Starstruck -> RE: Wars and Battles in Roleplaying (2/10/2013 10:43:13)
|
My suggestion: (bold for emphasis)
Commander Starstruck surveyed the field of battle with a keen eye. The sun beat down on his full plate armor, countering the frosty chill of the Northern Plains. The Plains had few easy entrances, and to use a difficult passageway would have been a tactical mistake; he was forced to use a less than optimal opening assault, but at least he had made the first moves.
[Obviously initiative and setting and all that will be determined OOC. Now, below this is the crucial passage, and so I'm not going to add much detail. As a post, I doubt it would fly.]
He led with the cavalry, sending the paltry force of armed riders against the main bulk of the army. As they approached, however, they would split into a pincer movement, swing around to surround them, and from behind, getting the mages into range. It was a good plan, but not a terribly creative one, and Commander Starstruck desperately hoped that the enemy would not see through the plan and be able to thwart it.
In the case above, I adapted a fight scene to large-scale battles. Unless there is a system in place to prevent people from adapting to strategies that haven't even appeared yet, most posts probably wouldn't need to include future tactics. Collaboration would be key, however, as this would allow battles to proceed much more smoothly (wars, more so even than fights, have speedier actions and reactions, or so I assume).
As I do not have any experience doing war RPs, please please PLEASE take this with a heaping tablespoon of salt. This is how I'd imagine it would take place, with the bolded text being the actual events and the rest being description and internal monologue, but there are most likely better ones out there.
