Heroic battles that you have won (or lost but made them bleed badly)

[Cesare diBorja]

As the Papal States, I have been at war with venice for 12 almost 13 years. The battles started off small. There have been at least 50-70 battles. Casualties started at around 70 to 500 for both sides but as technology progressed casualties entered the multi-thousands. In one particular battle I lost 3001 men and the Venetians lost 548. They outnumbered me with pavise crossbowmen, wiped mine out and then shot up most, along with siege artillery, of my army before I could really get a foot hold and then swept me away with light cavalry and 'broken' Lancers. I had two armies and they had three. THere have been several reversals in the war. Right now, its a stalemate. I have the very best tech, but the Venetians seem to counter my moves. They use their(AI) Venetian Archers as commandoes. Sometimes there will be two of those with 4 cavalry and 4 pavise crossbowmen and some artillery to follow up a previous attack to clear up one of my battered armies. The year is 1123.
I have made certain changes, one being 2 turns per year.
