Well, the castle is still under seige so should we just crush our immediate enemies and try to draw more and more from thr seige?
 
[X] Plan Run Around

-[]FIRE AGAIN FIRE AGAIN!!
It's risky, but considering the damage that our first volley did, we should be able to drive them back.

-[]Fake Retreat: Pretend to pull back before charging back at them. (Available because commander has Trickster)
Now this one looks interesting. If we can pull this off, we should be able to cut off a huge section of the Mongol right.

-[]Harrass The Siege Lines: Strike at the siege camp, set fire to the Mongols loot and sow chaos as their tents.
I'm not entirely sure about this one. On the one hand, charging worked last time, on the other hand harass the siege lines might force the Monogls to pull some of their own men back in order to try and deal with ours, which would leave our other two flanks in a better position.

Fake retreat sounds like a gamble, but we're doing well enough I'm willing to risk it. Our right flank is doing well and the sooner we relieve Faulk the better. Center should continue to kill as many Mongol scum as they can.

Please put that plan in plan format with a plan name.

We have achieved a total breakthrough on the cavalry flank, despite what the Mongol Lancer morale says. They've lost. We cannot afford to lose momentum, push on to the objective! The center has been neutralized as a threat, time to fire on the horse archers.

The boxes don't have Xs in them, is that how it's suppose to be?

The only thing that matters is the plan name. You don't have to put x's in the subvotes, but as they're just components, not line-by-line voted on options, all putting them in does is make the vote tally program just a tinsy bit harder to read.

May I ask why you chose these options? I realize that the enemy center is weak, but they still pose a threat to our archers are artillery.

That's why we picked Drive Forward.

Drive Forward: Send the men forward around the enemy, try to draw them away from the center.

Ah, ok then. I'll keep my Xs though, makes me happy.

But wouldn't that just put even more pressure on our left flank, which is already in a bit of a stalemate with their opponents?
With both their horse archers and cavalry on the flanks and their morale frankly broken... like hell they do.
I see the logic there (and, frankly, it makes a lot of sense), but I'm still worried about underestimating our opponents here. If the Mongol center does manage to force a breakthrough of our center, and thus split our army into two piece, then we're going to be in a bit of trouble. Mind you, we'd probably still win in the end, but we'd do so at a far greater cost than we would have otherwise, and considering that there are still other armies like this one...

Also, you realize that the Mongols do have cavalry in their center, right?
The Mongols advance slowed to a crawl as their horses bucked and scattered, sent into a blind panic by the sudden thunder.
They might not be in a good way right now, what with all the cannon fire, but they're definitely there.

So what? The middle group has suffered severe losses in both men and morale, and we'll be saving Fulk this turn. That means more reinforcements, and the artillary on either of the flanks will help in neutralizing at least one of the flanks.

We're fighting on offensive battle to save Fulk, not a defensive battle. We're on a time limit.
