Well, incompetence: Our old general fell sick (IC workload), I took over, calculated all traveltimes, backtracked possible movements, calculated our own traveltimes, built in a reserve of 1 day, organized the army (with aid from marshals and military council), communicated with Enweil (got contacts to general and marshals), including Enweils chancellor, all were willing to work together, the army was organized within one halfday (building upon an excellent structure left behind by the old general), information was flowing very well (except for ONE halfday wre scoutings of the daimons /movements/ were missing), Riombara marched 22k mobile forces towards Enweil...
all to naught due to one duke of one different realm not being included in the information loop between two other realms and him thus not knowing about our timetable, switching realms (I assume without consulting his peers), not being aware that the resulting speed up of the TO of Feuvenehm would have such drastic results. One small detail.
Thus I beg to differ - its not incompetence, its more of a 'If we are to be able to successfully fight the daimons ALL of 7 different pieces need to work. Fail in one and the whole structure unravels'. Considering the number of people involved, infomation needing to be gathered early in one halfturn, passed on to the general, passed on to the other general, passed on to the army...all within one halfday /where critical/ (as in the situation where we needed to decide wether the daimons were marching against Enweilios or Rines and thus position our army accordingly)....information FLOW (even if all work diligently) is complex, especially considering that it needs to go both directions...then combine THAT with the need for near perfection....
I think the south did act quite well and thorough...for want of one detail it just was not enough.
Hell, well keep trying
