14th of Morning Star, 4E 269

The cow flew through the air in a graceful arc. A scream was heard from the fort as the cow crushed three people unfortunate to be standing exactly where the cow landed.

The ballistae finally managed to hit their targets this time and destroyed one of the watchtowers, killing ten of the crossbowmen. Having now ascertained the correct trajectory, they would be able to hit the towers consistently assuming they did not try to target something else.

The trebuchets and archers successfully hit the pikemen, killing 31 of the in total pikemen. The archers lost 8 of their number to the crosbows.

Under Section 3 Clause 14 of the Battle Tactics and Formation Act of 267, the crossbows all fled from the watchtowers. The pikemen dutifully remained stationed where they were.

(Remember Goldie, the date is actuall 19th of Morning Star because it got messed up earlier.)

19th of Morning Star

The madmen were clearly absolutely terrified of the horses, and scattered about in all directions in complete hysteria. The heavy cavalry got rather overenthusiastic, and as a result their formation became rather strung out and broken up, and their attempts at hit and run tactics failed.

In the ensuing confusion, 5 cavalrymen were killed, and 94 lunatics were run down. The heavy cavalry were naturally very happy with their situation, and would fight more viciously if the pursuit was continued.

3rd of Sun's Dawn

Undeterred by this failure, the Corsairs pressed on and made a second attempt to take the walls.

The Swordsmen continued their assault, support by the fire of 500 friendly archers.
