The way things are moving in the battle as much fun as it is to RP it with you in a lot of detail I recommend that we wrap it up so you can move on. Also, even if you defeat the soldiers in Riverwood you wouldn't have enough men to defeat the other part of Whiterun's army that is coming to the town, as they have about 600 men. So I recommend summarizing the battle, saying that you won against the Housecarl's men but that when you discovered that another large army was coming you retreated as your soldiers weren't in any shape to continue and you were outnumbered since you lost a lot of men in the battle. How the battle is unfolding you wouldn't have more than about 200 men in the end, if you won.

So in your best interest I think we should end this battle, or else by the time you finish and then focus on taking the rest of Falkreath the other users would be four-five times your size. If you agree I'd also recommend just skipping to the current date as 2 years without war would definitely get rid of your Jarl's Warlord status. You could RP things that he did in his nation in the past 2 years but not trying to expand for that long will make people like him more than they do now. That is what I do with my Jarl, I stay a year without warring with other nations.) (I think skipping the battle is probably necessary. However, if my forces take out those in Riverwood, wouldn't they be able to hold it? If they can seal the gates before the rest of Whiterun gets here, then they'd have to build siege engines to get in. The engineers could build ballistae on the walls and the soldiers could rest.)

(As an aside, how long would it take for my army to recover to full size?)
