Re: OOC
I'm not saying we can't bloody their nose, I'm just saying we shouldn't die to do it.
Here's the thing mate, you're right, you could totally hold off the Irish for a bit, if you were willing to die. They're about to be around to the third gate (the one we're currently evacuating from) in a matter of hours. At that point, you're not retreating.
And honestly when it comes to defense, we don't have the missile weapons or defenses to put up a good fight. Walled cities were good at keeping the riff raff out, but they generally weren't designed to hold up against a true siege. And even if they were, we've got less than half the usual soldiers that we need to effectively man the battlements. Correct me if I'm wrong Teller? It usually has 90-100 men?
