Sorry for double post, but seeing the new GOT episode makes me want the north of the western empires to band together for the sake of the north :P

Part of our goal in defense should be creating a rallying cry for the western nations after the siege is done, something that the armies and the common folk left behind could rally behind. A second part should be to weaken the morale of the enemies forces. Traps, caltrops, and that brilliant idea of burning barrels (pots is a little better) if this was a thinner canyon, would be amazing. But we need to send a message.

Fair points across the board. Should we adopt the defensive posture and own it on the first day? Go big with a trench line dug in front of our defensive line, cavalry shrouded in cover ready to launch the counter assault, maybe find a way for some of the archers to climb the walls of the canyon to bring fire down from above?

What do you guys think of a feigned retreat?

I think Alaric will lead from afar. We can't kill him yet, nor ever as that would give us total victory, but I envision this like a last stand of the Spartans in that gory movie. Each day we face new enemies with their own commanders.

Well if it were me, I would start off by having your ranged cavalry engage the enemy in a Cantabrian circle fashion.
Then use the 300 Darkforest Ranger's missile support when they get close enough, firing their bows in such a manner that the arrows start to fall from pretty much right above the enemy. As they raise their shields, if they don't do a testudo, have the whole crossbowman force fire their volley. After a few little bits of this launch an infantry assault on them while at the same time having the cavalry as a whole pierce through one of the flanks, envelop around the enemy, and crush their backlines/missile troops.

I could be down to play as a soldier.
It'll probably be easier to decide in the Camp Phase. There you will get an idea of who you'll be facing. You'll want to formulate your strategy around that.
EDIT: What I mean to say is, some of you may feel more/less confident about the role depending on who you'll be facing. If your unit is an integral part of the proposed strategy, I would probably want to be Commander. If you think you have a good idea on how to win the next battle, I would probably want to be Commander.
That does make sense. I am almost finished with the bio for Gyrid as well as finishing up the bio for the Followers.
What about a group effort in the start? Where we all plan out the first battle together and see who emerges as a favorite to become the Lord Comman- errr, leader for the next.
