Day 12 – Forces from the Count Essex arrive and begin to recapture Quillan’s territory.

Day 15 – Two more armies join the Norwold forces in Sandralane’s Barony.

Day 18 – The final gasp of this attack, the combined forces of the Expeditionary Force, Advance Force, and Landfall meet up with two other two baronies here after they secure their targets, and move to Sandralane’s Barony. They will arrive in 5 days.

Day 23 – battle begins

Armies:


Thyatian Advance Force – 3000 troops, 77 BR
Thyatian Expeditionary Force – 3200 troops, includes some mages, 85 BR
Longtooth’s Legion – 420, 76 BR
Army of Max I – 650, 113 BR
Landfall Lernal – 2000, 48 BR

Vs

Royal Army of Norwold – 3600 troops, 92 Battle Rating (BR)
Queen’s Guard – 500 troops, all cavalry, BR 135
Alzar – 360 troops, 129 BR
Sandralane – 77 BR, 350 troops
Douglass, 81 BR, 500 Troops
Acres, 78 BR, 500 troops


They split the TEF in order to make 6 armies.

He first army chooses

Queen’s Guard selections Army of Max I
Alzar decides to take a different tactic and grab the 2000 strong Landfall army, Not what you would normally expect, ceding 7:1 odds, but there’s a method to his madness. He wants to give them a huge numerical loss.
Royal Army takes on the TAF.
1st TEF, 1600 big, takes on Douglass
2nd TEF, 1600 big takes on Acres
Longtooth vs Sandralane

Bonuses – all defenders get +30, Sandralane gets an additional +10 for their dominion.

In addition, nobody is fatigued anymore.

Let’s make some rolls…

Queen’s Guard took on the best army on the other side, and…37 vs 62. Win by 27. 10% to 30% losses, not fatigued to moderately fatigued, you hold the field.

Alzar is next. He cedes +80 to his foe. He gets +35, +30, and 10 for troop class differential. Total? 204 vs 128. Here we go….93 vs 68. Total victory by 102. Result? Alzar lost 20% of his forces, they lost 70%, and are routed too. Boom!

Royal Army vs TAF – 122 vs 77…23 vs 76. Uh oh…..lost by 8. Result? 0% to 10%. TAF holds, Royal Army loses 10% and retreats, no one is tired.

1st TEF vs Douglass – 3:1 odds gives +45 and then +30 to defender and then 130 vs 111….94 vs 53. Result….win by 22 for Douglass. 10% vs 20% losses and moderate fatigue on Thyatian.

2nd TEF gets +45 vs +30 and then 130 to 108…..31 vs 02. 51 win by Thyatians – 20% to 50% losses and moderate vs seriously fatigue.

Longtooth vs Sandralane. 117 for Sandra. 76 for Longtooth….77 vs 54. 64 victory so….30% to 60%. Longtooh flees badly. Moderate vs serious fatigue

Who held the field?

Alzar, Queen s Guard, Sandralane, Douglass

Vs

2nd TEF
TAF

Next time to choose. They have to spilt off two more armies, and TAF splits and TEF splits into 670 in each half.

Q Guard selects TEF
Alzar selects TEF
TAF vs Douglass
TAF vs Sandralane

Reverse order!


No defense bonuses. Sandralane is tired, TAF is not. Sandralane gets +10. 87 vs 77. 66 vs…62. Sandralaine wins by 6.

Result – 0 to 10%, no changes in fatigure, TAF retreats

Douglass vs TAF – No fatigure, no defender, 77 vs 81. Here we go…..69 vs…94. Lost by 20. 10% to %20. Douglass now moderately tired. TAF keep the battlefield.

Alzar gets +10 for beating TEF before, +10 for routing some today, no outnumbered, they are moderately fatigued

184 Alzar vs 75. 36 vs 53. Win by 92. Result? 0% for Alzar, 30% and routed for Thyatis. No tired.

Meanwhile, Q Guard has 135 foe is moderately fatigued. Vs 75….32 vs 60. Win by 32. 20% to 40% and moderate tired for Q Guard.

Result…

Alzar, Q Guard, Sandralane, all still there.

TAF not.

Alzar orders Sandralaine to hold back. The TAF is forced to split into two units as Alzar and the Q Guard move in and both rout their foes.

The result?

TAF is routed and has just 750 which were not routed in losses.
Longtooth lost 60% of its force
Landfall routed and lost 70%
TEF is partially routed, and has 732 forces left retreating
Max I – 30% losses


The massive losses meted out today have ended the war, and peace is sued for soon thereafter.
