>>6124600Your arrival upon the field of battle reveals to you much already - found within a narrow stretch of the Riedgen, the territory of the crossing is marshy and muddy, filled with small trees and uncertain bog-like where an unlucky man could fall to a rather wet fate when not properly prepared. It sits at the foot of a hill bearing the marks of civilization, the long ridgelines of the terracettes on its side giving you tale of herds of livestock marching past, no doubt to a neighbouring village or grazing land. [i:lit]It seems that your enemy, should they remain on the other side, will possess the higher terrain over you.[/i:lit] [b:lit]You should keep note of that.[/b:lit]
Nevertheless, for now, you must not waste time. In what must be your first stroke of luck in these past few weeks, it would seem as though the rather light character of your army, lacking as it may be in mortars and siege weaponry, [i:lit]you have arrived slightly earlier than the enemy to the field of battle[/i:lit], though by how much you are not sure. Thanks to this advantage, [b:lit]you will be able to make the first move.[/spoiler:lit] You should spend it well.
[red]Hint: In Fog of War, you are free to order your troops to do as you please; write-ins are encouraged, and may very well be the only way to achieve victory depending on what path you take. Though they can also lead to your doom...[/red]
[b:lit]Choose your next move[/b:lit]
>We must not waste any time, take the bridge and pass through before they arrive, better an uphill battle than to fight upon a crossing.>We can use this to our advantage, take the bridge, but do not pass through yet, take defensive formations and wait for the enemy to arrive.>This could be a trap, we should remain in battle formation and slowly approach the bridge to make sure of it.>[Write-in]
