Given that we did force march to arrive here late, the company must be strung out down the road. Those of you who have arrived ? Start piling up the barricades. It won't be much, but it might buy is a moment.

They always arrive in lockstep. Old soldiers say the earth shakes as the legion marches but don't believe it. They might outnumber us, but they're only human.

For the most part.

We'll make our stand here! The barricades will slow them down, and and each live lost is time for some of the civlians to flee by the eastern road.

Stand firm, remember your training. If you had it.

For those of you who have already ecaped the meat grinder, take a moment to recover.

This isn't over, but you're still alive. That counts for something.

While the enemy refuels, we'll be attempting to cross Howarth's Crossing and bring the villagers with us. Fort Valor was the lynchpin of this front, and as it has fallen we have no other option than attempt to reach the city of Isfelt.

After taking Crow's Bridge, the Pytherian Sigilcraft will need to refuel. That buys us time.

With the loss of Captain Albretch, we don't know the predispositions of other forces or any plans for the eventuality of Valor falling. With the concentration of forces at Fort Valor, we may then be the only functioning military unit in this area, and that leaves protecting the civilian bagge train to us. They'll cross the river first, and then we will follow once they're safely over.

Our last survey tells us that the river can be crossed two places reliably. Albrecht knew the land better than anyone, but even without his knowledge we can be assured the river cannot have changed in course.

We will have to hold the river crossing. The water should slow down the Legionaires and Carlsteen tells me no Effigyslave will willingly cross running water without great cajoling so the river will act as a natural barrier to any Risen the Pytherians conjure. They can be still be forced to march through it however, so I would be on watch for any Theurgs forcing them to do so near the river itself.

Any preperations our scouts wish to engage in?

With Albretcht's death, command of his forces fall to us. We're undersupplied and undermanned, however, and even with everything we could scavenge from Crow's Bridge we only have

For the sake of sanity, it should probably be made clear here that [SPECIALIST SQUADS] only offer skill training.

So you can pick up Field Engineering, Abjuration, Alchemineering, Artillerists, Officers OR the skills one could originally learn - Dodge, Dirty Tricks, Poison and Traps.

>>1038206
The leader - which is commonly the main unit - can use Command. Hence the tiny star. But that's really the entire unit, and they can just delegate it out. More prof used just increases chance of benefits. So entire unit. You're all command staff (clerks).

For officers and artillerists, the entire squad is cross-trained and so they may all aid together.

Yes, you can pick things multiple times. It gets expensive.

Levelling up a full class rank is a bevy of benefits. You just pay 10 XP, then 20xp, then 30xp etc and it gets you a full package. For a squad you'd get +5 to 2 skills and a doctrine or specialist training the first time, the same the 2nd time, the same the 3rd time etc - but of course the 2nd and 3rd times cost a magnitude more.

Having made our escape from Crow's Bridge, we can all take a moment to recover our bearings.

Well, we planted the flags as requested. Unfortunately, we spilled the bag of caltrops and it was all we could do to scrape them back where they were supposed to be.

One of the wagons the villagers were riding in broke an axle, and we converted a few bits of detritus to some improvised barricading. Given the few hours of effort, it's all right for what it gets us.

Any other plans?

>>1038276
We should hide some of the knights of errantry in the Forrest on the left, on a signal they could charge an enemy from a flank or rear!
It would be glorious.

Right now, i'm thinking we need more men. I suggest Veterans. We can have them set up behind the barricade or hidden in the forest, pelting the enemy with arrows. And if they manage to reach them, they have those nice, sharp blades.

Counter suggestion; knights plugging the gaps in the barricades, with squads and practitioners providing ranged support. We have the terrain advantage; exploiting it seems wise.

>>1038293
they have sigiltanks silly, they can nuke the camp from the other side of the river, also now our shortbows are even worse which mean that we won't hit them

Thankfully after capturing Crow's Bridge the hostile Sigilcraft will need time to refuel and restock.

Convocant Carlsteen assures me that the effects of pressuring Sigilcraft to go beyond the capabilities of the bondengine would be dramatic, so we can count our blessings there.

>>1038299
"Why don't we attack the village then? We might capture or disable some sigilcrafts while they are inoperable"

>>1038299
so are you saying that there are a bunch of Sigilcrafts with little to no infantry support refueling back in the village?

>>1038302
"We are trying to save the people, Armstrong, not take villages. There isn't enough of us to take the, all, we might as well kill those peasants ourselves."

>>1038305
we don't need a full frontal assault, just a small force, if we attack them the enemy they will either send reinforcements to the village, which mean less enemies in the river, or risk losing the Sigilcrafts

>>1038306
"Do you remember how many of them were still there when we left? And what will we do with the villagers, leave them undefended? It's not safe, i tell you."

>>1038308
"Yes I remember, and those same legionaries are the ones chasing us, which means that they will be no longer there, the enemy don't have enough troops to both defend the Sigilcrafts and attack the river crossing"

>>1038279
Apparently the customization thing at the bottom of the updated unit page gives you these bonuses for a drawback if you choose to take them. Sorry if I caused any confusion.
>>1038276
Perhaps we should dig in until the situation allows us to get to our destination

>>1038309
"Dosen't that make you think? Maybe they had more soldiers coming. They wouldn't just leave Sigilcrafts undefended. Plus, there's a chance we will meet the legionnaires that are chasing us if we go back."

i admire the Spirit. If you wish to lead a vanguard assault, ready your men and pledge your forces.

"Ok you are right, according with our scouts they have a whole legion sitting in that village, forget what I said"

>>1038319
I'm afraid I dont know about that since the Company commander hasn't said otherwise. If he does I'll change it.
>>1038316
Thats clearly a deathtrap to assault

>>1038321
No he's right.
One drawback per boon.

>>1038316
"Unfortunately, I can't pledge more than myself. If there's not enough volunteers, attacking the village would have no sense".

It's unclear, and the Clerks at Central Command apologies. The Customization is meant to aid those returning to the front after their previous unit suffered a mishap, and does in fact get you the entire +10 skill, Dodge 20 and a single level up benefit (Oath, Doctrine, Specialist, also Regalia if interested).

The drawbacks /are/ drawbacks and Command feels it prudent to point out that being cursed in this kind of war is a very raw deal.

Still, to catch up and reach the apex quicker, it might help.

>>1038325
Elementalist Kejan, you would need to specify what [Effect] you are hoping to imbue into your personal accroutements.

It's limited to something you have seen yourself, or we have experienced in field, but otherwise those restrictions we can facilitate.

Perhaps you can think of something yourself?

>>1038323
It has no sense now, WE hold the -admiteddly very poorly- defended position, let's shore up what we have and let them struggle coming to us, surely the band of wildlings and those scoundrel looters can set up more surprises.

>>1038276
"The area between the passages in the barricade is a liability - the cliff will keep the forces at one passage from reinforcing the other, while the enemy is free to move his forces at will. I propose to cut the trees around the middle tent and make them into a ramp up the cliff"

>>1038284
add another 2 recruits to my unit -2 supplies
>19 supplies left

>>1038276
"Let's also set up a surgeon at the southern flag"

>>1038276
I suggest we set up a line of recruits behind our defences to wear down the enemy until they meet our forces.

>>1038328
May I know the exact details on [Penetrating] and whether the effect applies to all of my spells?

>>1038377
[Penetrating] trades 1 prof to make next attack or effect for the ability strike ½ DR.

Pytherian Velites practice it with vigor.

Could I place punji pits across the road on the opposite bank before the battle starts?

>>1038432
You bastard.

>>1038456
Thanks, Command.

>>1038456
Sir! Would it be possible for me to chop down that tree thats a ways off to the right and use its wood to reinforce our barricades? Mainly asking since I have the engineer skill now I dont want them overrun as easily as last time.

>>1038479
Certainly.

Also it occurs to the eggheads here at Command that we never quite explaine the precise metric for building stuff.

==SO YOU WANT TO BUILD A WALL==

Barricades and buildings have INTEGRITY. This is their effective coverage and estimate of HP. INTEGRITY applies its current value as damage reduction to incoming damage. That's the benefit of not having fleshy bits. To fully destroy an INTEGRITY 3 Barricade, you would need to chop it for 4 damage at minimum to dent it and 6 damage in 1 attack to destroy it.

>Sidenote - Knights are strong, keep this in mind

If you are STANDING BEHIND a barricade, it naturally provides its INT as DR to you versus shots that go through it and you also benefit from COVER at a value = 5 x the INT. Behind your common INT 2 Wooden Barricade, everyone has 10 COVER versus ranged attacks. On more effective stone crenelations, a holdout archer enjoys a 20 COVER bonus and a 4 DR effective vs attacks - safe in the knowledge all non-crits, non-arc attacks will strike the barrier first and either get bounced off or start ablating the barrier.

EXplosive or Powerful attacks deal damage to INT straight, discarding any DR it has. If you want to blow up a wall, use bombs. Hiding behind stone crenelations will not protect you from sigilcraft Weeper munitions.

To CONSTRUCT SOMETHING, one dice roll vs [Skill] gets you 1 success - and 1 success is equal to 1 point of INTEGRITY.

To construct a 1point barricade in 3 hexes, you would need 3 SUCCESES.

To construct a GOOD barricade in 3 hexes, you would need 9.

1 Supply buys 1 Success in addition to however much time you wish to dedicate to the project. Materials that are on-site can also be repurposed to aid you.

WOOD - INT 1
STONE - INT 3
CONCRETE - INT 5
HARDENED CONCRETE - INT 7, Armor 7
METAL - INT 10, Armor 10
VANADIN - INT 14, Armor 14

You can work materials to increase their resistance / integrity with your succeses. You can't improve something to more than 3x their normal value unless you're REALLY THAT GOOD (you're not, it's a special skill). This just naturally hardening barricades, adding extra failsaves or slathering on more materials. So using 3 pieces of WOOD, I cunningly move them to 3 hexes - and then I improve them with my [SiegeCraft] to become INT 2 Barriers. Total effort - 3 Prof assuming total success. Total effort to build this on my own, with no materials, using only shovels and dirt? 6 Prof, assuming total success.

Naturally barricades also work as BRIDGES or GATES or RAMPS - and they can adaquately support = their INT in TOTAL UNITS at one time.

Pytheria Legionaires are renowed for building, utilizing and then dismantling their own bridges to cross any barrier that prevents them from assaulting their foes.

The same metric applies for building TRAPS or STAKES or PITFALLS or BOMBS - 1 success = 1 point, so a 4 succes punji-pit inflicts 4 damage on the first unfortunate soul to wander into it wheras a 4 success alchemical bomb would be quite nasty

>>1038680
Keep in mind for ALCHEMINEERING and TRAPS that Materials & Supplies auto-add succceses.

Fireflowers, water gems or crystalized wind can quickly turn even the most inept alchemineer into a battlefield force.

Unfortunately BUILDINGS are the only thing you can successively improve. If you're making gadgets, bombs, poisons or other tools of your nefarious trade, you dedicate your PROF ahead of time and you roll with what you get; so throw in a few supplies to ease the potential burden. Or study under an Actual Field Alchemineer to figure out the secrets of [Slow Cooking].

>Or to put in another way - Spending 3 turns in the corner making a D18 bomb is impossible unless you pick up special skills

>>1038690
I'd like to deploy 556 of the NE flag and fortify that position with some sandbags/trenches

>>1038456
Another idea I just had: a 3-hex-long deployable bridge. It may allow us to charge into their vulnerable flank and take out some mages who thought they're safe behind the river.

>>1038799
I question the use of such a fortification when there is already a crossing two hexes wide in the bottom left corner of the map.

>>1039069
The will be occupied by enemy forces. A light bridge could be deployed unexpectedly and lead right to most vulnerable parts of the enemy formation.

>>1038799
I think we're out of supplies and time to build such a thing.

but you can cross the river if you really must, it would simply slow you down.
