i am the italians in my MTW campaign. its the late period and ive trained an elite punch army that i drop in enemy terrain to weaken their economy and to butcher armies. when i launched a counterattack into spain to free portugal which the almohads had taken i had to retreat before the power of their main force. 6000 man big. i retreated all my armies to regroup and ordered the already battered elite punch force to halt and cripple their advance.

i seriously never though i would win!!!! my army not more than 650 men fought off their main force killing over 4500 men. though the price was high only 89 men survived to say the other day.

i was so lucky that i held my stance in valencia and not leon or somewhere else. for the reason that the valencia map had a river...with 2 bridges. with some tactical tricks i defeated their elite waves with minor casualties. though after those waves my man were exhausted and couldnt perform the trick. so i advanced till the line where soldiers leave and enter the battlefield and made a stance. my general was almost killed he was the only in his unit to survive.

i thought please let this be the last wave when the message the enemy is routing popped up...my troops could held out another wave

this battle marked the end of Almohad supremecy. a few turns later civil war erupted and they were demoted into rebel factions...

tell me yours
