That is not a lot of information to make strategic decisions around...

Yeh the post ate a line, fixed :v

I think you meant 'Siberia' for Asia, not 'Serbia'

Your order the sentries to signal the raiders to ride westwards and help the reinforcements before its too late!

6 _auugh!

The Cataphracts must've been too occupied by the reinforcements from Luathbas, because they did not see your raiders incoming! The mighty, armored, fearsome Parsian cavalry was taken in a pincer attack and even against that their prized unit cannot fight well.

The Cataphracts are decimated and sent running! This also causes the Parsians encamped around Abur to abandon their posts and flee in chaos!!

By the afternoon your raiders, alongside the reinforcements, with only some of them wounded or dead, arrive at Abur fortress - behind them come wagons full of war supplies. A messenger also arrives, bringing news from the court.

Apparently, despite initial threats, Lametanians failed to follow up on them, and the southern border is suspiciously quiet.
Also, by the Summer, a group of dwarves have arrived, inquring about the tomb and its area, as they wished to convert it into a temple of their fallen hero. The advisor and your Mother rejected the idea, but allowed the dwarves to visit the site and remove the treasures and the dead within.
By Midsummer, the court hath learned of the Siege at Abur, and therefore have sent these reinforcements to you. Unfortunately, they had to rely on mercenaries again, and because both the spirits of populace and Treasury numbers are rather low, they cannot promise that they will be able to send any more this year; your Queen Mother hopes that you can defeat the Parsians quickly.

You now have the supplies, fresh reinforcements, and the Siege of Abur has been successfully broken! The rampant (and very, very alcohol-infused) celebrations amongst your exhausted soldiers last till morning.

Few days later, your military commanders appear for an audience with you. They say that, while Abur fortress is safe, and so is the local area, eastwards, the besieged outposts - if not lost outposts - are still an issue to deal with. After lenghty debate, you decide to...

A) Leave only a small garrison at Abur, and march out with rest of Army to retake the eastern parts of Augas province in a show of Luathbas strength!
B) Keep the Abur moderately garrisoned, and send small detachments of horsemen to harass enemy singular units, forward camps and maybe even supply lines.
C) Send no one else but scouting parties to gather information for the next week or so.

You tell the messenger to go back and advise Lord Amar to prepare for more bloodshed!

Next day, Lord Amar's forces listen to your advice and attack once again!

7!*

This attack is different, however; the Parsians soon into the attempt lose coordination and they break into retreat more easily, and more haphazardly. Something must've happened...


After a lull in the attacks for almost a week, one day, your sentries on the highest towers report that the Parsian Cataphracts were, for some reason, moved to the very opposite of the main camp; that being to the west of Abur Fortress. A small contingent of footsoldiers has been sent westwards with the Cataphracts as well.

This information stirs your commanders, who ask for a council. During the council, it is decided that...

A) Nothing will be done about this development.
B) The detached Parsian Cataphracts shall be attacked in hopes of crippling them!
C) The weaker protected main camp of the Parsians will be raided!

You ask the Luathbas cavalry to strike the heart of enemy camp in glorious charge to threw the Parsians into chaos!

2*

The attempt goes poorly; while the charge took the Parsians by surprise, they managed to recoil; when Luathbas horsemen were nearing the tents of the officers, suddenly the mighty Parsian Cataphracts fell onto their flank, crushing the lightly-armored Luathbas riders into fine meaty paste.

Less than fifty horsemen returned from the charge.

One day after the unsuccessful charge, a messenger from Parsian camp have arrived at the gate. The gaudily colored man brings an invitation by Lord Amar, leader of Parsian Army, for negotiations.

Your commanders debate the proposal. During that, the commander stationed the longest in Augas and therefore having largest knowledge about their battle customs, explains:

"My liege, Parsians seldom agree to negotiate. If they do, then it's either because they plan a deception, maybe even assassination, or because they are suddenly in a dire need to stall, either to buy themselves time or to avoid fighting on two fronts. They do not negotiate for actual peace unless they're truly defeated and broken." After further debate with other commanders, you have a reply for the messenger, and that is...

A) You agree to meet with Lord Amar in his camp, with proper bodyguard detail at your side, of course.
B) You reject the proposal and advise Lord Amar to prepare for more bloodshed!

Now please stand by so I updoot HP spoiler .'v Aaand done that too!

You therefore order part of the forces to march out and break through the western, perceived weakest, part of the enemy encirclement!

1

This attempt went, to be honest, terribly. Not only the weakest point wasn't broken through, there were also heavy casaulties amongst those attempting it.

Not more than few days later, the Parsians attempt another attempt to storm the walls!

6*

Just as your forces bled themselves trying to break through the encirclement, so did the Parsians bleed themselves on the heavily fortified walls of Abur Fortress! Thousands of their soldiers lose their lives for nothing.


Your forces managed to recover a bit from the earlier attempt, and the Parsians seem to be content with waiting you out.

"MY YOUNG LIEGE!" The Marshal booms. "We should try again, otherwise the Parsians will soon recover the losses to their siege equipment and will thus have great chances at conquering the fortress!"

A) Verily! The Luathbas cavalry shall storm the main encampment of the Parsia.
B) Verily! Let's try again with breaking through western part of Parsians encirclement.
C) Nay! Sitting and waiting is what we ought to do this time!
