Hey gang, I've been noticing a very large amount of battles and wars that are being fought on the big map, without any updates and very little progression. To help with this, I'm creating an example of a smaller scale battle to help encourage more of these kinds of project. After all, DU is about worldbuilding more than anything. The battle of examplia plains: On the morning of June 12th 1911, at 0950, Royal Arnorian troops engaged with the Libertarian forces. Two Platoons attempted to charge up the hill occupied by Libertarian forces, and we're bombarded by machine gun fire and mortars. Another Platoon attempted to flank around the hill, but was stopped by a previously unknown Libertarian platoon. The fourth Arnorian platoon tried to clean out the stand of trees, and both sides in the stand were forced into entrenchment positions. Meanwhile, Arnorian artillery bombarded the battlefield. Results: 43 Arnorian loses, 37 Libertarian loses Key: I put the red arrows as attacks and the blue as counter-attacks and defensives. The X's represent successful attacks (or in this case, counterattacks due to the blue color, which in this case represents the defenders). The blue Triangles represent successful defenses here, and the graduated red oval represents the range of the attackers artillery. This is a very *very* basic and rushed example, and seeing improvements and evolution on this over time will be amazing.
