The Charge of Chaos 2

[whacky]

You should also let him know that i did NOT defect and i have created my own faction which serves chaos and evil.

Ok now for the standard battle:
Note: i must let you know Sir M that out troops should keep their alignments straight, you can have only good and i can have only evil, neutral chars are possible if you like.General troops like swordsmen and archers can be common and in huge numbers, but specialised troops like paladins or assasins must be a bit reasonable.
Ok now for the battle

*Orders his pike men to form the face of the army(10000 men) divided equally in four lines, positioned behind them on the cliff are (3000) elite archers and crossbowmen ready to fire on command, hides his assasins(100) somewhere secret. As an added note whacky's bandits pick up the GA's women and leave with them *
Ok a final word on my army
8000 pikemen
1750 archers
1750 crossbow men
500 Assasins
3000 Dread Knights
1000 Ninjas
3 Type V darklings courtesy of Lord Shield

**The six Pikemen boxes form up, right in the path of Whacky's forces. The archers inside are ordered to fire and a rain of arrows fall upon Whacky's men. The swordsmen are moved into the boxes, and use their sheilds as defence agianst an arrow attack. Calaethis's calvary attack both flanks of Whacky's forces, supprising them.**

The main army advances as close as possible but stay behind the pikemen boxes. They all await battle as best a man can.....**

And if you so much as TOUCH our women..... you will face the concequeces!!!! [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img]

Ok now here's the deal the pikemen stand in 6 rows and behind them standing on a cliff are the archers, the archers fire using full advantage of the height. The pikemen slowly start moving forward with the first row trying their best to block the arrows using shields.

P.S. Not too shabby for a first timer eh !

[Sir Mandorallen]

Pretty good Whacky! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] But Pikemen can't and don't use sheilds, the pike is too long and is two-handed. Good idea thou.

**Whacky's forces advance upon the pikemen boxes moving straight into a field of metal, many fall, but many G.A. pikemen do as well. As pikemen fall, the box contracts, as G.A troops shift to keep the formation. The swordsmen inside start to move out and engage Whacky's forces as well.**

**Suddenly a order is shouted, and the commanders relay it across the field. The main army, 10,000 strong begin to advance. The archers let loose their arrows, on the mass of pikemen battling, stiking both those who Whacky controls and those in the G.A. The swordsmen in their straigt lines advance into hte mele, slaying all they can.**

**While the battle in the front may be on the side of the G.A., on the flanks is another story. Calaethis's calvary are taking heavy losses, as Whacky's forces contract upon them. They begin to fall back Southward toward the rear of Whacky's forces**

A pikeman expecting a lot of misslie fire might carry a shield to battle, securing it on his back or dropping it to the ground when the time came to use the pikes
Of course, they wouldn't be using the shield while advancing as they needed both hands to carry the pike along...

[whacky]

Whoops!! Sir M's army is ambushed by whacy's assasins, many fall but so do some of his assasins, with their initiative losts after a few rounds they decide to retreat back into the woods, looking for another moment to strike. The ambush is followed by a very co-ordinated and well planned attack by the ninjas(combat+death specialists) which ignore the pikemen shield due to their superior agility and excellent martial art skills and take out quite a few archers out, but unfortunately for whacky, Sir M's forces slaughter any ninja that they can catch!

[Sir Mandorallen]

Yeah, thats what I mean Legolas. With all of his Pikemen advancing, he, obviously couldn't use shields. If he had more in reserves he could have them use them though.

Thanx agian.

You seem to just jump in helping out all the time.

[Sir Mandorallen]

**As Sir Mandorallen watches he grows more and more vexed. Assasins came out of nowhere and slew almost twice thier number. Luckly they lost quite a few of their own. Then right afterward Ninjas sneak past his pikemen killing many. The last wasn't so bad as the Ninjas lost so many it most likely wansn't worth it, but that was beside the point.**

**The main battle was a good as over, with Whacky's pikemen all but obliterated. But that was not enough. Many more enimies are still present. And Sir Mandorallen had lost a good deal of men. He signaled for the cavalry to attack. Three archers with bows, nearly as tall as they were fired flamming arrows to signify the attack.**

**Sir Mandorallen grimiced. He would have sent an Asha'man to send the message, but they were too busy at Domoni(sp) Wells to help. The arrows would do, however. Soon behind Whacky's forces horses could be seen. Many horses. 5000 heavy calvary, almost immune to arrows came riding up the cliff straight into Whacky's archers. Also nearly three thousand of Calaethis's calvary were there, the only ones left from the feint attack on the flanks.**

**Sir Mandorallen grinned. Today was going to be a good day.**
