Predictably, he did have a plan. It was, of course, the elf's job to always come up with something for as she thought he was indeed a strategist. Nevertheless, Carlisle was under attack on two fronts, and that meant that regardless of whatever plan was thought up, it needed to be stuck with quite quickly.<br/><br/>"Well, irrespective of how many people we have, we need to completely obliterate the troops stationed on one front, and then use all of our might to fling suddenly at the other. If we were to fight an actual extended two front war we would never actually make it."<br/><br/>Eventually, the strategy officer looked up toward her and paused.<br/><br/>"Tell me, since you have only just counted the troops, how many vessels of actual war do we have currently in service?"<br/><br/>There were, of course, a few different ways that they could have been used. Most notably they could have moved the troops, especially if the wind was with them. Nevertheless, this wasn't the only plan that he had suddenly come up with involving the water.<br/><br/>If ships could be fitted with weapons, then they very well could soften up both of the fronts. Depending on which way the wind was blowing, they could wipe out coastal troops while their own land forces attacked, and then use the same vessels to move those land forces to the other front faster than they could have moved across terra firma.<br/><br/>It all really depended on how many ships they had at the moment, though.
