Subject:Victorious defense by Feonite's forces at Square 500|-500 under attack by Warrior Bunny's forces from Larkeslia
Two opposing forces clash against each other.

Swordsmen, and especially cavalry, find attacking into very mountainous terrain difficult - although ranged units can excel.

Narrow passes and gulleys hinder any mounted units' ability to defend adequately. Nimble spear units have no such worries here, and defending bowmen are able to use their height advantage to maximum effect.

Once you have commited this much troops to a position holding on to it seems the only choice and hoping for the best.
I can understand VIC is holding on to that flag..... I feel if they would change their focus it would feel a little like defeat.
 
It strikes me as pouring good money after bad...

Maybe we can get some input from VIC directly on these topics.  (nudge, nudge)
 
I want to give a shout out and props to my Very Good Friend, The Most Honorable Pasi/Rymis (peace).  He has made his 1st appearance in the tourney at the north flag.  And grand entry indeed!  He captured the flag for Peace with an engagement causing 3,797 casualties.  Word of caution...Pasi fields big armies.

VIC don't have a position at the moment and haven't had one all tournament... they are attacking a very well defended H? position.. keep up.

ditto what I just said

sure, now they've throw so many troops down the same drain... all I was saying was that if VIC wanted a flag so they could get a share of the prizes then picking ANY other flag would have been easier. Which is why I think either VIC leaders made a mistake... or they have a seperate agenda to just winning flags.

I'm glad they're going after tough flags. That means less pressure on the rest of us.

Sometimes being the "Big Dog" attracts attention.  True competitors are drawn to tough challenges.  Best wants to fight the best.

Interestingly the H? S flag has more defence than the all the GOON/Dlord/Curse stronghold flags combined even after VICs most recent wave of assaults, almost triple the defending army size of any other flag in the tournament...

I wonder if there is a little more motivation VIC has for going for the toughest flag in the tournament than meets the eye?

OK, I'm using midnight server as my start point for this report...
 
North Flag:
22 Armies have hit this flag since then!  That's a busy flag.
 
Northeast Flag:
H? has reinforced, but I also see some H? armies coming through with Attack orders which tells me that H? thought they might lose this flag.  In other words, H? feels a little vulnerable here (hint, hint).  Only 1 small GOON army contested the flag.
 
East Flag:
GOON continues to hold the flag and reinforce.  Peace hit the flag with 6 armies but did not take it from GOON.  A big Dlord army (Flipper) hit and the flag had 16,912 casualties - my very rough estimate makes that a roughly 5K army flipper sent/lost [I encourage GOON to post a copy of the battle report in this thread].  H? sent 2 armies to this flag.
 
Southeast Flag:
Dlord continues their monopoly of this flag.  Reinforcements are still arriving.  VIC has hit the flag hard...Old friend WarriorBunny (Savior of The Alamo!  God bless WB) caused 14,984 casualties here....another large army destroyed.  [I encourage Dlord to post a copy of the battle report in this thread.]
 
South Flag:
H? continues their monopoly of this flag.  VIC has hit it with 8 armies.  And mCrow sent an army here...mCrow is all over the place in this tourney.
 
This is now the bloodiest flag in the tourney.
 
I wonder if VIC has made a mistake in attacking 2 well defended flags...splitting their attacks has left them with no flag to show for their efforts.  Not that concentrating on a single flag would have assured success, but it would certainly improve the odds for the attacker.  We'll see if VIC modifies their strategy over the next few days.
 
Southwest Flag:
Another H? monopoly.  Very quiet at this flag.  No one seems interested in trying to wrest this flag from H?'s mighty grip.  Seems like this would allow H? to send more forces to the South flag as well as make plays on other flags.  (Hint, Hint...perhaps one or more top 10 alliances (Crows?) could pressure H? at the SW while VIC concentrates on the S flag...which I'm sure would tickle Dlord's fancy.)
 
West Flag:
Lots of activity here.  Peace, Curse, T?, Strike Team, and Sir all have sent armies here.  The appearance of ST is notable given their general quietness.
 
Northwest Flag:
Activity is slowing (at least for the moment).  Curse continues to reinforce.   A few small attacks have taken place here.
 
RECAP: 3 Flags have been held by just 1 alliance for the entire tourney.  1 Dlord and 2 H?.  I suspect that if these flags are to be captured, 2 or more alliances will need to work together at each contested flag.
 
Good luck and good gaming to everyone!Clap
