Feudal French(182) vs Teutonic Knights (220)
The final franking on our Knights passports was from the Baltic states where we fought Paul's Teutonic Knights. On paper, at least, a more traditional match up.
Okay let's keep the plan simple. Knights against knights and try to see if the Infantry can keep up!
Contact Imminent! ps Note the heavy cavalry at each end of the line of knights.
The knights in the centre let the side down and were blown away by the opposition. However the heavy cavalry and knights on the left have destroyed their opposition.
The rapidly disappearing line of French knights is now a problem, but the heavy cavalry have broken through. Do they go for the camp or support the knights?
Wrong decision they support the knights and although we destroy some more Teutonic knights our cumulative losses tip the balance in Paul's favour.
Outcome
A Teutonic victory 21 to 17.
Lessons Learnt
- A close call whether to go for the camp or to support the knights, perhaps on balance I should have gone for the camp.
- I decided to not charge the pikes and heavy infantry spearmen against the knights, and I think that was the right answer.
I enjoyed your quick battle, Colin. I see faint grid markings on your table. Is ADLG a grid-based game?
ReplyDeleteJonathan ADLG is not grid based, but there are defined deployment zones for the start of the game and many players provide these as a reference on their playing mats
