The Tale

The Map

The explanation

A guerrilla operation. We arrived at the bridge on the enemy's rear. A patrol tried to head us of, but we charged em dead.
"The other side looks defended, let the archers even the odds"

Make your presets quickly and rush for the river. A force of ghôls are coming across and you should stop them before they can make use of their mobility.

Our archers started across the river and started to pick off soulless or should that be brainless. After working the enemy for a while even the fallen had had it and rushed across the bridge and waded the waters. They got close but not close enough.

When the ghôls are killed, start cautiously advancing your archers across the bridge. If you do not use all of them, they wont shoot each other and you will have a reserve. The enemy will advance when you step on ground on the other side and retreat when you retreat onto the bridge. Use this to pick of the soulless. Run back across the bridge if the do not stop their advance.

"You men scout forward, the rest stays here and guards the bridge"

Advance units across the bridge. I decided to use half the troop to make them more manageable. The other half stayed by the bridge, because it was a high point. In retrospect a bit away from the river had probably been smarter.

We walked through the village when our archers saw some strange figure.
"Must be a fallen, get him" And when they did get him there was a loud explosion.
"What the hell was that"
"I do not know, but shoot them before they get close to us"

As your units reach the village, the wights, walking bombs appear. You will have to shoot them with the archers before they get too close. They will advance on the warrior, but run - or walk slowly - away when fired upon. Clear all visible wights before continuing.

"This must be near the enemy camp, look at all those ghôls, keep going. Shoot them if you get a chance"

You will run into a pack of ghôls, but they will stay at a respectful distance. Just keep walking, and take out all wights.

"There they are, let's get back to the bridge"
They were many, more than we would like to fight so we retreated back towards the bridge. More wights appeared.

As soon as someone tells you to get back to the bridge, get back but keep your units together or wights will hit the warriors and ghôls the archers.

But we made it across. Hope they main force did alright.

Across. Another victory for the forces of the living. May the fallen rest in pieces.
