They have no camels to move the supply caravans with, so they can only take what they can carry on their person, which is not much compared to what they brought with them, what they took from the nobles, and what they raided from the town. Supplies are the LAST thing we should be worrying about right now.

Comments:
So we're pretty good on attack. Could maybe be a bit better at defence. I'm not sure if we could do anything else on support. (Maybe some runners? No, we're not big enough. Or medics? Hm, no training though and we're outnumbered enough as it is.)
I was thinking we might try something like the Blitzkrieg part of this image? We'd need a few extra votes though...

The company sent out two different groups to try and hurt the enemy, a raiding party, and a small force to break through enemy lines. They also sent a smaller group to protect the raiding party and keep a route of escape.
The protecting group, unfortunately, were slaughtered in the very first skirmish to buy time for the raiders to escape, delaying the enemy forces. The rest of the raiding went well, though, and the raiders were able to harass the enemy and kill many of the them, more-so then before due to increased numbers. They were also able to once again delay the western troops insuring that they would not be able to fight with the southern troops and withdrew to the northern camp.
The attempt to headcap the enemy went much, much, worse though. The attacking soldiers were surrounded, separated, and killed quickly by the enemy forces. They ultimately achieve nothing, not even a major delay, and all die. The enemy is even less likely to rout now and has improved morale due to the crushing victory over the would-be headcappers.
Commander Erica is delayed and unable to help the attacking parties, but is not idle and manages to form a basic defense by organizing the troops that remain (+5 to defensive rolls in the norther camp next turn). Just in time too, because the southern troops reached the north and are right on your doorstep. You will need to either fight, or immediately abandon the northern camp and your position.

Currently outnumbered: 3.7 to one. Concentration of enemy forces: 1.9 in west, 1.8 in the south. Western troops continued to be delayed.

I made a sketchy battle-map. Is this about what's happening? (We're red. Enemy is blue. I know it's usually the other way round, but our flag is red, so I thought it fitting.) The dotted arrows are potential flanking moves I'm not sure they're doing or not.
If this is right, then I suggest we get to the west camp or central camp somehow, perhaps by charging through the gap between the potential flanking force of the group to the south and the main force of the group to the south (taking out the flank) and positioning ourselves to the south of them. Then pushing the line back north a bit. They should have some momentum at least. I hope. Then when we hold the central or western camp we could either hold the line and do some attrition while a small group loots whatever we want. (That's why we want it to be the central or western camp, they have more loot) or we could "rinse and repeat."

OK we should hold this position and maybe have some people try to flank
[X] Defend the Northern Camp
-[X] EverBlocker
suggestion
[ ] Prepare to flank when they reach our line
-[ ] Beserker or Whirlwind Fighter or Sword Saints
[ ] Defend the Northern Camp
-[ ] EverBlocker, Iron Warriors or Sword Saints
Edit:
Eri we don't have to worry about being flanked for this turn so we should focus on defending our position or trying to send a group to flank them our selves.

I'm a bit worried that if we try to do this then they will be able to encircle us. They do outnumber us. So I suggest we run circles around them and cut off small pieces of their forces in stead. Like I explained in my last post. What do you think?
My preliminary battle-plan
The slightly darker patch of red is supposed to be our everblockers protecting our rear flank.

No, the western group is barely out of their camp, if you choose to stay and fight, the battle will be over before they get there. Also, the Southern group isn't occupying the central camp while preparing to attack, the groups on the map are way too big.
(Good try, though)

Hm
How about this?
Roughly correct, although the camps aren't that big , and south group isn't in central at all, not even the rear elements.
But, it works as a rough representation.
Argh. Getting this right if it kills me. Tried to fix it again in the above post.

Your never going to get it perfect, if I wasn't on my phone (and knew how to use and upload paint) or could draw I would do it myself. But, as it is, it works.
Good. Then let the planning begin?
I still say we should be running circles around them, but given that we only have to deal with one group right now standing our ground could work about as well.
