Good points. But remember that the Welsh won't know what is going on as it is night, so they will have to guess as well. We hope they'll think the King is escaping and send their all the get him (as it is unlikely they will be able to sort out their troops in short notice). Then the second force will hit them. Simple, but not so simple that they can anticipate it.Originally Posted by Kraxis
I think the problem is everyone has his own ideas of how the sally should go. But I think we all agree the first group should be mounted to make it look like the King is trying to escape. This group should be able to fend of the enemy for quite some time, so it should consist of reliable men. However, I agree with Kraxis that we would waste our mobility if we sent all our knights with the first group, so perhaps it should consist of mounted quality-infanty? The second attack should have a least one or preferably two powerful cavalry units (one as reserve), if there are enough horses available.
Oh, and who says the king should be in the first group? An impersonator would do just as well, no?
