OoC Mirror: Brigands of Thoralinar - turn #63

[X-Elinie/RiD (Niels)]

Who says Alan is rooting for the other side?

[X-Mieres & SAS/AV (Mark)]

No routing for the other side! 

Are you kidding me- the longer Avan stays at war with Boer the longer I don't have to worry about my comeuppance.

[X-Osoerde (Alan)]

See Marks comment.

Jon,

FYI -- By War Move 6-8 things are pretty crazy in Osoerde.  I think the entire realm has armies activated...

Jon,

 Thanks, I know 

[X-Elinie/RiD (Niels)]

I have scouts deployed in all southern provinces, on active recon, and two units of fast cavalry roaming... I have received no news of any brigands, vampires, book thieves or otherwise crossing Elinie.

Either they are using the shadow realms or they are not here. (Well, or my men search like idiots)

[X-Bellam & BC/TB (Bobby)]

Wouldn't that be just the perfect end to this turn?  Ghieste and the SM are assaulted by Osoerdean troops convinced they stole the Book of Laws.  Hilarity ensues. 

[X-DM Jon]

Matt & Alexander, FYI this campaign will end, one way or the other by sunday at the very latest. I'll have alot of time tonight, little time tomorrow and saturday, and some more time sunday. So please get those decisions rolling quickly. You're both able to make decisions for the entire campaign, so please do so and don't worry about who commands what.
 Speed is of the essence here!

[X-Elinie/RiD (Niels)]

Regulars and xbows in 1 square, archers behind them.

Fire at will.

Armsmen to join from the flank, cavalry to mow down their rear to cut off escape, then circle back and finish the melee.

Thats what I'd do anyway. 

[X-MOC/Leman States (Even)]

As far as I understand we are not using the battlemagic rules (0th level realm spells), if we are using those, she will not attach herself to the archers but instead bombard the enemy. Otherwise, just stick with the archers and fling lightning bolts and fireballs.

What is the difference between 'bombard the enemy' and 'fling lightning bolts'? Just use some good descriptions of how you are using your magic powers.

[X-Ghieste & HOT/GH (Matt)]

Hmmm, back to the grinder. And if they had just surrendered I would not have had to murd.... sorry, EXECUTE all their mates....

[X-DM Jon]

I'm out for the day. Be back tomorrow to finish this.

Read up on field fortifications, p.  180

[X-Ghieste & HOT/GH (Matt)]

Have done....

In order to build a fortification significant enough to qualify for a field fortification bonus, an army must occupy the province for four war moves (1 action round).
Movement: No effect.
Combat: Units cannot charge into fortified areas.
Units defending a field fortification square get a +1 fortification bonus to Defense. Units in the fortification square get a +2 morale bonus to all Morale checks.

That the right bit?

And will be here all day tomorrow, though my family are over for my birthday lunch...

[X-IHH/Wallac Isilviere (Kasper)]

Happy Birthday Matt and good luck crushing the bandits to both you and Alexander; let them face rigtheous judgement 

[X-Bellam & BC/TB (Bobby)]

I'm not sure the HOT does righteous judgement.  I think we'll just go for "Matt's judgement" and be done.  Leaves a lot more room for him to work in.
