im pretty sure not triggering ready charge would be the ideal, cause then we could have the not triggered unit flank charge, flank melee. Actually no, even if the unit does charge, we can disenage, flank charge, melee charge the other cavaly anyway. The worst case is that they bait with one...

yeah of course they are going to charge, its just if they charge across for a total of 2 attacks on our cavalry, we win cause we can then triple lfank them but wait, they are coming from the bridge? I thought they are coming from west cause thats where our cavalry is :cry:

Yeah, but that would require them to bait the ready charge from a unit they cannot see exactly right and then have a ready charge set up to exactly catch that bait. But we can also not do that ready charge, in which case they would charge blindly while spending their entire movement pool while...

sorry, im pretty sure i havent really explained it. this is my current thought on defending the crossing: They cant charge the 108th cause that takes so much MP, so if they want to charge they need ot charge the 55th, which cant be hurt. So charging means they do no damage and get hit by...

I assume that we put a unit into the tower and one south out of charge range if we want to prevent them crossing. That means their charge cant really do any damage and we then have both units with free charges. Thats 120 damage on a cavalry and one of them routed. hmm, actually theyll be able...

Not really? the problem is that there is no space for their cavalry to charge our cavalry unless they infantry goes over in a single line, which doesnt work cause we probably do enough damage to rout a unit per turn, especially once chain routing starts. If our cavalry hits unbraced infantry...

Im not talking about the larger battle, they are pretty much guaranteed to cross, the question is if this cavalry crosses or just stops us from crossing

If we believe that they will try to cross, its extremely easy to win and kill hundreds of them for like 15 casualties. If we dont believe that they will try to cross, we have to think about if a stale mate is good enough for us or if we need to defeat them Actually, something else to keep in...

New idea, again assuming we have the first turn: 108 sprints across the crossing and to the woods in the far east, facing west. Charges against them suffer -20 penalty, so hit at -10 total(-20-20+10) Charges also can only be move+charge+melee. The hussars can charge+melee from the woods I...

Ah, I think I mixed it up when the threshold for casualties lowering performance then, so makes it pretty unfeasible. Us taking 50 damage would be a triump, cause we would be dealing an enormous amount of damage to them back. Taking 50 damage in exchange for getting 6 attacks off is something...

Idea: 55th moves into Danz fortified tile and braces, facing Northeast. 108th moves one tile into the river and ready charges/melees anything trying to flank the 55th. what can the enemy do: simplest and most obvious, charge the horse on their side of the river I assume the hussars are in...

[X] Plan Army Reform and Completing Hospital I dont agree with spending experienced troops on raising new regiments instead of having them reinforce where they would get us more total xp, but i dont think I will get that through votes. I think the hospital is important, not neccessarily...

Yeah I can participate, I'm good at looking at stuff from his perspective I think at least

I disagree. Elves are the only units that will usually grow or keep steady with xp even when losing high level casualties. Getting 10 high level replacements is a lot bigger when you lose 30 of them during the battle than if you lost 70. Elves requiring higher xp also means that elven veterans...

Generally I'm pretty sure that reinforcing a unit with experienced units is more xp for the cost than raising a unit with them
