    Nothing but Organ Guns.

    Had it happen once The slaughter was spectacular.

    Fortunatly the AI had a low valour army and few reinforcements...they were happy to "Run Away!" and I was happy to let them

    So much advice!!

    In the end I went for 1x RKt(general's unit 8 star), 2x ChKts, 1x Hobilar, 1 x Jinettes, 3 x CMAA, 4 x longbow, 4 x bills. The boys plunged into Hungary and first up was the King with about 1,000 troops - some royal knights, some light cav and a load of infantry - archers, spears, urban militia. Finally - why does the AI like them so - 2 ballistas! I deployed fighting infantry up front, then missiles with heavy cav at the back with light cav near the wings. The Hungarians deployed to my right and made a half hearted attempt to out flank me while I redeployed my army. I engaged the rear/ right flank of his army with my light cav to slow him down - my Jinettes duffing up a unit of RKts, so he never really got close to outflanking me. As my infantry got close to engaging, the army withdrew into a wood. My infantry plunged in... and found nothing! Some reinforcements looked over a hill - then they went as well. So I had routed the whole army - but not killed many, lost a handfull of men and most of the army hardly broke sweat! The only thing I can assume is that my battlehardened troops - 8 star leader, high valour troops - scared the pants off the Hungarians. I have mopped up the Hungarian empire - killed the King, captured and ransomed the hier etc. Time to draw a viel over this campaign, I think, load VI - I've had it for 3 months but wanted to finish this campaign - and start something new - either a viking romp or something Eastern I think. Thanks to everybody who has given their thoughts and advice - I will be back when the new campaign kicks off!!
