I'm sorry I've been behind in my actions--School really loaded down on
me with multiple papers due at once, and I just started a new job, too.
I haven't had much time for checking my email.
That said, here are my actions, briefly & belatedly.
Action 1: Invasion!
Single Action
Duke of Caladyn and his forces invade the lands held by General Zenos.
The Duke's primary goal is to pin Zenos' forces in the field and crush
them. His secondary goal is to take control of the towns & cities that
Zenos holds, denying their resources to Zenos.
Difficulty: Hard (-1)
Modifiers:
-The size of the armies in relation to the area available to maneuver
in is small.
-Zenos will probably maneuver to avoid contact initially
Action 2: Defense!
Single Action
General Zenos decides to attempt to refuse battle in the open field
with the Duke's forces. Instead, he begins to maneuver his army into a
strong defensive position in the western foothills near the Tanimbar
border. The General is betting that Duke of Caladyn will not be
prepared to attack a prepared defensive position. Unfortunately, there
is a chance that the Duke's forces will catch up with Zenos's men
before they can reach their destination
Difficulty: Hard (-1)
Modifiers:
-Zenos has quite a distance to march, through rather open ground
-Zenos is reacting to Caladyn's action, so he does not order the march
right away.
Suggestions on Resolution:
Action 1 Success + Action 2 Success:
Zenos reaches his chosen ground, but Duke Caladyn attacks him
anyway. Make a separate roll to determine outcome of battle, with Zenos
receiving a +1 bonus due to good prepared defensive ground.
Action 1 Success + Action 2 Mixed:
The Duke catches Zenos before Zenos can reach the foothills, but
fails to achieve surprise. Roll to determine battle outcome.
Action 1 Success + Action 2 Failure:
The Duke manages to ambush Zenos on open ground. Make a separate
roll to determine outcome of battle, with the Duke receiving a +1 bonus
for surprise.
Action 1 Mixed + Action 2 Success:
Zenos reaches his defensive position successfully. The Duke begins
to besiege it, while detatching some forces to take control of local
population centers.
Action 1 Mixed + Action 2 Mixed:
The Duke's men and Zenos' men skirmish continuously all the way to
the Western Foothills. Both armies are temporarily reduced in Force by
one next year due to exhaustion.
Action 1 Mixed + Action 2 Failure:
The Duke catches Zenos just at the edge of the western foothills,
and brings him to battle. Roll seperately to determine outcome. No
bonus
Action 1 Failure + Action 2 Success:
The Duke couldn't find Zenos if he had a map. By the time the Duke
figures out where Zenos is, it's the end of the campaigning season.
Zenos gets the whole winter to dig in.
Action 1 Failure + Action 2 Mixed:
The Duke's pursuit forces Zenos to take an alternate route west.
Although the Duke never catches up to Zenos, the General reaches the
foothills after the ground has frozen, and is unable to dig in.
Action 1 Failure + Action 2 Failure:
The two armies wander around southern Cedonia chasing each other,
but never manage to come in contact. They do succeed, however, in
denuding the land of food. Resources drop by 1 for next year.
Action 3 & 4
Strategic Double
This is simply a continuation of the Cedonian republicans' metallurgy
project. However, this year, they're taking far more care in vetting
the credentials of the people they hire.
Difficulty: Hard (-1) [I think that's right, anyway.]
