Imatson2527 using Hungarian allies attacks Gsf26
Type: Conquest

You won't be able to use Hungarians as allies this turn as per rule 8.1 (Mongol Raid):
During the turns when Mongol Raid is possible players cannot use forces of Rus and Hungary as allies (they are either fighting Mongols or were intimidated into alliance with them). As a reminder the territories of Duchy of Galicia-Volhynia and Kingdom of Hungary are marked with Mongol warrior figure.

You can still use Bohemians if you like.

In all other cases Defenders, please set up the battles, pick the terrain and (if you wish) allies out of those available.

The battles will be played simultaneously and should be resolved by 28 May at the latest. I know we haven't met the deadline of 3 weeks yet but third time's the charm? We'll see how it goes.

Good Luck and Have Fun!

Mongol raid

Imatson2527 attacks olin0111

base of attack : Kingdom of Hungary
Target of the raid : #1

Was checking the list of battles and realized my raid wasn’t on it. I was pretty sure I could do it as well as the conquest this turn. If not no issues!

Sorry! I missed it somehow :/ Maybe because I was focused on discussing the available allies this turn. Anyway, you had 3SPs at the start of the turn and conquest costs exactly 3. So either you make the mongol raid and some other attack like foreign conquest, which costs 2, or stick to your conquest declaration against Gfs26.

[imatson2527]

My bad. Had in my head that conquest was two SP. I will stick with that and forgo the mongol raid.

Imatson2527 using Bohemian allies attacks Gsf26
Type: Conquest
Starting point: Land no. 25 (Cieszyn)
Target: Land no. 24 (Opole)

Victory for Imatson2527 55-63

Super close game with the battle being focused on a ridge line that dominated the center of the battlefield. Gsf26 knights smashed through my right flank put were unable to stop their pursuit and return to the battle. Meanwhile, the center and left flank went in my favor and allowed for a very close win. Great game!

2. Gfs26 attacks Olin0111
Type: Mongol Raid
Starting point: Lands no. 3 (Sandomierz)
Target: Land no. 20 (Kalisz)

Olin0111 defeats Gfs26 41-13

After some pillaging of the countryside Mongols got a bit cocky and decided to attack in very unfavorable terrain only to be met with hails of arrows from the defenders. Mongols tried somehow to storm the forest and rugged land the archers and crossbowmen were located but were repulsed and fled the field. The loot that they had stolen has been recovered and the slaves freed!

Honestly, I don't know if we could roll more atrocious terrain for the Mongols. Despite it being agricultural map I, as adefender, got an almost solid wall of forest on my side. There wasn't much Gfs could do about it but he fought bravely.

Summary of battles for turn 3:

1. Aetius39 attacks Olin0111
Type: Conquest
Starting point: Lands no. 5 (Radom)
Target: Land no. 1 (Krakow)

Olin0111 defeats Aetius39 50-22

Lots of chaos on the wings but I managed to get some flank and rear attacks and my dismounted knights were able to rout spearmen in the centre.

[Aetius39]

Aetius's Polish defeat Olin's nasty Mongols 57-29

Poles had a bit of luck (divine intervention?) on their side; ocean on the side of the map made it narrower, and there was a decent sized patch of forest the defenders could use to hem the Mongols in more. Still a bit of a slugfest; it took a while for the Mongols to break and retreat. GG Olin!
