Strategic Situation

[Sir Ebrum]

China is wracked by a terrible rebellion which now threatens the very capital. The provinces of You, Bing, and Ji remain loyal to the emperor, but outside of them loyalist bastions are few. Your own city of Wan is one of these.

The Loyalist Forces
The largest force loyal to the emperor lies north of the river, protecting the northern provinces.
The second largest loyal army is that of Luoyang itself, protecting the emperor and fending off two rebel armies.
The third largest loyal army is trapped in Chang An, unwilling to abandon the city to sally forth.
The fourth largest loyal "army" is the 10,000-strong ill-equipped garrison at Wan.

The Rebel Forces
The largest rebel army is the Dragon Army, currently blocked by the capital forces at Hu Lao Pass.
The third largest rebel army is the Tiger Army, currently blocked by the capital forces at Han Gu Pass. Tiger Army chose to bypass Chang An and race directly for the capital, but only managed to seize Tong Pass before being blocked at Han Gu. Now, Tiger Army is unable to bring its full strength to bear either at its front or in its rear.
The second largest rebel army is the new Phoenix Army, which is still mustering at Xiang Yang. Its eventual goal is to force its way up river and attack Luoyang from the south, breaking the current deadlock at the passes. You and your city are all that stand in the way.

[Sir Ebrum]

You begin with a large city possessed of rich natural resources. Unfortunately years of lackluster management have left its economy a shambles, and the citizens poorly motivated.

Location: Wan
Taxes: 13347
Population Growth: 48
Morale changed by -1
Riot! 11 troops lost! Civil Office was damaged!
Kingdom PR changed by 0

Damaged building can be repaired:
for 40% of the base cost, unskilled
for 25% of the base cost, by a Civil Engineer
for 10% of the base cost, by an expert Civil Engineer

Damaged buildings can still be staffed, but will use a flat value of 40 instead of the actual officer bonus. (Imagine your local DMV or county courthouse with busted windows & graffiti on the walls)

Below is the strategic overview for the skirmish minigame:

30 April, 190
The city of Wan was overcome the riots, but now faces small bands raiding rebel forces pillaging the countryside. The mood in the city is cautious. The resolution of the earlier riots has reassured (or cowed) the populace and the raids have not much damage yet.

City Military:
City: 6,100 (100) and 6,450 (0)
On Patrol: 250 (0)

City Equipment: 2970 bows

Patrol forces:
"Noble Spirit"
Shi Xiang
100 Infantry
nothing to report yet...

"A Bundle of Bamboo Sticks"
Mao Ma Kan, Liu Jia, Shang Bao
260 infantry, 30 bowmen, 10 cavalry
nothing to report yet...

Team Fei Lai: 150 infantry, nothing to report yet...

Rebel forces:
You do not know much at this point, so one one of your goals is to gather intel on the size goals of the enemy raiders. You do have some basic intel from the earlier events.

Total rebel raider size: 1,000 - 10,000 (you know very little)
Rebel senior officers: 3+ ?
Rebel strategy: ?
Rebel raid staging areas: ?
