Since I did not found any other appropriate thread for this, I totally am going to post this here.



QuoteTotal:
2 attackers (165 Arch)
1 defenders (75 other)
Total combat strengths: 1606 vs. 5330

The troops from (rogue) set up defenses because they control the battlefield.
The Silnaria troops attack because they are at war with (rogue).

Strong winds and gusts are making ranged combat a game of luck.

Robin of Arescod, Baron of Galadia is spotted wielding the Sword of Flame.

When I saw the initial report I almost crapped my pants in despair that yet another unit of mine would have been completely wasted. I was surprised when I kept on reading.

Result:

QuoteThe battle lasted for 5 hours.
You have gained 4 Honour and 3 Prestige.
None of your men were killed but 13 were wounded in this battle.
Your unit gains 27 points of Morale. Your men's equipment suffers 34 % damage. Combat training increases by 4 points. Unit cohesion rises 10 points.

Even though it was 1606CS vs a mighty 5330CS, we managed to turn 75 undead into 17 and that with relatively okay losses. Half of the battle being fought in melee that is. I felt heart-warmed by my soldiers, and envisioned a horde of undead charging at Agincourt when I read through the battle. Most glorious.


Are there any other unit commanders who feel immensely proud of their unit? Be careful not to throw anything out here that is realm-sensitive though.
