Northwinds Chapter IV

                                      Assault at Rockwall



                  "Rockwall will be in my estimation one of my proudest
             victories of the War Years.  It was the decisive turning
             point in the war."         Admiral Proudmoore
                                      Northwinds, Crusade in Winter


                  "Lovitar-with the victory at Tirsa, the orcs were
             nominally in controll of the continent.  But we had a window
             of opportunity where a good attack could break their hold in
             the west completely.   But no effective counterattack could
             begin until their primary defensive position in the west was
             destroyed-Rockwall.  And since they knew we were coming, we
             would only have one shot at it if we were going to be able
             to establish a foothold before reinforcements arrived to
             secure the coastal fortifications."
                   Military Tactics and Strategies of the War Years

                  "Rockwall was a stroke of Military Architectural Genius
             by Tupak(Rockwall Commander).  He Had built a Coastal
             fortification that required a small division to control it,
             but could very nearly withstand a full scale invasion on our
             part.  In later years we adopted this format for some of our
             own strongholds"    
                            Trumball Halfaxe, Engineer Corps Stromgarde



                  Rockwall will be a much more aggressive test of your
             abilities.  It is different from most other PUD's in the
             sense that the resources are pretty much set.  you start out
             with alot of resources, but that will be all you will get.
             This has three basic stages to the strategy and a slight but
             very devastating alteration to one of the units(pay
             attention to your scouts)!  You will need to protect your
             units at all costs because you'll need every one of them!
             The purpose of Rockwall is to extend the strategy of the
             Tirsa PUD, but at a faster, costlier pace.
