Nerva Note #6

by Gaius Marcellus Nerva

Transcript

It did not take long for me to grow accustomed to the weapons of this world - many of which are called "guns" according to one of my lieutenants. They are far more accurate and deadly than any bow, but like any weapon, they are only as effective as their wielder. In the hands of the Blackthumbs, they are of no concern.

In battle, we have been able to bait the Blackthumbs into attacking a wave of durable but disposable beasts before descending upon them with our main force. Our attacks are concentrated while theirs are scattered. That makes all the difference.

Gaius Marcellus Nerva

Victory through discipline

Original text

Nec muito mihi hoc assuescet arma - multi vocantur "sclopeta" secundum unam legati. Et mortifera sunt longe accuratius quam arcu. Sed telo ullo modo se gerit ut efficax. Blackthumbs in manibus sunt, iis nihil curae.

In proelio ad ursum potuimus Blackthumbs cadat in unda descendens nostra firma et bestiis quas videram ante vi efficanur. Nostrorum impetus non unita, dispersi sunt cum illis. Hoc facit omnis differentia.
