Log:

So we had a nice little fight with Ikana. I destroyed them. It was fun. Sakon is currently being held in one of my best chambers.

To Sailboat

The Mountain Warfare items are done. 950 Dekus are being sent to you with the supplies. Unfortunately, I'll have to take 500 back. I know it's not as many troops as I promised, but Ikana is showing itself to be a bit more aggressive. They took the long way around Termina in order to avoid Ikana.

Phase 1: Gettting there

The maps of the land are quite clear. Between Snowhead and Ikana there exists a forest. This is going to be our way in. The troops will set out once they have reached snowhead -probably midday. Going over the bit of snow should be no problem for the dekus, who are naturally incredibly light and can fly. It should be about evening to night by the time they reach the forest. They will then set up camp for the night. Aswell as setting up piles of leaves and a few decoy dekus.

Phase 2: Some Fun

The Dekus, being well rested, will set up the canons in various seemingly random positions around the backside of the enemy base -within the forest- A ways back from each canon will be a ballista aimed at the canon. At every canon there will also be oil bombs, an entire stack of them. The canons will fire bombs into the camp, as many as they can get off before the enemy advances. At this point, the operators will jump into portable deku flowers after having set off a bomb. The blast will jetison the flowers away while simultaneously setting off the oil bombs. By the time the enemy reaches the scene, the ballista will be able to fire the torch and send the area up in flames.

If a deku is caught in flames, they will stab themselves non vitally with an ice arrow, thus negating the flames.

Once the canons are gone -I'm gonna say we have 100- the dekus will climb into the trees so as to blend in. They will then fly -using the much more discreet than pink flowers, merchant hats- from tree to tree, dropping bombs and shooting ice arrows from their various locations. Also please note they will have bunny hoods which will allow them even faster movement if they choose to jump and run through the trees.

Phase 3: Important Stuff

At this point, there should be a rather large focus on my force of 500 minus any losses. 50 of the dekus will then use their stone masks and sneak into the graveyard -they will scatter from eachother-, hopefully staying unseen. They will then gather intelligence.

Should the mod be nice to me: if we find the tunnel system, well we collapse it. Since it be collapsible, we have the bombs, so we just set it off so that there's no more little tunnel. -If reinforcements are called, I'd really hope I could find this tunnel.

Should the mod be nice to me #2: If we find skullkeeta, we will fire on him with ice arrows. If we are blocked by fire walls, we use the ice arrows to create a temporary passage.

The 450 will retreat if/when
They lose 300
The day ends

The 50 retreat when the day is over
if one of the war mod is really nice to me -both niceness factors are met

Notes:
All dekus will destroy all their supplies upon leaving them. The ballistas will be set alight after use so as to prevent the enemy from gaining them as spoils. A cornered deku will fire all his ice arrows in one shot. Etc.

We're using tactics that really haven't been used before or thought up. This should catch them off guard to say the least. I foresee much heavier losses on their side.
