[Privateerkev]

One of the decisive actions at Bern actually occurred on the first turn of the cataclysm. If Friedrich Karolinger had kidnapped Hans' double gold Feudal Knights, they would never have reached the city. That would have significantly decreased the power of the charge into the flank of the low-level Lutheran mob on turn 4, probably preventing them from being routed off the field. They also would not have been available to help Hans kill off Hugo and carve through the Zweihanders and Forlorn Hope.

Another game altering variable was simply the turns that Jan and Hugo got on the field. If Jan was one earlier than he was, and Hugo one later than he was, it would have gone different. If Hugo was one earlier than he was, and Jan one later than he was, it would have gone different.

That part was nail biting too. I wanted in the battle so bad the anticipation was palpable. I knew OOC things were going on and had some IC hints as well. The random reserve army mechanic really tossed the whole battle into the air.
