[Rosedelio]

5. Coimbra (Christian): Rosedelio (Muslim 100% with Muslim 75% allies) versus Lennard (Muslim 75% with Muslim 50% allies).

The Badajoz lights swarm was intimidating, but the Granadan army was able to get in contact with the main force of infantry and cavalry. The camel lancers proved useful against the cavalry and in delaying some Veteran Muslim Spears.

That would mean the end to edb1815's ambitions and presence in The Crescent and The Cross, since his last province is now lost to him. Many thanks for participating and hope you enjoyed it!

Yes, it's still going on. Changdao is just now back from his vacation and I'll be back this weekend, and we'll then continue and conclude the battle. Sorry about the delay, but too much sun, good weather, and summer holidays since mid-June.

Rosedelio (Granada) defeats Lennard (Badajoz) 52-23

The Badajoz army had a scary center of knights, veteran spears, and almogavars, backed by lights and crossbows. However, the Granadine camel lancers and own veteran spears held them off while the swarm of light spear cav got around the flanks.
