Also keep in mind that sending a bunch of peasants at a group of armed knights was kind of a staged event (referring to the FIDLGB offense, not the village battle which took place this evening). They had extra light gear, and we thought that it would be a funny thing to do.
We had hoped that the enemy side would be good enough sports not to just spawn camp us (which doesn't seem especially fun for either side, might as well just be killing bots in DTV at that point) but it happened and we signaled the retreat because of it EXDEE. That some of the defenders questioned why the retreat was signaled is beyond me.
Hm. Still Rebache had nothing for gear....Perhaps we shall have some more fun battles once the castle and last village are taken. Chaos holdings should be fun too. UKC has lost a ton of men and materials already. (1500 to us at Jeribe, 300 at vezin, 1900 today versus CA, maybe 1800 tomorrow versus jeirbe again) How can Green just BLEED troops like that?
Also, Hosp defending (spawn camping?) was what they are supposed to do. Though FOG was the big enemy that battle. Far more than the hosp's army.
All said and done, has been fun. Way better than those dumb EU attacks and AI assaults/defenses.
