Lieutenants (not counting those in the captain's squad that have been held in reserve):
Warfare (Command) TN 9, gather 2+DoS of those intended to be on the original squad, assuming they are all still in the fight. Any additional slots filled up by others (not all squads can be filled up at this point).
Then:
Warfare (Tactics) TN 9
-May single out an enemy squad to attack according to preferences (specific squad, squad belonging to specific team, squad belonging to a team of opposing faction, prepare for whatever may come your way), number of DoS determines how successful one is.
Warfare (Command) TN 9
-Grants assistance bonus (based on warfare rank) to all tests of those in his squad for a number of rounds equal to 2 per DoS scored.
-Critical Failure: members of the squad suffers -2 to all test for the entire scene.
Captains (lieutenants in their squads may assist):
Warfare (Tactics) TN 9
-Identify the place in the fighting where the reserve force will be most useful, each DoS below the highest scoring captain: -2 TS
Warfare (Command) TN 9
-Delay time before the captain's squad enters the fray is 5-DoS on the command test. (They do not have lances).
Critical Failure (on either one) counts as -3 DoS scored.
Individuals may break from their squads and seek to go up against specific opponents or squads, warfare (tactics) TN 9 required, effectively reducing his officer's DoS on the command test by 1 (may cause critical failure).
After 10 combat rounds, the scene ends and captains and lieutenants tests:
Warfare (Tactics) TN 9
Warfare (Command) TN 9
Sum up total DoS across the team (critical failure counts as -3), with the captain's DoS being multiplied by 4. Reduce TS by 1 per DoS below the highest scoring team.
Bonuses to warfare to team members:
Roland: +3B+4 (Or +1D+1B+3)
Daemon: +2B+3 (Or +1D+3)
Bittersteel: +1B+3
Redtusk: +2
Robb: +2
Maekar: +2
Stormbreaker: +3
At the start of this scene, there are still two clusters of fighters (that turns into one cluster by the end of the scene, must make a command test as per captain section to see how many combat rounds it takes to engage someone in the other cluster).
Characters confirmed on-screen to be in the first:
Ulbert Starkwood

Roland's tactical accumen could not match the finest minds in the Seven Kingdoms despite Ser Aemon Flower's sage advice. He was flustered at times, trying to think of what Ser Donnel would have done rather than simply acting himself. A competent performance, but Roland had spent too long as a sword sword and champion rather than a captain to make best use of his team. The young knight had much to learn. However, well advised and surrounded by competent knights, he was at least able to lead his personal squad in to position swiftly. D11 Melee Mass Battle Warfare Tactics then Command TN9 - Aemon assists: 2#5d6k4+6 18 26- 2 DoS on Tactics roll - 4 DoS on Command roll |

Now it was time for him to decide what to do next. The Brute's rising body count was sure to attract attention and an overwhelming response. He considered a defensive formation until reinforcements arrived but Otho was an offensive weapon that'd been unleashed and he doubted he'd be able to bring Ser Otho to heel. Balon decided to stick with his original target, Lord Appleton and the squad he'd rallied with. "Ser Otho! Take down that giant bastard!" Balon pointed to Edric Fossoway, one of the strongest men in the Reach. "You two," he was referencing the Thorne knights, "engage the Darklyn brothers while you two," Balon wasn't quite sure who they were, "take out who you can.""Ser Damon Crane is mine."
In the corner of his vision Balon could see Wildfyre heading his way. Excellent, reinforcements.

As the remnants of Lord Hayford's squad cleared out, there was an ebb in the chaos of the melee, and within that ebb he saw the crumpled remains of Lord Blackwood, identifiable only by his shield. Good riddance. If not in the melee, then on a battlefield at a later point. Such a man would eventually get his due for spreading lies and playing politics so recklessly. I guess I can lay the conundrum of Esmerelle being the Falcon to rest now that the perpetrator is dead.But then he saw the other corpse in the dirt next to him and his internal gloating ceased. Daeron was angry. No. He was livid. No. He was furious. Ser Marlon's face, or what was left of it, was little more than a pink streak across his torso. Although he wore the green of an opposing team, one aligned with an opposing faction, Ser Marlon was a Companion, one of Daeron's true brothers, and it didn't take a maester to deduce what happened to him. In that moment all concerns about politics, the melee, and who should sit on the Iron Throne were swept aside and in their stead they were replaced with a singular directive. Revenge. Attacking the Brute of Bracken was no laughing matter and the least of its risks was his entire faction's loss in the melee, but he didn't care. He was going to kill that bastard. Raising his sword he shouted out to his gathered squad. "Men to me. We have a new target, one who's defeat will bring us glory beyond this tourney. Men, we're going to finish Blackfyre's work and kill the fucking Brute."
GM-Scene 5-Gather-Warfare (Command): 5d6k4+5 22 (3 DOS) (5 knights gathered) GM-Scene 5-Planning-Warfare (Tactics): 4d6+5 21 (3 DOS) (Target Otho) GM-Scene 5-Assist-Warfare (Command): 5d6k4+5 23 (3 DOS) (6 Rounds of Assistance) |

Sebaston Rowan (2 members, Cleyton Bolton, Brynden Butterwell)
Aerion Flowers (3 members, Samwell Rowan, Addam Frey, Eoric Applehouse)
The way this will play out is that the various squad leaders will seek out foes (or turtle down in defense which Robb and Stormbreaker's men will be doing), and then the captains decide where they want to go, entering on rounds:
2: Roland, Daemon.
3: Bittersteel.
4. Maekar, Robb, Stormbreaker, Redtusk.

Roland's team is in disarray. Ser Aerion and Lord Donnel pursues the strategy of battering down the team of the Red Lion, though the utter ruin of Ser Desmond's squad probably means that Prince Maekar is likely to focus his attentions to those of his men that are still fighting against a tough assault from those flying the banner of Redtusk means that if Ser Robb Reyne comes to their aid, Ser Aerion and Lord Arryn will soon find themselves trapped between Lord Gormon Peake and The Red Lion.
Elsewhere it looks even bleaker, Ser Sebaston and Lord Unwin are overwhelmed, while Ser Damon Crane and his men are overrun, with only Ser Daeron abandoning the partisan ways of the rest of his squad to engage Ser Otho Bracken, in what increasingly looks like a one-man quest for avenging Ser Marlon.
Three places Roland and his reserves needs to be, and where he does not go, the squads there are likely to fall apart.
Basically, pick out one of the scene 5 threads to join in, roll initiative and we'll sort it from there, need not be one of those with your squads in, but preferably not one of the off-camera fights. It would also be possible to split your reserves.
Captain's reinforcements works in the manner that they enter the sub-scenes by charging in their order of initiative.

Concentration of forces and defeat in detail - lessons the Reachmen had learned bitterly against the Dornish. As yet unwilling to rob Ser Daeron of the glory of avenging their Companion, Roland rode to attempt to complete his team's strategy, trying to fill in where others were too hard pressed.
They needed to try to defeat their foes swiftly, before the other captains entered the fray.
OOC: Roland, Aerion, Wyl, Symon and Jaime Fossoway to Lord Arryn's Scene.
Tommard and Preston to Ser Aerion Flower's scene.

Moving from one thread into another works like so:
1. No characters from another team in the thread at the start of the round: you may then charge into another thread keeping your initiative (this still takes another greater action)
2. Characters from another team in the thread at the start of the round: you may take a greater action to remove yourself from the thread, and then charge into another thread (requires extra actions to do in the same round), characters from other teams may charge you as you make this transition and basically follow you out of the thread.
Also, LT's assistance bonus only applies for as long as the LT is in the same thread as you and not defeated. (I forgot this for NPC's for the first round and I am not retconning anything that doesn't affect PC's directly for the time being).

Ser Aerion Baratheon, Prince Maekar and Ser Robb Reyne sees their squads being overrun. Bittersteel have burnished his tactical credentials by his effective splitting of Ser Roland's men, troubles that were compounded by Lord Arryn and Ser Aerion opening up a front against the Red Lion, across three fronts, the once front-runner has now sustained the heaviest losses, whereas the forces of Redtusk, Blakcfyre and Bittersteel have largely managed to keep themselves intact, with Ser Roland Redwyne increasingly looking like a very strong challenger for the victory given the present trends.
