Given the situation, where in your battle line will you place your three hundred shieldmaidens?
Auxilaries are deployed to the flanks of the legions, thank you ladies, go get in line.

>where in your battle line will you place your three hundred shieldmaidens?
do they come with the giant boars in the background?
cause if I cannot have BEAR cavalry I'll damn sure take BOAR cavalry...
"be ready for a cavalry charge through their rear lines, I'll have the grenadiers provide some men for bomb throwing...kill anyone foolish enough to come into your reach and set fire to everything else, GRENADIERS I need twoscore men to ride with their tailings sewing the ground with craters and exacerbating the flames."

I thought Auxilaries took the>>46091017
front line to soften up the enemy.
>Given the situation, where in your battle line will you place your three hundred shieldmaidens?
Well if they're boar cavalry Id say right flank to break through and encircle.
>>46091574
Varies wildly depending on the type of auxilia, the general's inclination, and the terrain they were fighting in. Typically the lighter infantry of the auxilia was deployed on the flanks of the real legionary cohorts, but as an army was likely more auxiliary than legionary it meant that a major part of the main line was auxiliary. Sometimes they would be advanced ahead of the line to blunt charges and flush out enemies, but the Romans knew that the best part of their army was the heavy infantry, and it was generally uncommon for them to treat auxiliaries as just meat shields (unless they were a bunch of uppity Goths you wanted to have massacred so they'd stop threatening revolt, allegedly).
>>46090932
I'd need to know the field, for true.
But more than likely if I have three hundred boar chargers it will involve the words "exposed flank", "wedge formation" and "charge".

If the way you approach a battle isn't able to be used as a euphemism for what you did to the enemy general's wife the night before, you aren't very good at war.

>Given the situation, where in your battle line will you place your three hundred shieldmaidens?
In the fucking trash with the rest of your awful fetish.
>>46091555
I was just about to ask what a Norman is doing at the head of a Frisian Levy.
>>46091931
The Frisian is behind the Norman woman.

>not having a woman warrior fetish
Why you hate fun anon?

>>46091964
Behind every strong Norman man is a strong Frisian woman.
>>46090932
She'll be serving directly under me.
>>46091998
Same reason no one likes your rule books
>>46091919
Man, those are some terrible panties. Not just in terms of battle wear, but they're clearly too small for her, must be terribly uncomfortable.
>>46090932
>Giant (potentially elephant sized?) Boar
Does that come with all of them? If so, vanguard. If they've got one or no doom boars, put them towards the center of the ranks and have the units on either side prepared to fall in when their round shields and leathers cause them to lose ground compared to other, better armored forces, at which point we can catch the enemy's drive in a pincer.
>>46090932
>Implying a half-feral tribal woman (like the average Frisian) would have breasts that large or firm.
She's obviously a Danish girl dressed up in whatever gear she could find back at camp.
>>46092080
Terrible uncomfortable underwear is still somehow more realistic than shieldmaidens.
>>46092080
>The panties are so tight they're pressing into her labia
I don't even want to imagine how bad that feels in motion.
>>46092103
>She's obviously a Danish girl dressed up in whatever gear she could find back at camp.

fool! you've fallen to her trickery
>>46090932
Excuse me, I'm sorry. I came into this thread looking for someone else.
>>46092163
>implying people are intimidated by some weak girl whose daddy allowed her to play soldier for a day.
>>46092163
Heavy armor and rigid padding would mean her breasts are actually *bigger* than they appear, since they're getting squished down.
She isn't a Dane, she's practically Swedish!
>>46092147
If she tries to sidestep, I bet she gets halfway through the movement before she collapses.
150 on either flank to absorb any cavalry charges.
>>46092211
I think you have that backwards...
the covers would be thick and increase size...this would however exacerbate the issues
>>46092440
big, thick coverings would increase apparent objective size but decrease apparent cup size because the latter measure is a ratio of ribcage:bust
>>46092115
Both are highly likely to have existed in one form or another. One has attestations of period scholars both opposed to and in favor of the practice as well as evidence in archaeology and cultural anthropology. The other one can probably be found at Target but is unlikely to have seen much use. Mixing the two is far less likely
>>46092638
>because the latter measure is a ratio of ribcage:bust
...the shit I learn on 4chan...
point conceded...
>>46090932
Seeing that our allies have seen fit to gift us this meager force I will utilize it properly. As the enemy's lines are their strongest in the center, they will serve to break their central line allowing my own forces to exploit the opening. Their secondary objective is to fight their way to the enemy commander themselves, many will die but I have faith in their abilities. Light cavalry shall take to the flanks to clean up the stragglers and the crows shall feast on this victorious battlefield by the day's end.

I am shopping at the wrong Targets.
>>46094034
Or the women around you are shopping at the right ones for them.

>"However they are no ordinary warriors, they are... well... this is their leader."
"Welp, we're fucked. is it too late to sign a treaty?"
>>46090932
Put them in the center and let every soldier know that there are women warriors watching them. And you dont wanna be out done by a woman, now do you? Dont wanna run away while the chicks are not, now do you?
>>46090932
They shall form on our left flank.
Our main forces will take the enemies initial attack and hold them in place. Our standard cavalry will engage the enemies flank guard while the Frisian Boar Riders wheel around to strike the enemy either from behind or the side. I will leave the discretion of the matter to the leader but I need them to charge the enemy at the most opportune moment to break up their forces as much as possible.
Captains, ye know the strategy. Your roles have not changed. Let us go to battle and let this day be remembered for years to come.

>under the assumption that those boars are a thing
"You'll wait for the halberds under Lind to hold the foe and pin them in place before engaging from Lind's right. Thank you for coming, we're happy to have you here."
>under the assumption it's just the shieldmaidens, no boars
Our swordsmen need a backing force, please join them in the line to act as a reinforcement element. I expect a degree of cooperation and initiative from my commanders, so please find Captain Focht to find out how he will signal for you to join his men. Thank you for coming, we're happy to have you here."

Wow, you must be really cool! Can I suck your dick?

Eh, my girl likes it when she's at home in private. Enjoys the feeling of it rubbing on her constantly. Of course this assumes its a prelude to sex.. otherwise she gets frustrated and cranky.
Front and centre.
Let them have their blood.
In the kitchen.
Where they belong.
