>>5986507Actually wait, I just thought of something.
Lanu, if I move my bondsmen onto that nearby raided village, will they get the HP bonus from standing on a settlement? Or does that only apply to the enemy when they are the ones defending?
If the HP bonus still applies, then here's my movement plan. One of the bondsmen will take shelter within the ruins of the pillaged town to protect themselves from the enemy cavalry. Sunset and the warbeasts will move to be in the perfect position to decimate anyone who tries to surround the village, while also being able to protect the remaining Norscans who have hunkered down in anticipation of enemy charge. This also sets up a nice little "death valley" between the Bondsmen in the fields and Ivan's Cataphracts; suicide for anyone who charges in there.
If the HP bonus doesn't apply, then instead I'll reconsider and need some more time to plan for the battle
