Parson developed a plan to deploy a force of dwagons near the enemy column. The fastest dwagons (56+ Move) would be led by three of the five available uncroaked warlors, allowing them to selectively target enemy units and withdraw before destroying all encountered enemy forces. Their mission would be to raid the column and selectively target siege units. The slower dwagons would be deployed in a ring formation in heavy-tree terrain, creating a "fort" within which the wounded dwagons from the raids would be protected. On the next turn, the wounded dwagons would heal, and the entire force could then attack Ansom's remaining siege units and return to Gobwin Knob.
