Rising in the East (OOC)

So you're saying that the frog people are covertly financed and supported by a major power? :V
 
Seems like the frogs aren't doing what you expect them to do...well now you know why they aren't~

I hope you like the update, wrote it in between lectures and finished it this morning - is the layout okay like this? Or do you have any better ideas to make it more presentable?

@Gideon020 An Update for an Update~ ^^
 
Oh hell mates. You stumbled probably on an Alnus Hill/Sacred Gravesite analogue for the froggies.

The magic waves must have also signaled your arrival too.

I like the way it's presented. It was nice to read about how all the regiments were doing.


@Gideon020, @whydoyoubother

I'm thinking of holding position at the fort and taking on the frogs to the north and northeast of us.

The White Cloaks are entrenchment specialists, and the rest of the army is at camp. I'm sure you guys will be able to hold the line.
 
do we have an actual estimate how many natives are arround us? it was something like 40.000 between us and the main army, but is that including every other enemy fortification?

And not surrounded by more than 90.000 angry natives~?

Nah, we're fiiiine. Being surrounded makes it easier for us to shoot them, that's all.

Go ahead, I'm more concerned trying to get myself out of this mess in the center.

We can attack, seizing the advantage and disrupting their lines before they get too big, but that would mean leaving the fort. On the other hand, they don't seem to be trained at all, so an alpha strike could work.

Personally, I think we should play to our advantages and prepare ourselves. They'll have to come for us, eventually; we've desecrated their dead, after all. An insult like that can't be left unanswered.
 
Light infantry and dragoons could move out and thin out their numbers as the frogs advance. Shoot and scoot, keep them on their toes.

Line infantry could hold the line with the support of artillery.

We can do that. Since i am the Pioneer, i am also forcing the issue: I am building your defenses. :)
Its not a huge plan. We are flanking the enemy from walking off and kicking our main army, so we need to get their attention and hold our position while making them unable to move off and taking griveous losses by attacking us.
 
Artillery could harass them from range to get them to charge towards us.
 
If we do that, they run into the swamp. Thats where we do not want to face them or even go there. Because that is where they are heading to kill our Main army. Instead, we must pin them down and make them unable and unwilling to move. But if we kill too many initially, they will simply slink away.
Instead, we threathen them. We harass them. We give them openings. Once they are commited on crushing us (because an enemy stronghold in your back is bad, even if you are a swamp-frogman), we will show the cannons. Its their biblical Judgement Day once we start the systematic slaughter of their main body. But it must be held back until we can catch them and make them so useless that they cant act without harmstringing themselves anymore.

EDIT: This can backfire, btw: If we are too succesful and they are containing Gideon, they will crush us with superior numbers until we are all dead, then turn around and kill the Main Army. But it is a gamble we will have to take, i suppose.
