The Battle Report

Yes, i thought we could all post the battle reports here. Just makign this thread so no OOC thread is getting clogged up by them

Actually I should have started writing a paper for university today, but I just weren't in the appropriate mood, so I killed time by making a synopsis of the battle.

Silvermist Rangers	Shadow Legion	Eventide	Veccavi
position: rear cliffs	position: coast road	position: flanks of the Legion	disembarking scout force
			scout force advances, discovers carriage
Rangers shoot scouts before they can report back
new ruse: fake king	Lucius Valerius takes the role of the fake king in the carriage		Veccavi troops take the bait and start disembarking
	Legion charges downhill in close formation		first wave charges up the beach
rangers start firing	Marcus calls for help	Eventide knights charge in from the flanks	first wave is utterly crushed
firing	fighting	fighting	remaining soldiers of the first wave retreat back to the beach where the rest of the troops start disembarking
firing	fighting	Eventide knights are trapped between retreating Veccavi and freshly disembarked troops
rangers support the Eventide's retreat	Legion cavalry rushes to the help of the Eventide
rangers shoot fire arrows at the ships	Legion retreats uphill to the road	Eventide knights and Legion cavalry retreat to the right hand side flank of the Pendor troops	ships are set aflame, disrupting disembarkment
most of the rangers reposition on the cliffs near the road			Veccavi elite force advances
rangers build makeshift catapults	parlay between Marcus and the Veccavi commander		battered Veccavi forces regroup
catapults start bombarding the Veccavi, rangers concentrate fire on the women			women charge north, krom and kral slaves towards the Legion
firing			Veccavi light the flame wall before their infantry can reach it
firing			the whole army charges north
northern rangers target Veccavi horses to break their charge	Legion moves north to support the Eventide	Eventide charges Veccavi cavalry
southern auxiliaries refuel the flame wall	legion crushes into the Veccavi forces	heavy fighting, northern auxuliaries crushed	heavy fighting
southern auxiliaries move north, reinforcements arrive	reinforcements arrive	reinforcements arrive	Veccavi charge is crushed
southern rangers move north, Raven Spear and Immortals attack the Veccavi from behind	fighting	Eventide reunites with other Pendor forces	women move/flee north, kral and krom guards flee back to the ships, archers start attacking Pendor forces from behind
southern rangers and auxiliaries attack Veccavi archers	Legion drives back the kral and krom to the beach	knights start carrying away the wounded	archers are crushed, the fleeing pursued by Clarion Call and Windrides

After that negotiations with the remaining krom and kral guards begin.

I hope I got it all right, but feel free to change anything you don't like, Mordred.

Nice, but Lucius is not (yet) a centurio, he was a legionary footsoldier although an exceptionally brave one. For RP purposes i'd like to promote him as Marcus's assistant and bodyguard.




Appropriate casualties for the Legion is around 40, since 20 dead on horseback and 20 dead on foot from my RP. Centurion Catullus was wounded.

Thank you very much for your work Iskar. It really saves me the trouble to go through the entire thread again.

Very nice!

I am away this weekend, but DiabloDude has all the details and analysis I did behind the scenes so should be able to help with casualaties et-al.

What are our casualties? I am posting my report now, but I need to know the casualties, at least those of my Order.

I'll send out PMs with casualties immediately.

What is the total number of surviving krom and kral guards? We need this information for the royal council...

Yeah, Eventide can present it in their battle report.

The total number of Krom/Kral that surrendered are around 2,000 men, I assume you're not going to do a head count on the way to the king.

The actual number can be as low as 1,500 and as high as 2,300.

Also, there were Veccavians that escaped the battle, A fraction of what was deployed, but enough to be notable.

We already took care of that. The Windriders and Clarion Call hunted down many of them and we told the nearby villages, Dagon castle and Windholm to be on the lookout and double their patrols.

Just a small question regarding the casualties. Diablodude, you said that the casualties included those too wounded to fight. Does that mean too wounded to fight for the moment, or real disablements, constantly eliminating them from military usage?

Eliminated from usage. When I am back in action on Tuesday (so long as the Liberation is over, and reports are up which by then they should be) I will be calculating the new recruits / promotions for each Order.

Well, not much left to say on this event except for: We made it and it was great fun. Thanks to all participants and game masters for this!

Same here. Now waiting for the mini-events.
