[x] Rocky Road to Heilidorf
- It's time to make good use of our allies from the north, specifically the remaining cavalry from Kislev. Their skill in using light arms such as short-ranged bows is well-know for a reason, and it's time to use the vast number of ungol horse archers to our advancement by instructing them to begin a short range assault on the Chaotic forces surrounding the further sides of the city, fighting in a staggered manner to prevent them from being caught in close combat, avoiding direct conflict. In doing so, they'll hopefully begin pulling more Chaos forces away from the main body towards disadvantaged areas of the city and unable to effectively counter-attack.
As they do, begin setting up a ranged bombardment of Chaotic forces with our current cannons. Now this is to primarily focus on eliminating key figures within the Chaos forces, specifically the portal itself and any targets of import such as siege engines (they may have a few somewhere), until those have primarily been dealt with. After that, they're to focus on any approaching heavy Chaos forces, such as Warriors while our own heavy forces such as the Ogres, Bull Warriors, Kreml Guard, etc, are to form an armoured first through the center and smash a hole through the Chaotic forces ringing the city.
This plan should work on 3 levels.
Firstly, it forces the chaotic forces into disarray over trying to strike at our mobile forces (which is mainly playing of the Norscan desire for close-combat/plague zombies idiocy) and strengthening unimportant points that will be unable to strengthen their own forces when we strike.
Secondly, by eliminating the portal and any artillery owned by Chaotic forces, it pretty much allows us complete dominance of the outer battlefield, as their forces will be pretty much constricted in staying inside their siege-works or suffer being cut down by the Ungol cavalry or being picked off by our forces.
Third, and finally, an armoured fist cracking the centre of the Chaos lines allows the Elves to ride forth from the city and allows them to join the wider battle, either through their own cavalry or freeing up their mage to focus on the Norscan attackers from behind, leaving the mope up of Chaotic forces for us.
Basically, we've got to distract them then whack them in the face as hard as we can. While they're reeling, our forces need to hammer them again and keep them down, hopefully after having knocked out their magical support.
Of course, we do need to cover positioning of our general State Force, but I'm not to sure on what to do with them. Most likely starting from a protective position around the cannons till they're hammered down the portal, which once done requires them moving into combat lines against the main Chaos force. A detachment is to remain behind to protect our artillery, of course. That shit's expensive.
