Message: <blockquote data-quote="Crowe9107" data-source="post: 286397" data-attributes="member: 2033">3:1 odds is about the minimum feasible force required for an assault. Their experience level as I understand it [Average Vallorean Legionaire is 5th Level, our Galleran Grunts about 2nd level], is a tremendous force mulitplier though, and we will be hard pressed to go toe-to-toe with Vallorean units on a conventional battlefield. Also, the Valloreans appear fairly integrated, while we have a mix of LE and CE forces, which reallistically would not work well together.Our primary mission is to DELAY the Vallorean Forces and deny them the opportunity to link up and reinforce the Vallorean Main Body. Holing up in Fortress Indestructible will probably not accomplish this, the Valloreans will simply manuever around us,  capture our 2 supporting cities, and mop us up later when they have the time and resources to dig us out. While our presence would threaten them, their occupying forces could meet us from defensive positions, and WE would be the ones needing 3:1 odds, probably even higher numbers than that given the Valloreans experience. Granted, those occupied cities should be unfriendly, but as the goody-goody's, it may be seen as a liberation as the common citizens won't have to worry about becoming blood donors for vampires, or werewolf chow under Vallorean rule. I think at the very least, the Vallorean Army will split,and strike both cities simultaneously, with possibly a third blocking force to meet any sally or counterattack from the Fortress. This, is how I would play it if I was the Valloreans. They may just charge the fortress first, concentrating their strength on the hardest objectives while they are fresh, and then work their way to the cities, but it sounds kind of masochistic to me. It is hard to predict without a clear idea of the Vallorean objectives and their mindset. I think we need to be looking outside of the fortress for a place to take out the Valloreans, the more territory they take, the harder it will be for us to get at them. I think, the Valloreans expect us to cower in front of their might and hide behind our walls. I think they are supremely confident of their abilities and the righteousness of their cause. If these things are correct, a well played ambush/trap not on their timetable in an unexpected location, could seriously disrupt their plans.Thoughts?Carl Rowe</blockquote>
