This thread is for every thing surrounding Ebrron armies: tactics, special projects, unusual facts, everything a nation and its army could do, would do, and did in the war. So to start things off: 1) In the Thrane army all soldiers are trained with a bow and every battle begins with all of them raining down arrows on the enemy. 2) a known trick among the dragonhawk riders of Aundeir is to pile up on smokesticks, thunderstones and other nasty things, then once above the enemy drop them and cause panic. Thats what i have for now. Feel free to add anything you feel is relevant. Lets see how creative we are.

Demon_Paladin 12-11-07, 09:38 PM	By "weaken" you mean "slaughter", right? Something like that. Think Germans using Mustard gas in WWI. But here, the troops can wade right in and pick off survivors.

Have you ever seen bears fight? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7vvkloC-Ac The rider wouldn't even be able to reach anything when armed with a sword, and given the amount of damage that a magebred dire bear can dish out, it would re redundant anyway. I'd guess that melee weapons are used more as a last resort or when dismounted, and the bear's riders do most of their fighting at range.

Due to druids having numerous flight speed and maneuverability enhancing spells, Aundairian flyers are no match for them. This relies on Spell Compendium. Also, dragonhawks drop like flies in face of Hold Animal and such.
