Out of character thread XIV

Wow, that was fast. I was hoping both sides would have some time to build up armies first.

Well, either has a full stack (well, Wolfgang has less than a fullstack, but Salza has a few militia), so I guess that counts as "build up", since we are bankrupt and have no capabilities of recruiting any troops.

I forgot one other "battle" for 1316, arguably the most important: Becker (Cecil) and Zirn (Northnovas) at Bucharest.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The Hungarians are maintaining the seige of AHA1 within Bucharest. You have two options:
(1) Have Count Becker sally - hoping your cannons and walls will allow you to overcome a superior, but perhaps passive opponent.
(2) Bring up the Bran garrison and have Karl Zirn attempt to relieve Bucharest. Your forces would be divided, with the main component (AHA1) entering as reinforcements. The odds would be 2:3 against you, but better than if Becker sallies.

Ignoramus and Warluster - why don't you have a trial MP battle using whatever forces you like? If it works, we can set up a battle where your forces roughly correspond to what you have on the campaign map. If it does not work, we will set up a "tabletop" style encounter. Thinking about it, it might be best in three stages: deployment; plan of attack; mid-battle revisions.

I'm pretty concerned about the boy's out east I haev to say.

It's certainly exciting though.
