Troop breakdown:
5,500 Longbowmen
1,900 Horsemen
3,500 Men-At-Arms

Longbowmen are to focus on the Northern host from a far range until they get closer, while the men-at-arms prepare spears, swords and shields to defend against horsemen. The footmen (Barret, Francis, and Earl included) are to then rip through the opposing host's defenses--while the longbowmen continue to batter the enemy army, now focusing more on the rear of their host (Where the Reachmen are -not-). The horsemen are to split into 20 smaller groups (all in wedge formation) and charge the northmen at all flanks, the rear and the front line.

As a note, Barret, Francis, and Earl are to be well defended, despite in the fray of battle.

[The Smith]

200 Northmen hold the line as 800 northmen retreat up the road that leads to Torrhen's Square. The other 1,000 begin to withdraw down an eastern road.

[syd]

All horsemen are to charge full speed at both groups. Longbowmen are to shoot upon both groups.

[The Smith]

The two hundred rear guard charge at the longbowman.

As the horses approach archers from those groups fire into their midsts.

ooc-Where are Barret, Crane and Merryweather?

[syd]

(The longbowmen are behind infantry, so the infantry would be defending them first). The commanders are now riding with the horsemen.

Battle Results

OOC: Man would it be embarassing to be one of those three reachmen that died.
