Paying the Blood Price

Scenario 2:

Turin's fleet has landed at near Durand's mine and the ironmen raiders have disembarked.


L is the longships with their crew, R is the Stif Raiders, G is Durand's Garrison, and M is the mine. Yellow is the lowground, Green squares are highground. The entire region is hilly, Hills confer a -10 yds to speed (infantry speed is usually40). High ground confers a +1D Fighting for the defenders. The entire area is covered in fog. Fog confers a -1D to Fighting and Awareness (and a few others I won't worry about at this juncture), and a -2D to Marksmanship.
Stif's goal is to slaughter the garrison and loot the mine they are not here for to keep the land. The garrison's goal is to defend the mine, they have taken the high ground on a hill to do so.

Turin again commands Stif, with a Warfare of 4(strategy 1B, command 1B)

The garrison has a competent commander with Warfare 3 (let's see how much of a difference that makes).

Unit stats: 

Stif Raiders Health 9, AR 2, Damage 3, Defense 5, Discipline 9

Stif Longboats Health 6, AR 5, Damage 3, Defense 7, Discipline 9

Durand Garrison Health 6, AR 3, Damage 3, Defense 5, Discipline 6
