as long as the WTF holds, you can fight, or if it gets too lopsided which is what I was saying I was calling for help, at first I thought my troops could win on there own, but would lose the WTF side of it, the reinforceing Army would help with the WTF numbers, and as it turned out, it was pretty close if I made a mistake it was in thinking my first army could win on it's own, I should of called for help as soon as the battle started and then held back until they showed up, so battle shouldn't of started until the middle of day two, but as they say, hindsight is prefect I have gone 5 days in a battle before, but the time losse is HARD to keep up with, you lose -4 at 02:00 each morning as the attacker so in this battle, my WTF was -16 just in the amount of time it was taking to fight the battle, plus, what helped/hurt was the length of the day, night fell at 1600 and daybreak was 0800, so short days and long nights really, when the Alpha started, I would of won with my first army and it would of been a cakewalk, I knew I could win on day one, I was impressed but still knew I would win on day two, I expected to win at the start of day three, ending up hopeing for night to hurry up and get there so I could hang on, morning of day four, I was working on how I wasn't going to lose or how to best save my troops if I did lose, the last 30 minutes of the battle, I did enough damage to get the enemy to start to panic, without those last 30 minutes, I would of lost during the middle of the night that was the best enemy Army I have seen, and it reacted just as I would of, it snookered me, as it keep a reserve, something the AI was not normally too good at, when I knew I had his front line broke, and I was slipping some poorer troops around his flanks to catch him, he caught me with a healthy reserve, while his front line was broke, it was able to hold long enough, that I couldn't catch his reserves in the rear Great Battle, and there was nothing I could whine or complain about, if I would of lost, I would of lost fair and square
