Arab Indian (135) vs Feudal Scots (184)
An army I had been considering for some time and which might be relevant to Attack were the Arab Indians. In theory it brought together the mobility of Arab abd Indian Cavalry with the shock value of an Elephant. A significant challenge for it would be to take on an infantry army and one led by Harry! I was attacking in the plains and massed my mobile troops on the left with the infantry in a holding position on the right.
At the outset we decided to switch flanks and so the grand procession commenced.
With the elephants swinging to their left heading to engage the Scottish Knights. The Arab and Indian cavalry manoeuvred for an opening, or at the very least to pin the enemy foot in place.
Premptively one of the Arab Cavalry charged and engaged the enemy and destroyed them. However in the centre the Scottish Nobles are playing coy and holding themselves in reserve, to allow their foot to win the battle for them.
The Elephant was destroyed by being attacked in the front and flank, while its attackers have now been similarly attacked in flank by our reserves. The foot on the left are now moving to engage and support the Indian swordsmen.
The Arab and Indian Cavalry have deigned to become involved in the battle but with little effect. In the centre the Scottish Knight caught in the flank has survived its assault on its flank by the Arab general and has the temerity to wound the general in turn!. After taking sometime to become involved the Arab and Indian foot have acquitted themselves well.
Outcome
Given the time and casualties and the lack of will the Arab-Indin forces conveded the battle to the infidels from the heather. I don't often concede but time and energy were at a premium on this day.
