🧠 Tactician’s Choice #1 – How Would YOU Lead?
In Shields of Loyalty, strategy isn’t just about firepower — it’s about foresight, positioning, and synergy. Every unit counts, and your army composition will shape the course of your campaign.
This week, we’re starting something new — a recurring post series called “Tactician’s Choice”, where we pose battlefield dilemmas to test your tactical instincts.
So let’s begin...
⚔️ The Scenario:
The skies are overcast. You’ve just landed on the shores of Mantaria. Enemy scouts are nearby. You must deploy your starting army — 10 units only.
You can only choose one of the following compositions:
💪 Option A: Infantry Core – 10x Heavy Infantry
Reliable, tough, and capable of holding the line. Ideal for choke points and direct confrontation.
Strengths: Defence, endurance, front-line strength
Weaknesses: Vulnerable to ranged pressure, slow movement
🐎 Option B: Mobile Assault – 10x Light Cavalry
Speed and flanking power. Can zip across the battlefield and pressure weak units.
Strengths: Speed, flanking, mobility
Weaknesses: Fragile, suffers in prolonged combat
🏹 Option C: Rain of Arrows – 10x Ranged Units
Hit enemies from afar before they can reach your formation. Excellent in open terrain.
Strengths: Damage output, kiting, support
Weaknesses: Vulnerable when isolated, needs protection
🧭 Which would YOU choose — and why?
Would you play it safe and tanky, go for lightning-fast pressure, or control the battlefield from a distance?
💬 Share your thoughts in the comments.
💥 Bonus: Tell us which faction you’d pair with your choice!
