The Besiegers are pretty ideal for mopping up the trolls but yeah, I agree; @Alectai, when he originally proposed the fortification plan, was ignoring Karag Zilfin, but people have been voting for the fortification plan but also for clearing out Zilfin, when I am pretty sure we can afford the troops for only one or the other.
What about Mhonar? The Mystery is gone. It's in Zilfin now.
You're forgeting the miners left in Karagril top, as well as the QMs word that the mercs will be useless against the Trolls. Just food for them. Those two together can do the clearing of Skyre, while Pike and Shoot deals with the Trolls. Biggest weakness then is Huzkul, and they should at least hold for a while.
I mean, all Sigmar did for the Dwarfs was rescue the High King that one time. And look at us!
really, if we could get across the idea, Dragons would make the best investors/enterprisers.
I mean, there was other battles as well. (Including Blackfire Pass)
Alright, unpack that, because what do you think is the risk here? That the Dragon "claims" Yar or something? That he somehow will do a poor job of killing the skaven?
So, new vote: let Kazador handle the assaults on the leftovers, while Clan Angrund and the Karak Izor groups bottle up the Skaven in with the dragon. And hopefully Mathilde's Windsight will be good enough to keep track so she can be on hand if/when the dragon does emerge.
As I understand it, it's that the Eshin Sorcerer and Three Assasins will get out and carry the tale all the way to Skavenblight (Or their home warren). About the tactics, and the enemy there. As well as keep a grudge. Good Luck finding or catching them once they decide it's time to run.
'Anything you do, i can do better' is Mathilde themesong, annoyingly to many.
I believe he's worried that the Skaven flee en-masse in our direction from the dragon and overrun whatever defenses we have set up.
The border prince mercs are shit against trolls, because sending non-elite standard infantry up against trolls is insane. The Besiegers are great because one approved way of dealing with trolls is "fill them with steel from a hundred meters away."
The dragon seems pretty specifically mad at skaven, I don't think it can finish off Eshin and Mors in an hour when it took several hours to clear out Skryre, and we aren't going into its territory (the top part of the mountain) at all. I think we're fine to mop up Skryre for it.
Eh,maybe, maybe not.
Also, the fear is the Skaven Sorcerer when faced with a Dragon might do what Sorcerers do when they panic/last gamble/bring out the nukes and push his big red "Summon Greater Deamon" button, which would in this case be a Verminlord.
Try reading the post you quoted one more time. I feel like this is a case of failing reading comprehension, because otherwise I have no idea where this post came from in response to that post.
The Eshin Sorceror would have the Lore of Stealth. As far as I'm aware, summoning Verminlords is only something a Grey Seer could do?
Sorry; I had (in my earlier post) said the Besiegers should mop up the trolls, and then the opening line of your post that quoted mine included "the mercs will be useless against the Trolls," so I thought you were including the Besiegers in that.
He means the other leftover trolls, I think, the ones in Kvinn-Wyr.
