Yes, thanks.

I think Karala has the right basic idea, having to deal with an enemy on 
their flank makes the main Lunar force vulnerable to anyone attacking 
from the front. The gaps between the Lunar forces almost seem to be 
inviting exploitation.

It might need someone with a calmer head to get Gyffur's men to feint an 
attack and harass the Sun Dome Templars (I doubt if a mercenary captain 
is going to be rash enough to turn his men's back on Gyffur or to risk 
getting hit from behind when he charges the Telmori ). If I read that 
right the Lunar skirmishers are out of it so Gyffur should have a bit of 
a field day.

Then its just a question of whether the Heortlings can crack the main 
force and retire with the enemy standard before the bat catches up with 
them.
