Calontir has a very well thought out bridge tactics at the present time, but our field tactics are still lacking. This papaer will try to rememdy that. Our requirments for a field formation are many and varied. It must be rather flexible as to handle different situations and needs. It must be mobile enough to take advantage of opportunities presented in battle. Self reliance as well as the ability to work with other units is also needed. Simplicity is a must as we have very few war trained fighters and have recently had allies that are not experienced in our tactics. And lastly it shoud be tough as Calontir draws a lot of fire. I believe I have such a formation. It does require the large shields and a well led cavalry. I'm not quite sure on what the min. and max. number of fighters for the formation is but I think an army of sixty could do it just fine. | Calontir has a very well thought out bridge tactics at the present time, but our field tactics are still lacking.

We break our formation into these only if we are sure of our flanks. It's basically our bridge formation. The rear shield wall moves forward and covers the flanks of front shield wall. This gives us a wider front we ccan cover. The reserves en up doing all the nasty task in this formation. They rotate in and our of the shield wall and they are used as reinforcements as needed. The cav. units are used to hit break outs as needed. | We break our formation into these only if we are sure of our flanks. It's basically our bridge formation.

In case of a bad foe break though somewhere else in the line we fort up as best as we can. | In case of a bad foe break though somewhere else in the line we fort up as best as we can. | ||

This is one of the more complicated maneuvers. It is used when we are on the flank. It's also the chance for the cav. to shine. If the foe only overlaps us by 40-50 men, the cav moves parallel to the line of battle, making sure not to get engaged, and when the foes line is about to completely fank the line, they hit. Trapping the foe between the hammer and anvil. We have some sort of shield wall on all sides so we can fort as needed. Ther reserves are rotated as usual. | This is one of the more complicated maneuvers. It is used when we are on the flank. It's also the chance for the cav. to shine.
