==Stages==
#Barrier
#*Men performing rituals or bearing spells that allow them to pass through physical barriers
#*Magical barriers can be passed through by a body, but talismans and other artefacts will not, and magicient people themselves may have trouble getting through
#Breach
#*Men breaking through (breachmen, breakers, chargers, frontmen, vanmen)
#*Ideally, breaking a barrier with the next stage of attack
#Archery
#*Sending arrows through barrier or otherwise into enemy troops before your troops have charged
#Unleashing
#*Releasing beasts and monsters at the enemy to thin them out more, again before lines have met or your soldiers and theirs might be mixed up at all
#Cavalry
#*Mounted attack to trample and break up enemy
#*Now friendly soldiers have crossed the line of battle for sure
#*Lance then sword
#Magery
#*Send in mages for close magical combat
#Infantry
#*Often spears, swords secondary, less common for foot soldiers
#*Any weapons conscripts owned or could fashion, makeshift
==Notes==
