SIN Breaks 6th Unbow Siege at 136|-2148

[136|-2148] — remember those coordinates. It is home to a small abandoned campsite on plains, as well as the most siege-broken square in Newlands History. SIN officials shared details of what marks the sixth siege on this spot, with the first attempted siege by SHARK being broken in mid-November 2015.

The final hit came from SIN member DML, who hit the remaining siege stack with a palpable cavalry force:

Two opposing forces clash against each other.

Cavalry comes into its own when able to strike hostile forces at will, and from unexpected directions – and nowhere is this more feasible than on open plains. Lightly armoured spear units, however, prefer terrain where there’s some cover available.

Fighting defensively on open plains, cavalry draws strength from the ability to form and reform their lines of engagement depending on the direction of battle, and it is here where cavalry excels.

The spot is tantalizing for Unbow, since it affords them an opportunity to siege an otherwise “unsiegeable” SIN position in the Newlands. However, that single siege square is fraught with difficulties, as it is on plains, and the lack of any other free square makes it impossible to blockade the city.

The following is a list of the previous five siege attempts on the city:

• Worker’s siege of Stukahh’s city of Foot to the Throat on November 11, 2015.
• Worker’s siege of Stukahh’s city of 7. Foot To The Throat on November 29, 2015.
• lodi’s siege of Stukahh’s city of 7. Foot To The Throat on December 8, 2015.
• Spektor’s siege of Goldy1’s city of 4 Deerfield on February 24, 2016.
• Mordred’s Siege of Goldy1’s city of 4 Deerfield on February 27, 2016.

Halcyon’s failed siege joins the ranks of these five. This is now the 24th siege that SIN has broken. The last attempted siege by Unbow/SHARK/VIC was on this very site nearly a month ago, which was also broken.
