Yeah

[Gobelina]

The heavy warriors are to climb the ladder whilst the archers fire arrows behind the wall and in the rear.

Need Barrowtown's defenders, 10% of their levy, and I need proper orders. Proper unit names and task: there's no such thing as "heavy warriors".

[Gobelina]

The Ironborn Hearth Warriors are the heavy warriors.

Post Barrowtown's defenders please. They're an AI castle, just get 10% of their levy and they'll do the usual resistance.

50 Northern Swordsmen (equivalent elite infantry)
20 Light Inf
30 Heavy Inf
20 Polearms
20 Archers

He's had long enough.

Attacker archers target infantry on walls. Rolls of 12 and 18.

12*1050=12,600
18*140=2,520
50% dead: 70 infantry left

Defender archers shoot back at advancing siege troops. Rolled 1 and 19.
19*2900=55,100
Well below 1%. The archers fail to kill any of the highly experienced and heavily armoured warriors, unwilling to stand in the open under the hail of Ironborn arrows.

Attacking infantry vs defending infantry. Rolled 3 and 20.
3*2900=8,700
20*70=1,400
16% dead: 467 Ironborn Hearth warriors are dead, but the wall falls.

d20*1000=5,000 Dragons loot.

I thought the ironborn broke off the siege..... but idc.

[Gobelina]

mic the siege took some time, but then the assault didnt get rolled, so I continued the Ironborns movement.
