Notes: This battle is just a small skirmish in numbers (size of numbers less than half a platoon each side with a max of 12 units including member unit/s). The main aim is to cross the open creek in the middle, both sides need this small way across, so destroying the makeshift bridge is a last resort for both sides.

*** Map Description ***
(This map and the description was created by Adelheid)

This map, I feel, is a bit more of a challenge in regard to manoeuvres.

* Running through the middle is a river, rocky rapids at two ends (the uppermost is especially violent, as shown by the large amount of pale water-markings), with ice around the sides and a ridiculously nasty current.

*The cliffs are steep and slippery, the fall a good sixteen feet. The only way across is the large tree trunk in the middle, which is icy; it rests precariously on the edges of the two cliffs it connects. It can hold up to five people, but they will have to be single-file, as its only wide enough for one. Yes, that is a tree stump at one end - make use of it as you will.

*The green is forest, mostly coniferous. The snow is deepest in the forest, halfway up the leg, and thins out to being ankle-deep at the cliff edge.

Do you need an american?

[♔ Rupert Crawford]

I don't I'm afraid, sorry. Just looking for one Axis character to join who I may oppose.

I could mod this, if you so wish.

Would be lovely, thank you.
I'll PM you when or if this battle does commence to notify you.

I guess you don't mind if I join as Axis, eh, ol' chap?

Just let me know what kind of numbers you were hoping to bring and I'll match them.

[♔ Rupert Crawford]

Yeah, sure, of course you can join.

The numbers are as follows, if you're capable of filling the ranks:
Private to Corporal - 10 NPCs
Special Unit - 1 NPC

You may bring however many you want within those numbers. You don't have to tell me what you're bringing or how many you're bringing if you're unable to fill all the open slots, so it's entirely your choice, I'm not asking to make things equal between us; so who gets however many corporals, privates or whatever else. So just bring whatever special unit you want (if any) and however many NPC units you want from the ten private to corporal units.

You have a slight edge over this battle, because you'll get to see my numbers during my first opening post - being the host of the battle - so you have the advantage to change your numbers or units prior to posting.

Like I said, bring however many you want within those numbers and whatever special unit you wish. I'm not being picky. If you're happy with what I've said, then I'll start the battle after your confirmation.

I have no problem meeting these numbers and they seem good to me. Only need to make some shopping before the battle, so if you just give me a few days to get my troops sorted out, I'm good to go!

[♔ Rupert Crawford]

No problem, just let me know when you have your units sorted and we'll get this started. Posting in the battle won't be strict, I'll ask the moderator if a longer leeway between posts is possible, so we can both enjoy replying to other threads we have on-going and besides, it shouldn't ruin the battle rushing any immediate posts. So long as we don't take the mick' taking toooo long, let's say, months down the line.

Anyhow, my numbers are accounted for and I'm ready when you are.

[Dieter "Iceman" Rentz]

I like the way you think! Yeah, I'd enjoy if we can keep the posting times relaxed, but not too much so, naturally want to see the battle finished at some point, eh. But indeed, I do also enjoy keeping my neutral(s) going, so I support the idea.

I'll do my shopping and organizing the troops over the weekend, so we can start up the battle soon!

[♔ Rupert Crawford]

Sure, just to let you know, I won't be around this weekend, so if you get any figures sorted before tonight, I'd be happy to start the battle up and we can take a slow progress as planned. Otherwise, I'll only be able to start the battle next week sometime when I get the chance to properly sit down and draft up a post and map.

Woop, Woop!
~Danny

[Dieter "Iceman" Rentz]

Well, I think I'm good with what I'm going to bring (also, sorry it took all this time to figure such a simple thing out, lol!), so whenever you feel like starting up the battle, go ahead. No hurry, though, take your time with editing the map and writing the post.
