User blog:Leolab/User Siege Tourney, Round 5 of 91: Utter Noob (Celina) v Redkite (Markus)



Celina Lucyna: Rome's feared lady general

Attacking

Markus Thaowan: Commander of Asaea

Prologue
Receiving his mental summons a few moments earlier, Markus Thaowan trudged up the corridor towards his eventual confrontation with the woman walking next to him. He'd been up for most of the night, trying to figure out exactly what the hell was happening, and how any of the small scraps of information he and the others had found fit into anything. More puzzling still was the message he'd received from Lloyd earlier - to meet in the library with Cadwalader after his fight. Trying to clear his mind of the trouble, he tried to make small talk.

"So this is your second time?"

"Yes. I can't remember the first time, except for being in a stone room."

They passed the scoreboard, where each person's attacker and defender points were kept.

"You lost that time, right? Do you think you lose your memory only when you lose?"

"No. Lloyd lost his memory also."

They arrived in the entry hall, the oppressive air cutting off all further attempts at conversation. Leolab was standing there, impassive. He gestured to the two hallways, and each entered.

Tactics: In the event of an enemy attack severals tactics have been established. 3/4 of bowmen are too attend wall while the remaining fraction will work with infantry. On the wall, the bowmen will use wave fire and independant fire. Wave fire involves a unifyed bombardment of Arrows all fired at once, this can be done in rounds but should enemies return fire or come too close, independant fire can be used. On the ground, swordsmen, pikemen and a fraction of bowmen will attend the main gate and await potential entrance. The pikemen will await the forces first with pikes pointing and shields up followed by the swordsmen also with shields up and swords ready, the behind the infantry bowmen will prepare to use wave fire for awaiting enemy. In the event of overwhelment, men will retreat to the inner wall and repeat the same tactic.

Army:

Training:

Before specific roles within the military force is assigned, all men undergo extensive training lasting roughly 7 weeks. This includes extensive running and training to build fighting mentality and moral and unite the men to work together. All are also briefed on fighting tactics and trained to ensure they are capable. After 4 weeks, men are able to choose what role they seek, in the case of a overwhelment of men for a specific role, people will be transfered alphabetically. Men will then recieve training on their chosen role and the weapons associated aswell as tactics involving this.

Leadership:

All 3 unit sections were led by a captain. These captain's were recognisable by their white cape and impressive helmet which has metal extensions featuring a feathers and a soft nilon covering up to their nose so only their eyes are visible. All 3 captains had the weaponary of their unit, but the Pikemen and Archer captains also had swords and the Pikemen's pike had a small flag of Asaea before the metal tip. These captains would communiation with eachother Markus to control tactics.
