Feudal lords rule campaign round 1

[awesum4]

The battles for the first round are

Dilly using Irish 1494 plays Doyley50 using English 1494
GDod using Scottish 1494 plays Gribol using Kalmar Union 1494
PeterthePainter using Portuguese in Morroco plays SMJohno77 using French 1494

Lascar using Russian 1494 plays KiwiWarlord using Georgian 1494
W_Michael using Ottoman 1494 plays AkvGoeben using Moroccan 1494

I've only listed the first year of the army list.

The first player sets up the battle;
Extra Nations V3, Open Battle using Large armies in Agricultural Terrain

If you lose the battle you become the vassal of your opponent and fight to help him enlarge his empire in future battles (there are no revolts in out mythical feudal world).
If its a draw you both retain your independence, for now.

W_Michael with 12,673 Ottoman 1494 (63%) lost to AkvGoeben with 15,186 Moroccan 1494 (43%). It was a pell-mell melee across the entire battlefield. Congratulations my liege of Morocco.

That is a massive win, even bigger than Tyrone's will be over me.

So Its Great Khan Brian ruler of the Steppes and all the Russias

They say that a plan only lasts till first contact with the enemy.

We had a plan; Massed arquebus holding the wood on the right, 2,000 man pike blocks wearing down his 1,000 man pike blocks in the centre, all our light horse on the left to overwhelm his light horse and delay his elite knights, italian knights in reserve to hold up his left wing light horse and protect the rear of our pike.
His light foot arquebus destroyed our massed arquebus, his 1,000 man pike shattered our 2,000 man pike, his few light horse in desperation charged our light horse who either evaded and got run down or shattered on impact. His elite knights charged light horse threw long and caught them then pursued long and caught our knights who were manoeuvring.

Final result Italy lost 42% to Germany's 7% and has become a vassal of the Holy Roman Empire.

Long live the Emperor Tyrone the first of his name.

[AKvGoeben]

W_Michael with 12,673 Ottoman 1494 (63%) lost to AkvGoeben with 15,186 Moroccan 1494 (43%). It was a pell-mell melee across the entire battlefield. Congratulations my liege of Morocco.

Well fought, my new fiercely loyal (and to be rewarded) vassal. I must admit, I didn't quite expect the charges of the tribal cavalry to be so effective.

A messy battle to be sure.

[PeterThePainter]

Portuguese in Morocco 1494 - 1519 (12% routed) defeated French 1494 (42% routed).

22,500 Portuguese (including Tribal light cavalry) took on 17,000 French (with a fair proportion of Swiss and German mercenaries). Whilst the extra troops were useful I think it was the extra units that swung it for the Portuguese, you get so many more 1,000 men keils. The French had four 2,000 men mercenary keils whereas the Portuguese had more than a dozen 1,000 men pike blocks.
As usual well played to my opponent to SMJohnso77

[Doyley50]

English (Doyley50) v Irish(Dilly)

The English lose to the Irish 61-40 after a somewhat chaotic battle that had the Irish running rings around the rather ponderous English, good game thanks Dilly,well played.

[SnuggleBunnies]

SnuggleBunnies (Imperial) defeats Linkinbrick (Polish) 42-12

Raw pikes, massed missiles, and a strategy of avoiding contact with the masses of Polish draby lead to victory.

We are just waiting for the result of the battle between GDod and Gribol, then we can move on to round 2.

Almost there Andre...it looks like gribol will take this one...it's been a long walk to the right flank and I've been out for 3 days...shouldn't be long now.

[gribol]

Those damn Scots are so tough. We had to use every unworthy of war tricks to defeat their schiltrons. However, it cost us a lot. Let's hope this isn't a pyrrhic victory!
After a fierce maneuvering fight, 60:44 for the Danes.
