That battle was tricky, too. We had to avoid Hoshidan and Nohrian forces at the same time...so we ended up barricading pathways with rubble to keep them away from us and each other. And then we could only get a few people over to the invisible forces at a time. I think their commander was across a river in the town, so only people partnered with someone on a pegasus or wyvern could get across...
