BATTLEFIELD: Wild Horse Desert

quote:

This no-man's land lies just over the Texas border, and served as the safe choice of battlefield for the commanders to test each other's strength in the early days of the war.
There is no benefit or drawback to fighting here. This battlefield may only be chosen once more after this!

(Sorry for the delay in resolution, the Hawaii missile attack false alarm really freaked me out.)



This time, the forces clashed far away from either side's defensive lines. Historians in the years to come would speculate on the Texans' reasons for choosing this battleground - was it to minimize collateral damage, an attempt at outmaneuvering the Mexican strategists, or something else entirely? No-one could say for sure.

But once again, each battle party threw itself at the other, and all dissolved into gun-smoke, chaos, and blood...


TEXAS STATE GUARD CASUALTIES

quote:

Feelings are important - both bad and good. They tell you so much about the folks you encounter, whether it's at the bar or on opposite ends of the battlefield. This war ain't your first rodeo and it surely won't be your last - but you'll trust Shine's way of showing you what lies in people's hearts to carry you through.
:rip: flerp, aka Leon, TOWN-aligned Tactician, was killed in battle on Night 4! :rip:

DIVISIÓN DEL NORTE CASUALTIES
:ese: :siren: No one died! :siren: :ese:

:ese: THE DIVISIÓN DEL NORTE WINS THIS BATTLE! :ese:

Each army returns to their camp, ready to regroup, recuperate, and prepare - for tomorrow is another day, and another battle awaits.

Day 5 starts now. Deadline is 8 PM ET on Monday 15-JAN-2018. If a Martin Luther King Day deadline poses an issue, please let me know via PM.

QUICK QUESTION ABOUT BATTLES: Do they happen in real time? Like do all of the people participating need to be on at a certain time or is it more submit actions, actions resolve?

Just like anything else: everyone submits, they all resolve simultaneously with priority based on what it does (for example, if someone had a roleblock the block would resolve before their target attacked)

I'd say I'm as low as one could be on the healing priorities list but if there's an extra one floating around after we gather information I wouldn't say no.

Today I am also interested in knowing, (if I don't already know), if you can join a battle on your own.
