(Don't argue about distances, you can't accurately measure the distance from the ambush site to the fork on that map unless you had an actual point of reference. And it was already established since part 1 that is takes roughly 4-5 months to get from one end of Skyrim to the other, that is the point of reference. Thus it would take about a month to travel from the north of the Reach to the south, and because of that travelling from Fort Sungard to Sunderstone would take a few days. Don't argue about distances and travelling, because this is in the rules and has been like this since the beginning of the RP.

The Skirmishers are on the main road, there isn't any trees there in-game. Only in the RP were you said there were few of them. And you never mentioned before that they were still a few hundred feet from the steep part of the mountain, only I just said that in the last post. So this is just you trying to make and excuse to save your soldiers.)

Despite the casualties the heavy infantry reached the skirmishers and fought against them. The special units from Falkreath may be excellent archers but they weren't as well trained for close quarters as the heavy infantry. Especially since all they had for such occasions were hand-axes(Waraxes I assume).
