[X] Plan Hold the Line!
[X] Hold the chokepoints, as the generals already planned. Least risky option. Will add the generals' modifiers to yours, making this easier.
[X] Land Survey: The area around here has numerous hills and covers which could prove beneficial when fighting against Brunswick, regardless of battle plan. No good maps cover all of these currently. You can help with that.
[X] Address Mainz: The civilians will likely take casualties if there's a siege or battle near the city. Perhaps you could convince them with words…
[X] Study & Practice: choose a skill to study and practice. Can increase by 1 or 2.

Hmm, okay, who of our subordinates has the best Charisma + Oratory (and is it better than ours)?

Chamans, he's the more diplomatic one. Severin is the athlete, and de Lisle is the engineering student.

I like to imagine Severin, fresh from being a sergeant, still doing obnoxious sergeant things, like being the DI who runs in circles (with full pack!) around soldiers who complain about long marches.

Oh Guiltoinne The Protector of Weak
Oh Guilotinne no God No master

For We all the People, We are the judgement.

Oh Guilotinne Soldier of Freedom.
Oh Guilotinne Tyrants Fear.

Fires of Liberation, in their hearts.

The True Judge Absolves them.

Letting someone who is less boorish than Therese address Mainz sounds like a good idea. And we don't really need Chamans to inspect the army yet another time.

What if we let part of his army cross the river, use artillery to take out the bridge, trapping them on our side, and then have our artillery focus on counter battery fire? If we sally forth with cavalry and infantry we'll have the numbers advantage, and their artillery will have to choose between trying to support their troops and fighting back against our artillery. If we don't sally forth, part of their army will be trapped on our side of the river, cut off from supplies and unable to take the city because of not having enough troops. Then we can have our cannons take pot shots at them whenever they aren't doing counter battery fire, and have our cavalry come out to harass them occasionally.

It's nice in theory, and we can pull it through we definitely should, but it requires the enemy to commit a serious blunder for that to happen. Sore Loser is supposed to be better than that.

Maaaybe if we pull Thérèse out in the open making rude gestures in his general direction...
