Ya, I am going to have to fall back to Wien and make a stand there, hopefully reinforcement arrive in time. If any additional troops can be trained there it would greatly improve my chances of surviving an assault if you can't make it soon.

I can get back there this turn to relieve the siege, or potentially just send back some troops for you while I carry on to Innsbruck and hire more mercs.

We'll see when we get the next save.

Hopefully this is the last major Hungarian army for a little while, eh?

Yes please, I don't even understand where that army came from.

Pope Gregory has control of various pits of Hell scattered throughout Europe. He simply spawned the army from the most convenient one.

LOL,
probably true...

An impressive battle Tristan, I hope you post something about it in the Battle Reports thread. I take it most of your casualties were from the crossbows?

Who is going to take Harold Merode?

I'll be sure to post something in the Battle report thread though there'll be few screenshots, the battle was too tense for me to think about taking some...

The casualties were mostly from Xbows though not as much as one would think... I managed to keep them on the move, preventing them from reloading... I could perhaps have achieved better results if I had managed to kill the army general sooner...

I had my finger on the Withdraw button when the Victory screen appeared.

Cavalry truely rules !!

Not so much... After the first charge, most missile units were on the move and I had only to run after them until sufficient losses made them rout... Same goes for the peasants... A single well-timed charge made them rout as well. The first militia unit routed when charged from the rear by the mercs while trying to catch my general.

My biggest problem and fear was the last militia unit... I was down to less than 15 men overall against 100... And with men exhausted with meant that their charges were almost without effect...

Oh, and thanks for all the praise

... I had to make do with what I had or have Lothar sit on his butt doing nothing...
