The Crusade against SA

[Vellos]

Why did Averoth have so much cavalry?

That seems like a very foolish choice for defending a fortress.

Perhaps they needed something for a fast getaway?

[Gustav Kuriga]

All I know is, my men had fun (at least the ones who didn't die...).

Nice.

They don't have good infantry centers - they DO have an exceedingly nasty cavalry center though - 95/60. Their infantry on the other hand are 55/55 and 55/70. I have no idea what size those centers are, but for punch they needed cavalry. Also, keep in mind that the Averothian army was built for campaigning in the field. They *did* need more infantry, certainly, but I assume they had the biggest army they could afford. Disbanding existing powerful cavalry units to replace them with infantry doesn't seem like a good use of limited resources. Besides, the cavalry charge did push us off the walls for one turn.

Bah.... LE didn't show up at the battle. :(

We were just having too much fun on Mother's Day.

I spent mine at the Emergency Department of my local hospital with a screaming 2 year old. :(

She sounded a lot like those defeated Averothians.

HAHA  nice!

Ah, I guess Averothians have healthy lungs then. The northern air can be quite refreshing I guess.

So let me revise: Averoth shouldn't have gotten themselves in a 5 on 1 war.

And I have noticed that Haruka Vanimedle' (The apostrophe at the end is not a typo! It's a...Klingon name or something?) is no longer on Dwilight. Why haven't I heard a "Good riddance" from people in LE or something?

I didn't even realize she was gone.   After Thulsoma was destroyed I quit paying any attention to her.

He uses the ' because one of his previous families was Vanimedle, so I believe he can't reuse that name.

If anyone is interested, this is the battle report of Valkyrja.

I think the character is paused.

Well, here are some of them"

Recruitment Center breaking down   (7 hours, 38 minutes ago)
The Infantry recruitment center for "Cordon-D'Anerville's HonourGuard" in Valkyrja is suffering from a lack of maintenance and parts of it have fallen into disrepair. Its effective size has dropped to 2.

That leaves them one middle-of-the-road infantry center, one cruddy MI (high training, low weapons], and two nice cavalry centers.

Also, keep in mind that the Averothian army was built for campaigning in the field. They *did* need more infantry, certainly, but I assume they had the biggest army they could afford.

I can attest to the fact that the Averothian army was devastating in the field. Lots of nobles with smallish units, extremely high cohesion and reliability. A dangerous enemy in the military sense.

More broadly, I think this spells the beginning of the end for the anti-SA alliance. Astrum did indeed have a very difficult time sustaining a three-front war (monsters included), as predicted by some. However, Astrum's enemies did not exploit this to the necessary extent to permanently swing the momentum of the war, and now it looks like things are about to swing decisively the other way.

Talk about 'waking the giant'.

If I was an Averothian, I would join Caerwyn and continue my vendetta against the stars. Imagine if everyone would do that. Makes Caerwyn a lot stronger, while Corsanctum and Morek have long travel times to reach the front lines of Caerwyn. Interesting..  ;)
