One time, long ago, in the virtual land of England there was a General named Rodger of Leeds. This general would have wet himself at the notion he should be in command at all but one day rebel's were standing outside his castle of Nottingham and were calling him naughty words. So the genral rallied his army and got ready to engage the professional army parked outside.
Lol. Well Rodger's bodyguard was my only cavalry unit I had besides a unit of hobilers coming as reinforcements. Well my two spear milita, one town militia, and one peaseant were deployed in a line in the thick woods outside Nottingham. One spear milita unit was in schiltron while every other unit hid in the woods on my flanks. I waited for my hobilers to find a good hiding place behind the general and then the rebels attacked. His army consisted of two units of Levy spearmen, Armoured swordsmen, Dismounted English Knights, and the general's unit English Knights!
Well Rodger and the peasents engaged the swordmen routing them very fast. The combined ambush+general's cav charge. The enemy DEK and spears attack the unit in schiltron onlly to be abushed by my other spears. With the general and the peaseants free I have them move in and destroy the enemy army. The rest of the battle is just trying to catch the enemy general before he runs off the map!
My first heroic victory. I'll remember it for a while. With what I had I didn't think I could possibly win, esspesialy since this was my first campaign. Well.. Rodger of Leeds became my favorite after this battle!
