Do we know where the heir will be?
Yes.
@Boney Since this is vitally important to deployment ofNadezhdaIce Witches, will Boris be with Kreml Guard, clearing the forest?
Meanwhile, the Tzar isn't going to be particularly exposed until the fighting starts:
@Boney, where exactly are the Tzar and the Boyars? On the path? How far away are they going to be from the forest clearing rotas?
They are going to be waiting with the bulk of the forces at Resvynhaf, right on the edge of the forest. So a considerable distance away.
I'm thinking Johann on forest teams to be close to Boris, ice witches on road patrol, and Mathilde scouting.
Maybe switch Ice Witches and Johann in the name of romance.
I'm too lazy to do write ins, and standard votes offered treats witches as a group.I mean if all you want is romance you could split the witches and put only the one who would care about that with Boris.
Trasimene was at least partially due to how long it would have taken the Romans to form battle formations, and the utter surprise with which they were taken. The lake was certainly not the decisive factor.Well I hope those fortifications are solid, because marching alongside a river brings to mind the battle of Trasimene.
Well we can freeze the rivers so that should solve the biggest hazard should they ambush the army.
The other group that seems likely to be in heavy danger is the city rotas doing the patrolling:The woodcutters are the group most in danger anyway, I'd prefer the Ice Witches there even apart from any shipping.
They're the first-response force in case either the scouts make contact or the loggers come under attack. The Tzar and the Boyars are in the rear, ready to charge where needed: they'll arrive on the battlefield in force, but they won't arrive first. The city rotas will.The other rotas will patrol the expanded path and stand ready to respond to any contact with the enemy along it.
Mathilde: I have read so many romance novels to prepare for this moment.Liliana: my apprentice wants to ride boris.
Mathilde: i shall take that into account when strategizing.
Yes. I actually mentioned that when i was talking about it. Shipping aside, you want the magical aid near the cutters.The woodcutters are the group most in danger anyway, I'd prefer the Ice Witches there even apart from any shipping.
What do you mean this war council was about the elves. I thought we were discussing the war of the heart!Liliana: my apprentice wants to ride boris.
Mathilde: i shall take that into account when strategizing.
So they want ice to break that hard wood...Liliana: my apprentice wants to ride boris.
Mathilde: i shall take that into account when strategizing.
Other way round .
Well, yeah. We're trusting in that no matter what we do or who we put where.You guys sure are trusting in future dice rolls to not have the ice witch or Boris merked
dice are gonna do what dice are gonna do.You guys sure are trusting in future dice rolls to not have the ice witch or Boris merked
So... clearing a forest would be quite long could we try to investigate the boyar when he arrives if the elves haven't engaged yet?
A little-known but important part of Grey Order diplomacy:
Part of being a Grey Wizard is not just holding secrets, but using secrets: weighing the likelihood of a person you tell a secret to spreading the information and the potential danger if they do so against the utility of achieving a greater level of trust and familiarity with that person. Three senior Ice Witches are a fairly safe audience, and the mechanism behind the Miasma stopped being a very guardable secret once it started getting used on battlefields where enemy wizards were present.
I assume this would either stop us from doing other things, or at least limit our effectiveness in them?
