As promised!
Here is a RESOUNDING defeat where I lost 869 t1 Cavalry and 879 T2 Cav. We'll convert that to XP gained for Amroth and say he gained 3516 worth of XP from the T2 Cav and 2607 XP from the T1 Cav for a total XP gain of 6123 for Amroth.
I also lost 4 commanders, but resurrecting them is better than waiting for their return 
My XP Gain? 11824 from 2956 T2 Cav. OUCH!
Folks, that was a terrible loss for our team! I am not sure I can go on like this.
Failed attack against TKOT_2's forces at Square 429|-52 by StJude's forces from Notre Dame | | Sent By: | System | | Received By: | You | | Date: | 10/4/2011 5:33:23 PM | | Two opposing forces clash against each other. Cavalry comes into its own when able to strike hostile forces at will, and from unexpected directions - and nowhere is this more feasible than on open plains. Lightly armoured spear units, however, prefer terrain where there's some cover available. Fighting defensively on open plains, cavalry draws strength from the ability to form and reform their lines of engagement depending on the direction of battle, and it is here where cavalry excels. | Attackers: | Unit: | Quantity: | Casualties: | Survivors: |

This is a perfect example on why you should never use cavalry on the defensive.
Packsmen take a 28% hit to their total strength 23 defense vs 32 attack Runeriders take a 49% hit to their total strength 29 defense vs 57 attack
Charioteers take a 43% hit to their total strength 21 defense vs 37 attack Knights take a 57% hit to their total strength 28 defense vs 65 attack
There is also a negative to your defense total when occupying a claimed square (6% -10% per level)

Today's military lesson for Amroth (who is actually not very good at this game) brought to you by H? member Anjire.
Amroth, get out a calculator, you may end up learning something.
This is why you need to keep calling in other people to get the job done for you and Champs.

You do realize that that is a square and not the town itself that Amroth and his multi-accounts are occupying before his siege lands, right?

The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemies.
