Re: V&V OOC/Signup Thread I
Aargh! Hungarians! Curses! Looks like Leo has to turn back again...NB, if I were you I'd retreat to Wien where you can wait out a siege until I get back to relieve you. Or try a sally with the troops there but I don't like your chances as you have no horse to speak of and not many missiles.Originally Posted by Cecil XIX

Re: V&V OOC/Signup Thread I
Ya, I am going to have to fall back to Wien and make a stand there, hopefully reinforcement arrive in time. If any additional troops can be trained there it would greatly improve my chances of surviving an assault if you can't make it soon.

Re: V&V OOC/Signup Thread I
I can get back there this turn to relieve the siege, or potentially just send back some troops for you while I carry on to Innsbruck and hire more mercs.
We'll see when we get the next save.
Hopefully this is the last major Hungarian army for a little while, eh?

Yes please, I don't even understand where that army came from.

An impressive battle Tristan, I hope you post something about it in the Battle Reports thread. I take it most of your casualties were from the crossbows?

Re: V&V OOC/Signup Thread I
I'll be sure to post something in the Battle report thread though there'll be few screenshots, the battle was too tense for me to think about taking some...
The casualties were mostly from Xbows though not as much as one would think... I managed to keep them on the move, preventing them from reloading... I could perhaps have achieved better results if I had managed to kill the army general sooner...
I had my finger on the Withdraw button when the Victory screen appeared.
Cavalry truely rules !!
Not so much... After the first charge, most missile units were on the move and I had only to run after them until sufficient losses made them rout... Same goes for the peasants... A single well-timed charge made them rout as well. The first militia unit routed when charged from the rear by the mercs while trying to catch my general.
My biggest problem and fear was the last militia unit... I was down to less than 15 men overall against 100... And with men exhausted with meant that their charges were almost without effect...
Oh, and thanks for all the praise... I had to make do with what I had or have Lothar sit on his butt doing nothing...

Re: V&V OOC/Signup Thread I
In terms of the "marching west from Magdeburg to get to Frankfurt" thing (see the Diet post), Theo can't reach the city with infantry this turn. However, if he marches west before this turn ends, he'll get pretty close to the city, and it would only take a couple more tiles of movement to get there on the next turn. Therefore, I'm thinking the movement order for TCV and myself in the next turn or two should go something like this:
- This turn, TCV moves west with his army.
- Turn ends
- Next turn, TCV moves a few more tiles west and is in position to reinforce the assault on Frankfurt
- I assault Frankfurt with TCV's army as reinforcement
- TCV takes the save and heads back east

Ha ha, no kidding. Actually I'm surprised, I always figured you were older than me Igno.Igno, why are you even on this forum right now?! Go back out there and keep making terrible decisions!
Incidentally, I've sent a PM to mini. He's not been on the .Org since January though, so if I don't get a response by the start of the next turn than I'll go and hand Harolde to Ignoramus.
Re: V&V OOC/Signup Thread I
We should be careful not to bite off more than we can chew in Poland. They are likely to have some large armies back there.
We do have a rule in place that the capture of a settlement should be authorised by Edict in the Diet - I don't think it's strict and we certainly haven't been enforcing it so far, but maybe the plan of attack on Poland (and of course Milan once Innsbruck is recaptured) should be discussed so we can work as a team? Might be easier to do this here OOC though...

As a general rule, it's best to discuss things IC rather than OOC whenever possible. It provides for a more immersive and enjoyable experience.

Quick update: phonics, I'm going to try to get to your PM, but I turn 21 (and am American) in the next hour and a half or so and fully plan to spend the next 48-ish hours drunk. Therefore, I may not be in a real position to answer you or anyone else for a bit.

Well then, since we're all revealing our doomrings, since Thursday last week I am 22 years old. Or possibly 23. When you get as old as I am, it gets difficult to keep track of these things.
