My Kaiser's 2nd son sees a nice lonely rebel unit sitting north of Vienna so he decides to go take it out. It looks like a Crossbowman, easy target. He attacks and the odds are 1:2, what?
Behold....

This guy is some sick cross between a Genoese Crossbowman on steroids and a DFK, minus the shields. 15 AP MISSILE!!! Thats not a crossbow its a frackin ballista. And its only turn 6!

So I figure I'll charge, they'll get a volley off, 1 or 2 BGs go down, half the hussites get skewered. Pull back and charge again to avoid melee, which i want to avoid. The best laid plans....

Start charging.... they shoot... blood splatters everywhere, 3 BGs fall.... and


Completely STOPPED. By one shot from one crossbow unit. Damn. Reform and charge 3 more times before 54 hussites are killed and they finally rout. One of the successful charges was a little too slow and the BGs got a face full of point blank AP 15 missiles on impact - 5 more dead. In the end, 12 dead BGs and a nice Heroic Victory.

Lucky for me the AI is dumb and went on the attack (due to odds), moving out of their original position in the woods. That would have been a nightmare.....
