Man, those Vikings a a bunch of bad muthas It was in the early stage and I barely had an army, but I had 2 units of Vikings, one prince and his royal night guards, and a unit of archers, hardly an overwelming group of guys Well anyway, the peasantry in Mormandy didn't dig my taxing to the point of lunacy policy and revolted. I'm talking 3 units of archers, 4 units of peasants (not the baddest group of dudes, but still 800 smelly, teeth rotting, inbred, scumbags), and a 2 units of hobilars. Don't know were those indignant rabble got access to horses but I'll continue. I was perched high on a hill (I must say the view was great), and was at the ready. I marched my prince around the left flank, the whole time behind the hill, so that the opposing force could not see my deception. The fools charged dirrectly up the hill to meet my Vikings. I rain arrows down on the insulate buggers while they climbed. Half way up, I charged in It was a beautiful site of carnage I continued to fire volley after volley onto the hobilars, for some reason the stayed perched at the hills foot. At that point, thier lines wavering, I charged from behind with my knights. That was the straw that broke the camels back.
I know this wasn't some ingenious strategy or a huge desperate fight, but thats what I love about this game. Whether its 500 or 8000 troops duking ot out, their is always a grand sense of satifaction when well played tactics are imployed and you enemy lied vanquished before you http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif
