Quote:Hi Scooter.
The Germans were planning an ambush for us. A scouting move by our cahriot discovered another stack hidden behind Warendorf.
So, west of Warendorf:
7 cats, 1 elephant, 2 chariots, 2 spears, 7 axes
Warendorf
1 elephant, 2 chariots, 2 axes
South of Warendorf
4 cats, 1 elephant, 1 chariot, 6 axes (including deepwater Helm, Fonte Rande Helm, and Der Falke Helm)
That totals:
11 cats, 3 elephants, 5 chariots, 2 spears, 15 axes
Rather than get chewed up outside of Warendorf in clear terrain, (or a move 4 which also left our stack exposed both this turn and next), we have opted to try andsplit the defence. Our main stack is moving north, and then west toward Wesselburn.
Our secondary stack will stay where it is (the desert tile just east of the cows), unless they move on it in force, in which case we will try and draw it into our territory. We have lots of reinforcements coming up, so we are not worried if they try a foray into our lands. In fact, it would problem shorten the war if they did.
At any rate, we have probably drawn most of their army north, so 'go to town' in the south.
If they move to defend Wesselburn, we will adavance on Warendorf. If they don't, we will take it and the other northern city while still working to pin down the bulk of their forces around Warendorf.
Your chariot can either move north with our stack, or back to the desert tile with our secondary stack. Your call, but I would prefer he move north. We have lots of reinforcements coming in from Great Plains, but the big stack will not be receiving any.
That's it from our end. Will end our turn in a few hours.
Cheers! Beta
