Either way, Shen Ha should be taking some relatively big losses this round, seeing as he hadn't posted his troops as being in any sort of formation before this turn. Hope my onagers really eff him up before his catapults can destroy them

Frank, you're supposed to be arriving this turn. You'll have between 5-7k in troops. Rush up the middle and fuck em up, the trees in the middle are gone.

Does this turn mean before or after Monty gets back and posts the round summary?
By the way, I still like the idea of our troops carving a delta into their lines just before Frank arrives and massacres the ones caught on the inside of it.

Just post whatever troop numbers I'm supposed to arrive with, and I'll bring my own troops, which will be an extra 4k or so because I am about to buy more

I don't get why Kin's being such a whiny bitch about all of this, but apparently he's going to go the route where he moans and complains OOC to get his way.
Whatever.
And as far as troop number goes, I'm waiting to see what Monty has to say. Brian broke our 10k only rule, so I was going to bring only another 5k before I realized how many he brought, then I changed it to 7k to come closer to their numbers.

He's got about 19-20k once you include his personal troops, compared to our 14k with personal. We need Frank to bring some siege equipment though or this battle is going to go poorly for us.

No it's not. It's a field battle; all of our arbalest killable troops will have shields, and the onagers will be useless once the melee has begun. It's just a matter of getting into the enemy's lines and fucking them up.

So after the first salvo we should be alright? And you need to give Frank troops so he can post before Monty finishes the round.

Speaking of which, don't we have some archer junks? We could probably use those to land some troops behind the Wei lines. If we did that, I'd suggest: 1.8k formation breakers 1k crossbows
That'd make for a pretty effective ambush in my opinion. Could even end up capturing Shen Ha, as they'd land just south of him. Going off the movement guidelines, it'd take about 3 turns for it to work, but I'm sure I could hold Brian there that long.

Former Composition;
2,000 Elite Swordsmen 1,000 Retinue Spearmen 1,000 Crossbowmen 1,000 Heavy Cavalry
New Composition
2,000 Elite Swordsmen 1,000 Retinue Spearmen 3,000 Crossbowmen 1,000 Heavy Cavalry
That's what the current possible situations are. Ride hard, Frank. You arrive at the beginning of next turn, post after Li Wang, and get moving asap. We need you. PM monty that you'll await his judgement, though I Pm'd mikey before, and now i await a return pm from monty.

Can we pleeeeeeeease do the archer junk deployment as an ambush? This is EXACTLY the situation they're meant for. I'll even pay to replace the formation breakers if all I do is get them slaughtered.

No. Sorry. Brian will lose this fight no matter what, we really want to have He Fei so he's agreed to just sort of throw us a bone if he starts winning in this one.

Post by Li Wang on Aug 9, 2011 3:07:14 GMT
Awww but but it'd be an epic ambush! And if Brian's already agreed to throw this one, why not just do it? Maybe not with formation breakers, but even with a couple thousand tier 2 infantry I could still do it.

Can we add a few thousand to Frank's troops? Brian's already got us outnumbered a few k and has siege stuff, and Guo Huai is arriving with reinforcements for him. Which will probably eff us up, whether or not Brian throws us a bone.
