No I didn't, I made three. The Maethyr I-Thewair attacked, I reminded you that the center is still in the same formation (thus not a move), the reserve troops attacked (I gave details as to how they attacked, but didn't make multiple moves), and then the elite strike team attacked, and I specified how they did so. So no, I made the max number of moves. Unless you'd like to point out the additional ones you think I did.
Just so you guys know, the whole three-moves-per-post rule doesn't apply in this RP. You can make as many moves as you need to to effectively control your troops, so long as it doesn't extend past a reasonable amount of time, and you don't mind your moves being cut short by the enemy.

Oh, okay. Your battle at Gundabad makes a lot more sense now. Thanks for letting me know.
You're fine, I understand. So long as you aren't stalling to bring in reinforcements, in which case I'll take that as incentive to make more moves against you here.
*My troops start a tactical retreat before they loose all the Olugs*
OOC: ...I can't believe I missed this. xD Sorry I didn't get to this until now, my bad.
IC: *As they begin to retreat the scorpions stationed on either side of the army open fire, aiming for the Olugs especially. The archers also add to the volley. This forces the enemy to retreat at a much slower pace, taking more cover lest lose more troops.*
*The troops return to the formation mentioned before, with the Dae-E-Tawar and Cuan-E-Tawar joining with the other archers and the Tir-E-Arachir joining with the Arandond.*
*The entire army begins to slowly advance after the retreating enemy, with shields at the ready in case of enemy fire. The elite archers move slightly ahead of the army, moving through the trees with stealth as they scan for possible ambushes ahead.*

OOC: Before I make my move, I think this is a good time to stop the action and consider our losses thus far.
In terms of my troops, I lost maybe 25 from your crossbow orcs, given that they were mostly prepared to counter that, but their formation wasn't quite perfect. Most of those would have been swordsmen, maybe some spearmen. Some of my archers would have been lost as well, probably more as they were slightly more exposed. Does 50 sounds fair to you? If so, that's around 100 MWE lost from there.
Where I probably took the most losses was from your flanking attack, especially from the Olugs. And I'd say the right wing was hit harder than the left, seeing as the left wing had the ambush to assist them. So probably around a total of 100 spearmen, 100 swordsmen, 50 Maethyr I-Thewair, 20 Silvan Archers, 15 Hir-E-Ech, and 15 Hir-E-Lang (approximate numbers). That's 300 soldiers total, for about 575 MWE lost. AS for the strike team, you never made any move against them, so they remain unscathed.
As for your troops, I would say your Wallers had the least amount of damage, probably 50 at most. Your crossbow orcs suffered heavy casualties to start, with a little thereafter. I would say around 500 were destroyed in that first volley, and maybe 50 after that. So around 600 (480 MWE) lost.
Now where your disaster really began was with the flanking attack. Your Black Uruks that attacked were both slightly outnumbered and definitely outmatched. While they did damage to my troops, with the melee combat, archers, ambush, and losses during their retreat combined, you probably lost nearly three-fourths of them. I think 700 (1,680 MWE) is more than fair. As for the Olugs, they gave me the most damage, but that came at a high price, especially with the ambush and scorpions. I'd say you lost around half of them (400 MWE). So that's a total of 700 Black Uruks and 25 Olugs (2,080 MWE).
That took longer than I anticipated. So essentially I lost around 675 MWE and you lost over 2,550 MWE. That's my biased opinion. What do you think?

That sounds about right. Your move.
OOC: Well that was easy.
Just as a side note, the scorpions did come with the army when they moved.
IC: *The army comes to a stop.*
*The Dae-E-Tawar fan out in a large perimeter surrounding the army, remaining stationary and hidden, looking for any traces of enemy activity.*
*The Cuan-E-Tawar, masters of stealth, follow the retreating enemy without their knowing about it. For the moment they do not fire, merely trying to see what the enemy is attempting next.*

OOC: What troops are they ambushing? My main army is surrounded by the Dae-E-Tawar who are looking for any enemy attacks/ambushes, so it can't be them or the main army. And the Cuan-E-Tawar are too skilled in this environment to be ambushed by simple orc units.

OOC: Anything separated form the main army that they can sneak up on. If there is any of that.

OOC: Well that isn't exactly what I was hoping for.
IC: *The Cuan-E-Tawar, having found the location of many of the hidden orcs, silently return to the main army and join up with 100 of the Dae-E-Tawar. The rest of the Dae-E-Tawar remain in the defensive perimeter.*
*The stealth force then goes back to the location of the enemy, moving through the trees to remain unseen and taking out any stray orcs in their path as silently as possible.*
*Once there, they quickly release their arrows in individual shots, especially targeting the Olugs and crossbow orcs before falling back.*
