Heroica RPG - Quest #31: Lions and Lambs

[Brickdoctor]

OOC: Is it possible for me to use a Scroll on her?

QM Note:

No.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Lion Knights A go south, then South East to let the crossbowmen pass. Pikemen A and B both go South West.

[Dharkan]

Lion Knights B move north and attack Lady Leofwena. Pikemen C attack Lady Leofwena. Pikemen D moves north.

OOC: And also you don't need to comment before every move I do...

[Waterbrick Down]

"Master Arthur would it not be best to have those Lion Pikemen C fall further back into the woods drawing Lady Leofwena into the forest where she cannot maneuver as swiftly?"

OoC: Ah now I get it grappling hooks.

[Flipz]

"Master Arthur would it not be best to have those Lion Pikemen C fall further back into the woods drawing Lady Leofwena into the forest where she cannot maneuver as swiftly?"

OoC: Ah now I get it grappling hooks.

"As long as we attack her twice each Round, she can't move, and she gets no free attacks on us and she can't move. I think she wants to get away, not attack us."

[Waterbrick Down]

"Very well then, crossbows advance. Imperials follow me." Skrall led the Imperial Pikemen A southwest 1 hex while the Lion Crossbowmen A followed behind going 1 hex southwest.

Battle Order:

Isabella

Arthur

Alexandre

Skrall

[Flipz]

"If Isaballa's Knights attack and then move north and her pikemen units follow the Knights, and Skrall's Pikemen attack, she won't be able to move, and I can move my last unit of pikemen into position to keep her totally surrounded. Imperial Pikemen, move Southwest! Crossbowmen, Northwest! Next round we attack!"

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Knights- NorthWest 1

Pikemen B- NorthWest 1

Pikemen A- South West 1

Imperial Pikemen, move Southwest! Crossbowmen, Northwest! Next round we attack!"

"Aye, but we would have the same result if the Knights attacked twice and yer pikemen moved North while I brought my crossbows in. Those knights can take a little more damage than the Imperial troops." Skrall looked at troops he had led thus far, they could not withstand a full assault by Lady Leofwena, but the knights skills were undoubtedly more valuable. Skrall gritted his teeth for what could possibly be a slaughter, "Alright men, charge and skewer that rebel scum!" Skrall led the Imperial Pikemen A in an attack against Lady Leofwena as the Lion Crossbowmen A brought up the rear, advancing northwest 1 hex.

"I disagree, my pikemen moving north would have no effect, they cannot attack at range. Plus, by moving Isabella's Knights and pikemen to surround Lady Leofwena, we cut off her escape, meaning that even if she somehow gains the option to move, she can't escape."

[Waterbrick Down]

"Two hits from the knights would keep her too busy to escape. Yer right about yer pikemen though, they could just stay put and I can lead my crossbows behind my pikemen. Either way would work, but enough strategy, let's bring this traitorous wench in!"

[Dharkan]

Lion Knights attacking her and moving north, Pikemen C and D changing position directed to south to open up space for Imperial Pikemen.

"I'd suggest movind Pikemen D Northwest, then she's physically surrounded. But, it's your call."

[Dharkan]

OOC: Oh don't worry, it's me writing the wrong direction again. Of course it is northwest.

In order to save on troop losses I would suggest that only the crossbows and 1 group of knights attack, while the rest of us keep her surrounded until my crossbows come into position.

QM Note:

I'm just going to assume that Isabella's and Arthur's troops listen to Skrall. Let me know if you'd rather they were disobedient.

Since you all have Lady Leofwena bottled up, I think it would be best for me to explore more west.

Pikemen A+B- South West

Knights- South

[Flipz]

"Master Skrall, unless you order otherwise, Imperial Pikemen B will do nothing but remain on alert, while Crossbowmen B will attack. If you do order some other strategy, my troops will submit to your orders."

[Waterbrick Down]

"No need Arthur, our crossbowmen will keep her pinned down, the pikes will just make sure she doesn't try to bolt. Crossbows, fire!" Skrall directed the Lion Crossbowmen A to launch a volley at Lady Leofwena while the Imperial Pikemen A remained in position.

Skrall

Arthur

Alexandre

Isabella

[Flipz]

"We all understand that Isabella's pikemen should do nothing this round, but should Isabella's knights simply stay at guard, or should they strike?"
