Looks like I missed this. Wait. . . No. I thought that I posted something to this. Oh wait no, never mind. *My troops fire at your's, targeting crew of anything in range, or else your more elite units* *My Skirmishers hit and run at your ranged cavalry, firing arrows as they go (or getting in close).* *The Hobgoblins attack your melee cavalry* *The Trappers reappear, attacking your Dunedain.* *All of my mangonels and archers fire at your forces. My land-forces fire at the river-flank of your troops (the far side of the army), while my river-troops fire at the middle of your army.* *The onagers continue to fire at your tanks, and the scorpions fire at your defensive troops.* *My main army engages yours, with the Dwarf guards attacking your front line.* *My ranged cavalry splits up. Half of them run off towards your Hobgoblins, while the other half wanders about your skirmishers. Those fighting the skirmishers easily outrun them, and they dash around barely in range of the skirmishers, frequently changing direction to be as difficult to hit as possible. They fire primarily at the skirmishers' Wargs.* *The melee cavalry quickly retreat from the Hobgoblins, while half of my ranged cavalry come to take their place. The ranged cavalry stay perpetually close to, yet out of reach of the Hobgoblins, and from there they bombard them with arrows.* *The Dunedain, being rangers who are used to scouting out otherwise-difficult-to-find things, spot your trappers a little ways off. They immediately sound for assistance, and then start firing arrows at them while slowly backing off. My melee cavalry soon come to their assistance and attack the trappers (likely just before or as they reach the Dunedain).*

Additionally, due to the short range of a repeating crossbow, the trappers would be having to spend much of their time moving to keep in range of the Dunedain, meaning that not only do they have less time to set traps, but they're also moving away from the traps that they set (meaning that they're soon of little use, and also leaving a trail of isolated (and thus likely more visible) traps that would make the cavalry more suspicious and wary of other traps). *After getting past the traps, my melee cavalry engage your trappers.

*Galadron/Sauron smashes your siege engines who are smashing my siege engines who are smashing your troops who are smashing mine who are smashing your windows* OOC: Indeed. *The troops form a Phalanx instead* OOC: I'm really wishing I got a book on tactics rather than an Illustrated Signs and Symbols Sourcebook for Christmas now. *Goes off to fing more formations on the internet*
OOC: Indeed.
*My troops rush up and attack yours while they are forming the Phalanx.*
OOC: Yeah, that might have been helpful. Good luck in your search. *His twin brother Ure who is never mentioned casts Eru into the Void* OOC: Indeed. *It turns into a chaotic melee, with both sides taking heavy losses* *Meanwhile, the ladders are laid against the walls, and 500 Guzar Swordsman climb them, while the Elite Archers smash anyone who attempts to push the ladders down.* OOC: It would. Thanks.

Oh, right. Thanks. *The siege engines start firing at the Mammoths as soon as they come into range.*
*The riders attempt to steer the mammoths clear of the fire, though a couple mammoths are downed. Nevertheless, they continue charging in this manner, till they reach the Dunlending lines.*
*My other troops follow behind the mammoths. Once in arrow range, all archers peel off to the flanks, and open fire on the Dunlendings.*Indeed. *The Guzar Archers and siege engines do their best to down the rest of the mammoths, taking a few steps back between each volley.*
