The Imperial army is continuing its retreat from the numerically superior Aldera forces at the base of the Alafatra mountain range.  They've set fire to the forest to buy themselves more time, but after a few days the fire is beginning to burn out.  To buy the time they need to finish the retreat, Ikta is forced to mountain a proactive mobile defense and keep the flames burning.  But the enemy general is breaking all the rules, and Ikta can't figure out his game.  By the time Ikta realizes what's happened, it's too late, and the enemy battering down his walls with a new weapon and sending their cavalry straight through the flames!
we would've been able to defend the 
barricades without having to retreat.
كنّا لنستطيع حماية المتاريس دون الحاجة للانسحاب
könnten wir die Barrikaden verteidigen,
ohne uns zurückziehen zu müssen.
habríamos podido defender
las barricadas sin retirarnos.
habríamos podido defender
las barricadas sin retirarnos.
il aurait fallu qu’on puisse
rester derrière la barricade.
saremmo riusciti a difendere le barricate 
senza essere costretti a ritirarci.
teria sido defender as 
barricadas sem ter que recuar.
лучше всего было не отступать
 и удерживать укрепления.
