They will fight for a few days and then their senates will start crying about war fatigue. They will end up signing a convoluted peace treaty that is so binding it leaves only enough leeway to barely scratch ones own butt. But there will be peace! Oh glorius peace!

Yes, because we have such a history of that...

Kale is good for you.

I salute Barca's courage and unswerving flame letters in the face of the Aurvandilian army. :)

Aurvandil's might, fully mobilized and ready, is lesser than the 'moot's might, unprepared and unmobilized.

I don't expect to require a miracle at all, though indeed Barca's gonna bleed some.

That would imply Aurvandil has brought it's full might to bear, and not instead, left a considerable chunk at home. We don't need to send our full mobile army to deal with Barca, that would just be needlessly expensive in terms of equipment repair.

The scary part:

There's a good chance that he's not bluffing. There's 29 nobles in Rettlewood. That leaves 25 more unaccounted for. Assuming a similar CS to noble ratio, there could be another 25k CS or so out there.

Gotta love the 90/90 Inf RC that seems eternally fully stocked eh ;)

Those are always very nice.

39 nobles, and the really scary part is we still aren't even close to full potential, we had to make sure every noble had enough gold to stay in the field for two-three weeks, as well as keeping gold behind for our other nobles and lords clearing out the rogues in the east, and not all of our units are up to the standards set due to the massive winter time travels to the east and the constant monster outbreaks.

The scout report I saw was 29 nobles, but it's at least one turn old. And I don't know about the units not being up to standard. You were averaging close to 1k CS per unit on the scout report I saw  :P

Well it's 39 now, and the standard is basically 70-80 men of the 90/90 Infantry, obviously much, much higher archers, and about half that for Special Forces. For any other types of Infantry, like the 70/90 the standard is also higher. But with so much fighting in the east we couldn't bring everyone up to the strength in time.

1kcs per unit is about right for Aurvandil, we managed a similar feat when we fought Madina through a lot of training and communal funding.

Full 90/90 is the best.  You just walk into the capital, and come out the next turn with a 1k CS unit.  Constant draft ftw. :)

Aurvandil prides itself on highly efficient drafting, helps that all of our best Infantry RC's are in the capital, or in Tower Fatmilak.

Raw CS numbers are only part of what's going to make this hard. Sure, maybe you can put together more CS, but can you make it turn on a dime?

True. But then you have to consider that the 'moot was probably the least anti-Aurvandil bloc on the continent...
