It was true that, with the Aurora Legion Raiders and the new Militia here, your total numbers were greater than the Household Militia preparing to come here, and even if they pulled away from the east of the county, they would still only roughly match you in number, and not even then, if the Irregulars became involved in any fighting. Not an ideal position to attack. Yet what if they simply waited, or if they withdrew and returned with more later?
<span class="mu-r">“Do you think I am incapable of remembering yesterday? Many saints also showed their righteousness in war. Some even having it their first resort. Morality is being willing to fight when challenged. Especially for a cause like the dawn. Surely you agree.”</span>
<span class="mu-b">“If there is a fight, then let it be fought. But a battle won without bloodshed is best if bloodier times are indeed ahead.”</span>
You leaned over the table, more to imagine how a fight would play out and where, rather than thinking of how to fight. Your time commanding on the field was done with. You could trust your officers to do your will- but what would you declare it to be?
>The Duke might not have realized it yet, but he had already decided that this would be war when he had your Leagues beaten and arrested like criminals. Instruct your militants to prosecute this battle like you were at war- a battle you were certain to win and destroy your enemy utterly in.
>Avoid a fight as much as you could- array your strength in the open and wait for the Duke’s militia to come. If they still wanted to fight despite lacking the numbers advantage they presumed on, then they could be allowed their folly, but they would otherwise be permitted to withdraw- as a courtesy and show of leniency.
>The Duke didn’t seem to know your Irregulars and Raider Company were ready to strike. Even if any informants knew of the additional Militia reinforcements, you might be able to bait the Household Militia into a battle. Then you would have the victory you could take- without having to fire the first shot. Even if you would have to sacrifice the initiative.
>Other?
Also-
>Withdraw the League from Fulmicroce (the settlement east of Tolvidaria)? (Pulling them out will likely send a reinforcing unit of Household Militia southwards, but not pulling them out will most certainly result in them getting rounded up by the authorities)
As well-
>Make any other turn actions?
>The Aurora Legion Infantry are deployed- so your 2d6 are still available.
