Ituralde's plan ajfurst Send a noteboard - 19/09/2009 02:04:58 PM
I thought there'd be more discussion of Ituralde's POV than there currently has been. It seems fairly obvious he planned for the Seanchan to attack the city, yet I don't think it has enough soldiers in or around it to defeat Turan's force.

With the reference to the Sul'dam and Damane, I got the impression that the ambush is not intended to take out the whole army, but is a virtual suicide mission with the key aim of wiping out the Sul'dam and Damane, leaving the Seanchan to face conventional 3 to 1 odds, without the One Power support they are so used to having.

Am I the only one who read it this way? What are others takes on his plan of attack with the city?

I'm a little surprised nobody is discussing this. I thought this would get more attention. *NM* Lanfear - 20/09/2009 09:17:57 PM 318 Views
