Turn #66 - Campaign into Northern Taeghas

[X-Roesone/SG (Shido)]

The commander is free to go to Devien, along with his men.
The scanning force (3 units of Dragoons) is ordered to recon deeper into Devien, avoiding any encounter and return back with report.

[DM B]

The cavalry arrives through Brosien as planned.

[DM B]

Not all Medoere troops left; only the templars (my bad). So these units are with the army:

MEDOERE
Regulars  Seamist E   Elite
Archers   Brosien   W   Veteran   

[X-Roesone/SG (Shido)]

After the departure of the surrended units, two units of Lion regulars along with the Medoeran contingent will be appointment as a temporary garrison. Rest of the army will be prepared to march into Devien.
Now Baron waits for the scouting dragoons to return.

[DM B]

OOC:

Force marching infantry has a speed of 3; going by Nentril it will take then 5 weeks, maybe 4, to reach Seamist. And one week to activate. And one week to receive the order (given the distance). So they will be there first thing next turn.

to clear possible misunderstanding, I don't expect the Iron Order units to arrive sooner, with the new units I referred to I meant the contingent of cavalry arriving this turn

But you do send orders for them to move? If so, they will arrive around WM 1 next turn (in Seamist)

[DM B]

The commander is free to go to Devien, along with his men.
 
The scanning force (3 units of Dragoons) is ordered to recon deeper into Devien, avoiding any encounter and return back with report.

The negotiations take place in WM 7. In WM 8 the enemy units move to Devien (unharmed?), leaving you a castle (2).

The scouts report back. Baron Onslew commands the army in Devien. He has a castle (3 or 4) there, with some units inside (good quality infantry?). He also has 9-10 unit of militia (it looks well equipped, but of poor morale). There is at last 1 unit out light cavalry in there as well, possibly 2-3. And of course the 4 units of infantry that quit Seamist.

----

You have word from Nentril. The force there has started moving. And will arrive at the end of WM 8. Consisting of 3 Endier inf + 6 Ghieste cav/inf.

[X-Roesone/SG (Shido)]

But you do send orders for them to move? If so, they will arrive around WM 1 next turn (in Seamist)

Sure, I only found later that I labeled two unit groups with the word "new" in that post and it might look I'm expecting the Iron Order riding FTL 

[DM B]

So any activity from the rest of your army in WM 8? Other than watching the enemy vacate the castle?

[X-Roesone/SG (Shido)]

The scouts did return in WM7 or 8?

[DM B]

The scouts did return in WM7 or 8?

7 - they need only one move to go back and forth.

[X-Roesone/SG (Shido)]

OK, so there was enough info in WM 8 to make another move ...
Baron orders his mounted units to enter Devien under his personal command :

ROESONE
Knights   Brosien   OK   Elite
Dragoons   Brosien   OK   Veteran
Dragoons   Brosien   OK   Elite (Isilviere)
Outriders Brosien   OK   Veteran (Ghoried)
DIEM
Knights   Brosien   OK   Elite
Knights   Brosien   OK   Green   
Dragoons   Brosien   OK   Green   
Dragoons   Brosien   W   Elite   
Dragoons   Brosien   OK   Green   
Outriders   Brosien   OK   Green   
Mnt. Armsmen   Brosien   Veteran   
Mnt. Armsmen   Brosien   Elite   

the rest stays in Seamist under command of Tael Brosuine, watching over the retreating Onslew units.

[X-Roesone/SG (Shido)]

checking the lastest ARR's DO, I don't know where the one Roesone regulars came from - I found no sign of mustering nor I've them among ARR's units in the DO ... am I missing something?

[DM B]

OOC: Well, they are there. The DOs are a mess anyway.

[DM B]

WM 8:

The mounted component moves to Devien. There is little new to report; the enemy has called out the militia and has 3 or so units of light cavalry, but they are not interested in initiating battle or skirmishing.

The foot stay in Seamist and oversee the castle/retreat

Ghieste/Endier contingent arrives in Seamist

----

WM 9 begins

[X-Roesone/SG (Shido)]

Does the Ghieste/Endier contingent have a commander? Tael Brosuine demands to speak with the commanding officer, asking for his orders.
General Brosuine was ordered by Baron to leave a few units for garrison duty in Seamist and with the rest depart to Devien. Will the Ghieste/Endier contingent obey?
