So, I'm back, and I'll be taking over the Rohirrim force here.  Bobby told me he had 7,000 MWE here, so I'll go ahead and sort that out and make my units. 1,500 Mounted Archers - 1,500 MWE. 1,000 Mounted Chargers - 2,000 MWE 1,000 Mounted Spearmen - 2,000 MWE 750 Rangers of Rohan - 1,500 MWE Alright, so, all my forces are relatively spread out, not camping out or anything, and I'm on the far end of the map from the rest of you all. *A force of 50 Mounted Spearmen and 25 Mounted archers set out to scout out the enemy.* *They can see these troops: Regular army: 2K Wallers, 2,000 MWE 4K Archers, 3,200 MWE 80 Battle Trolls, 800 MWE 1K Swamp Pikemen, 1,000 MWE 1K Orc Snipers, 1,000 MWE 1K Light Warg Skirmishers, 1,000 MWE Generated troops: 500 Crossbowmen, 500 MWE What they can't see up on the high ground: Siege weapons: 20 Dol Guldur Balistae, 400 Seige Worth 83 Scorpons (249 SMWE) *

It's a Tustedo/Phlanax and they are right in front of what used to be the gate.

I can spare 4,000 maximum of my troops to help, but if I can crush the Rohirrim quickly then I can help destroy Gondor with my whole force. {JAMMERS! -EVIL- ONLY!}I think I can. And I'm already pretty much redeployed.

Right, so, do we just want to start the battle here from scratch again? Mostly for Goaty's sake, and for my own since I lost track of this battle ages ago I also think that in the confusion stemming from the membership crisis troops may have teleported around a little Thoughts?

{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!}
Alright, so here's my plan so far: if you two can get the baddies to spread out in an even line, I'll send my cavalry around your guys's flank in several skirmishing maneuvers and use my mounted archers to harass and snipe them, while sending my rangers to take down Tuvok's crossbowmen. Also, MM will likely try something heavy-handed to take down my cavalry with those trolls he thinks are invincible - if so, would one of you please point out that cavalry at a full gallop would basically run over most trolls? And that trolls can die from arrow wounds? Otherwise, I'll mostly just split my cavalry up into small groups to skirmish - thoughts?

Where are they and in what formation? It's a Tustedo/Phlanax and they are right in front of what used to be the gate. Ok, then. *My troops are divided into 60 groups of 50, with 20 Mounted archers, 15 Spearmen and 15 Axemen, and these groups spread out into most of the region (but not towards the enemy yet) to avoid being ambushed in a large group.*

Alright, I'll use my crossbowmen to lay down suppressing fire to try to stop the archers targeting your groups. I'll also send small shield formations with snipers behind your skirmishers to take out the trolls. Tuvok accepts that if the trolls come to close to the snipers they will be decimated. Also, as shown by BotFA, high velocity projectiles (eg spear from horseback) from close range have the capability to penetrate the troll's skin. Keep in mind there's a whole lot of Haradrim (?) here, they may be a problem. I'll try to capitalise on any gaps you open in the Enemy lines too with my faster troops.

I was considering sending them around to sabotage Tuvok's ballistae and scorpions, as they are a minor threat to my cavalry, and I may also target his crossbowmen with them. The last time I tried to use javelins against MM's Harmored trolls he denied damages... but I'll try, and hope it makes a difference.
