Dynasty

[Kagemusha]

3000 knights and 4000 cumans is awfully small amount for their entire army. The numbers for Rudolph army sound real enough, but in the historical battle the Hungarians had 18 000 men with them, so we are missing almost the entire Hungarian army, so we can prepare to be flanked or attacked on our rear. About the ambush my intention was never to deploy our personal force behind our camp, but between the battle and our camp. To be honest i dont like where we are heading one bit, but we cant turn back any more as our army would probably disintegrate at that point.

As we dont have a map of the battle area.What really is the distance between Rudolph´s army and our camp? Do we have any idea about any other enemy formations moving into our direction, on our flanks or our rear,anything? If Rudolph really is alone on this side of the river with mere 3000 knights. We should crush him first. Without the Kaiser the morale of his army would surely collapse. If he has foolishly divided his army so.Our two first contingents should tie him up and our third contingent should strike him at the flank and rear. Still i dont think thats the case. Kaiser has studied the ground, hid part of his army from us and at the right moment he will flank or strike us to the rear. Or maybe the rest of his army is on that downward slope behind him, which we cant see, waiting that we will run out of steam.I cant see now other options other then to drop our visors and fight and most likely loose.

I wont comment on the micromanagement much. Its obvius that by putting his more light knights in front Rudoph wants to absorb our first strike and then countercharge with his own heavy ones., but if our reserve will be light armed.We dont stand a chance against a flanking force with superior numbers. Maybe our only real chance is killing the Kaiser by striking him with all we have, like i explained earlier. In a prolonged battle our changes are most likely to falter.
