Arriving where? Fort Istirus, Skingrad, Shadrock?

I meant Skingrad. Though another army is arriving at the fort and Shardrock. (1,500 for Shardrock, 500 for the fort.)

Right then, I'll do posts for all the locations, Skingrad is tricky though, Rislau is still talking to the Khajiit. There's also not a lot to say for Skingrad.

So let the Khajiit scene end and then begin the next scene

Well I can wait for Skingrad. And the men heading toward the fort will offer a chance for you to surrender as you are surrounded. (west is Rikkus's forces.)

Sybbyl needs to reply, I'm not just going to rush to end a scene that has some promise.

Skingrad will wait then, Fort Istirus is only just surrounded and not exactly not outnumbered either, I have 400 troops inside the fort 100 of them are Knights. What sort of troops have you sent up to the fort?

I'll have 50 archers, 200 heavy infantry, and the rest light infantry. Also you are outnumbered. 500 is bigger than 400. And General Rikkus's (one of elite's characters that's waiting to attack.) forces has 3,000

And remember all of this is happening on the 28th

No that's not what I meant to imply, I meant that the Khajiit scene would end first then you would begin the Skingrad thing (I didn't mean to say rush through it, I meant when that's over you can post for Skingrad's invasion...

The fort is just there to slow your troops down, seriously everything about it is based on Fort George and the British defenders there. They have enough food to last them for a week or so and any troops trying to take the fort are troops you can't send to Skingrad.

true, I will PM Elite to talk about the strategy to take over the fort quickly.

There isn't one. This isn't one of the ruins you see in Oblivion or even the pitiful excuses for forts in Skyrim. This is a fort that has been repaired and restored to be the best it can.

But let's see what we can do though... even if the fort is meant to last for a week long siege. (Something Aventius doesn't have and he knows it.) 3,500 plus a few hundred mercs on the Anvil side would scare the crap out your 400. (At least the devouts though.)

That's the entire reason Knight Commander Enton has been given command there, he knows how to control his men. It's not like you can scale the walls or anything though so defending the fort is pretty easy.

That reminds me, why didn't you send the bulk of your army at the border? It would make sense given the fact that you're at war with your neighbor. I mean even with knights, you can't hold your border with 400. So your fort is bound to fall. Whether if it's quick to fall or not is up to debate.

[Tammie Flint]

That gives me a reason, why didn't you send the bulk of your army at the border? It would make sense given the fact that you're at war with your neighbor.

Because winning a siege as a defender is much much easier than winning a pitched battle on the border, also spreading my forces across the the border would have weakened my entire army.

I see.. Though you could of focused your forces on the road as that's the most common thing armies marched on. Though your fort is bound to fall anyways due to the might of the attacking force. Though whether or not it's quick or not is up to the battle.

That's too much of a risk, as you showed armies don't have to travel by road. As it is Skingrad is in a strong position to defend itself. Yep it'll fall eventually but some of the soldiers will survive, it won't be quick or easy for you, I'll take casualties but you'll take more.

You're right. My armies didn't marched on the roads for the reasons to avoid getting caught. Now that you're about to find out my army is in your country, I might just travel on the road more often. I was talking about how long will the fort siege last. I know that it will be pain in the ass to take Skingrad. Infact, after I take the city, I will stop from there. Recover from the losses. And when my army is fully recovered, help Julius take Bravil and invade the Blackwood.

Taking the city is going to cost you a lot. It's also going to cost you momentum, soldiers are trained to fight and sitting around damages their mentality and moral. The siege could easily last weeks in RP.

But war most of the time is just moving to another location, or just sitting around guarding or doing nothing. (hell this war between us is going on for a couple of days but there is not one battle yet.) I may send a couple of thousand to assist Julius, but I would focus rebuilding what I lost taking the city, then i'll continue my plans to uniting Cyrodiil. As for the siege lasting weeks, that's something I have to agree with you about.

Not if the legion comes in and breaks the siege

Not really, war is about fighting, you bring soldiers to fight, they're trained to fight. Even marching from place to place is doing something, sitting around doing nothing is demoralising. Seeing as it's one of my favorite battles I'm going to cite the Penobscot Expedition here, the Americans landed a force of 870 militia (admittedly pisspoor militia) however they also had 2000 marines and seamen, of which the marines were some of the best troops in the army at the time. They landed against a fort which at the time had waist-high walls manned with 700 hundred redcoats. They failed to take the fort because they lacked momentum, they were unwilling to attack and every minute they spent on the beaches, 25th of July to the 13th of August, was weakening their forces, the militia (made up of press-ganged men) started to desert and they found themselves pinned by the British reinforcements. Momentum was key.
