*A new force enters with Grulkogh leading it* Grulkogh's elite guard: 25 Olug-Hai Guardians, 500 MWE 250 Heavy Warg Shock Troops, 500 MWE
*Shathuru-felak bolts takes several of the Olug-Hai in the eye simultaneously, while Grulkogh finds himself ducking to avoid a similar fate, however, he does take a few hits because of the accuracy of the Shathuru-felak. A few heavy crossbowmen fire at the Warfare, with several finding their mark because of the size of the wargs in comparison with what they had been trained to hit, orcs, and men.*
Nothing of the sort happens. I'm way out of range.

*Shieldbearers and Halberdiers rush forwards and split to help protect the flanks of the Gondorians and Rohirrim, making an almost impenetrable wall of shield and steel and stopping all cavalry from attacking the archers without getting smashed.*
*The crossbowmen start to fire at the flanking troops, creating a rain of bolts, cutting through them. Sigun-thark prowl the flanks of the crossbowmen, smashing anyone who comes too close. The Kheleburk also watch the flanks, springing upon any creature that charges at them. The Swordsmen take up position just in front of the crossbowmen with some down the sides a little way, along with the Gunukun and Rakhas-felek.*
*Walking artillery target the advancing trolls and decimate them due to the sheer amount of them, and any that refuse to fall find themselves easy targets for the snipers, who aim for their eyes.*
OOC: One, I forgot how much fun this was, and two, does everyone on Evil attack the flanks that much, because it's all you guys seem to do
IC: The Trolls swipe through the shield wall on the flank they are attacking and retreat as my snipers target the operators of your artillery, the calvary veer off and head right for your front lines, the Tustedo/Phlanax charges right at your front lines, the other ranged troops fire at your ranged troops.
*The trolls are decimated at such close range by the snipers and the artillery switch targets to the Dol Guldur Ballistae, stopping shooting each as they are disabled. As the trolls fall several crossbowmen target the troops behind them*
OOC: They can be repaired, but it will take one or two battle turns.
IC: *Many of the shieldbearers pull back to defend the artillery, leaving the Gondorian and Rohirrim lines in a rough shield wall box. The Halberdiers rush back to their own front lines in formation, but the cavalry beat them there. The Sigun-thark take up a defensive position in front of your cavalry, preparing to hold the line at all costs.*
*The Kheleburk stealth towards your testudo, taking advantage of the limited visibility it gives your troops to get close undetected, as well as their dark grey camouflage. They plant special anti-infantry caltrops (Basically smaller version designed to pierce boots) in front of your testudo without it noticing, and wait for it to break as the front line encounters the caltrops. They hold a vial of blinding powder and their katana in their hands. A few hold small jars of a flammable liquid, designed to ignite and create a small explosion (More of a bang really but still very disorientating when in a tight formation, plus the short-lived flames, also very distracting when in a tight space . Like a miniature petrol bomb, but way less efficient and explosive) when they are broken.*
OOC: You can see what's about to happen, so please let it, this is my greatest idea for a long while Also it's hard to avoid since they don't have much of a way of receiving warning as the dwarvish lines are a decent way back from the Gondorians and thus Haradrim and Orcish lines.

*The Variags Begin smashing the flank.* They were behind the trolls, you never shot them. *The Cavalry use wood-cutting axes and dislocate gears of your Artillery* They were like, right on top of them. OOC: Their is nothing I can do, and the KHANDISH (not Haradrim, but then their is not much difference.) troops aren't moving forward. they formed a testudo-like structure (which this strategy actually wouldn't work on due to it's complexities) are waiting currently.

I am very confused by these quick, fast dwarves. Dwarves do not quietly sneak towards the enemy and sabotage them. Dwarves relentlessly attack the enemy and overwhelm them with strength and skill. Elves I can see sabotaging formations like this, but never Dwarves.

IC: The ballistae being on the high ground are hard to hit yet can hit you well, Not all the trolls are smashed and the very few that survive successfully retreat, before your troops can form up my calvary has already hit the front of your lines, my ranged troops continue to fire, the Phlanax part of the infantry formation charges into your lines as the Tustedo keeps the ranged troops safe. As the Pikemen approach the area where your traps are their training comes into play and they take less damage as expected.

Technically, they don't. However, it's not far enough from what COULD be that we ban it. Dwarves are small, and know the rock, giving them allowances for some stealth units, at least in rocky terrains like this one. Would you see goblin stealth units? I've got a couple, and that's not really their style (ambushes, but pure stealth units not so much)

OOC: Whatever, it's not that big of a deal. I know it is, I made some mistake (the Tsur-Nemu and the Variags are actually Variags, I mixed up said units. Don't worry, I'll change it in my post.). Also, I believe that I mentioned before that they are using groups of rocks, which is allowed. It's not accurate, but as you said, they wouldn't be difficult to hit. Also, since you're replying to this one, null my other move, I thought you were doing joint replies or something since I hadn't seen even one post of my units. IC:The Aji-Ayangs continue spreading their rock fire. *The Crossbowmen are getting attacked now by two sides, some of my archer cavalry and my ordinary archers. Some archers are out of range of the Crossbowmen (unless they have long-bow capabilities)* *The Variags (not trolls) wait behind the troll's bodies until the crossbowmen are mostly destroyed.*
