Often a mustering ground for the nobility, this huge open field is where the Western host awaits King Rycherd's army.

March 14th, 382.
The Lannister army is spread out, Highgarden to their north, the queen prisoner in it under heavy guard. King Brynden summons his bannermen as the Reach approaches. "Ser Tomas, the center is yours. Lord Jaymes, you have the left with Ser Korben and Hollis Clegane. I shall have the right with Lord Commander Brax. Lord Bolton, you have the reserves."

"Yes, My Liege." Korben said with a bow of his head to King Brynden, before glancing over towards Jaymes and Hollis. The large man is intimidating even when doing relatively nothing, and korben found himself eager to see if Jaymes would bring the passion he'd brought for taking highgarden to bear against those looking to reclaim it.
"I look forward to fighting with you both." He said with a grin, eager to put his greataxe to some proper use.

Rycherd deploys his troop numbers with himself leading the centre. As they deployed, he rode amongst his troops exhorting and encouraging them, reminding them that they smashed the Dornish invaders at Oldtown and ran the Starks to a standstill at Kings Landing.

Round 1:
Command:
Rycherd (+24 for troops): 149 Tomas (+30 for troops): 181
King Rycherd Tyrell: 94 Ser Matthis Tarly, the Green: 141 Ser Glendon Redding, the Purple: 177 Ser Raymun Fossoway, the Red: 146 Ser Petyr Ashford: 169 Ser Philip Greenfield: 92 (-35, wounded and withdraws)
VS
King Brynden Lannister: 131 Lord Commander Brax: 119 Ser Tomas Serrett (Commanding): 100 Lord Jaymes: 130 Ser Korben: 168 Ser Hollis: 191 Lord Bolton: 144
The Reach advances powerfully, King Rycherd's superbly disciplined cavalry smashing into Lord Jayme's area, but the western lord has thick rows of spearmen who blunt the assault, while Ser Tomas's ace in the hole deploys; a massively strong frontal push with heavy infantry, overrunning the levies before them. Already the battle is bloody, and quarter will be a virtue seldom revealed here.
Reach: 18,750 men West: 28,500 men
Random Event: 5 (nothing)

Round 2:
Rycherd: 201 Tomas: 156
Weapons for both sides tied at 179, no stat significant rolls
Rycherd's men fight bravely in the sight of their ruined castle, breaking through Brynden's line on the left. Lord Bolton's reserves fill the hole and the bloodletting increases in earnest. Archers on both sides have hard times drawing beads on targets in the melee.
Reach: 16,000 West: 25,500

Round 3:
Rycherd: 181 Tomas: 184
Rycherd: 173 Ser Matthis Tarly, the Green: 180 Ser Glendon Redding, the Purple: 162 Ser Raymun Fossoway, the Red: 111 Ser Petyr Ashford: 134
VS
King Brynden Lannister: 119 Lord Commander Brax: 167 Ser Tomas Serrett (Commanding): 134 Lord Jaymes: 145 Ser Korben: 181 Ser Hollis: 179 Lord Bolton: 133
A wonderfully and phantasmagorically bloody stalemate is happening. Tactics are eschewed in favor of sheer brutality. Superior numbers tend to be favored in this sort of attrition warfare.
Random Event: 10 (Korben VS the Red Knight)
Reach: 13,500 West: 23,000

Round 1:
Korben: 167 Red Knight: 111
Korben smashes the man with his greataxe, a shield no match for his power.
Round 2:
Korben: 155 Red Knight: 80
Korben offs the man's head (he had plate but 2 heavy hits is GG)

Round 4:
Rycherd: 202 Tomas: 211
Rycherd: 173 Ser Matthis Tarly, the Green: 121 Ser Glendon Redding, the Purple: 189 Ser Petyr Ashford: 156
VS
King Brynden Lannister: 128 Lord Commander Brax: 179 Ser Tomas Serrett (Commanding): 141 Lord Jaymes: 121 Ser Korben: 113 Ser Hollis: 192 Lord Bolton: 121
More bloodletting! The crows and valkyries rejoice, and Bryce Dayne is smiling in his dark castle as his enemies slaughter each other. Men are already spearing the wounded. Surrender is barely an option.
Reach: 10,000 West: 20,000

Round 5:
Rycherd: 191 Tomas: 140
Rycherd: 186 Ser Matthis Tarly, the Green: 101 Ser Glendon Redding, the Purple: 34 Ser Petyr Ashford: 114
VS
King Brynden Lannister: 102 Lord Commander Brax: 156 Ser Tomas Serrett (Commanding): 113 Lord Jaymes: 165 Ser Korben: 134 Ser Hollis: 119 Lord Bolton: 134
The Reach is now pushing the West back somehow, and a rally check will be needed for the tired soldiers, exhausted after their siege prosecution. The cavalry is the decisive weapon at Tyrell's disposal here, smashing aside the feeble pikemen before them.
Reach: 9,000 men West: 17,500 men
Rally: 148 (-5)

Round 1:
Rycherd: 149 Jaymes: 134
The lord and king clash, and they hammer at each other as the battle rages. The lion lord is hungrier for blood, but the Rose is far more experienced.

Round 3:
Rycherd: 123 (-25 now) Jaymes: 171
Jaymes lands another solid hit as men press between them, and Rycherd struggles to stay ahorse, using a pikeman to create a second's breathing room.
