It was ^^ Both discipline AND bloodlust was high
From a commander's view it was quite successful as well: people for the most part were listening to commands, there was not too much unnecessary chatter going on, people were attentive to flanking maneuvers and the individual fighting groups helped each other when one threatened to get overrun. We reacted quick enough to prevent any major enemy force from gaining and holding ground on our periphery.
What could be improved is the falling back after a (counter) push. Some people got slaughtered quite unnecessarily - me included one or two times.
Oh and it was great fun - one of the most exciting battles I have had so far in Strat.
9/10 - would fight again
