen.

***

Taricus

Taricus

Head north to exterminate these worthless mountain men holding Lord Darvi captive (If we win, we also kill Lord Darvi, making it look like the mountain men killed him.)

[3] The Duke's army makes good progress across the plains and reaches the Mountain Men camp quickly. A force of such size isn't easy to hide, though, and the savages are prepared.

The enemy has about 2800 men, left over from Lord Darvi's attack. They seem to be in high spirits, overconfident from their earlier victory or not just realizing just how many knights and light horsemen Taricus has brought with him.

The Duke can Disrupt Enemy Formation, but victory is guaranteed in any case.

[Darvi]

Actually, try to escape again. No risk, no gain!

[Taricus]

CHARGE FOR THE GLORY OF THE SOUTH!

2 years and 2 days later, I bring this thread back by request.

All experiments to date have been moved to the logs along with links to their posts.

All testing subjects have been removed, so sign back up if you want back in.

The thread renting method described in roller's block can be used if popular request bears it out. Until that time, all of the OP should still apply.
