whichever choice involves using the massive cannons on the horses, and we'll go fight the regular men

Horses are easy to hit with big gently caress off cannons in the water or while plodding through trees. The experimentals will be fine. Guns to Experimentals, Us to 5th

I have a feeling that irregulars going against heavy cav aren't going to do well, even with artillery support. BUT WE GOTTA GO FOR THE DAME Griefor posted:Why not use our heavy guns to aid the Experimentals while we go to the aid of the 5th of foot?

actual napoleonic war operational theory and practice: open order skirmishers are tremendously hosed against cavalry unless supported by cavalry of their own or unless they have infantry in square to fall back on infantry vs infantry is a perfect opportunity to use heavy artillery to blow some big holes in dense masses of guys. Heavy artillery isn't accurate enough to do much to horsey mans. therefore use artillery to support the infantry while we back up the Experimentals

Use the guns to support the line, we'll aid the Experimentals. You dorks are forgetting that the girl already has somone.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:actual napoleonic war operational theory and practice: This sounds super logical. I was unaware we personally had artillery at our disposal and was thinking more something like heavier rifles, which seemed a good idea against the Church Hussars that shrugged off our piddly Dragoon rifles in the previous book. Artillery that fires inaccurately from afar whilst offering no melee support doesn't seem too good for the Experimentals. So I changed my vote.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:actual napoleonic war operational theory and practice: wouldn't it be accurate enough to do damage to them while they're fording the river though? I can't imagine a bunch of extremely-heavily armored magic lancers would move very fast over a ford that seems to be that difficult regardless, this seems like the best idea to me. artillery pew pew infantry, ride to the experimentals

The reason I voted for arty the the Hussars is, in part, because they kicked the poo poo out of us the last time we fought, and we had a castle to hid in for heavens sake. The big guns seem like a much better welcome to the modern era, while our own troop is, let us face it, on the way to obsolescence as well. Besides, riding off to go mano-a-mano with our horse-riding counter parts is so storybook. It feels like joining the foot fight must be more pragmatic simply by default.

Spend 3 magic, sacrifice to Orlanth, artillerize infantry, charge Hussars, take captives. Our primary income source is ransom money. Infantry isn't worth anything in this regard, and neither are fragged Hussars. Live ones, on other hand... Rogue AI Goddess fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Jun 3, 2016 |

I think the hussars are going to be on our side of the crossing before the arty is ready so give arty to the infantry and Cazarosta to the hussars.

The Hussars are the epitome of the old ways. Let them see the power of modern artillery.Taking unsuspecting infantry down is kind of our role. Arty on Hussars, us to the infantry.

Let's do the cool thing and split up it's also a great way to get rid of Caz.
