Allendeuce's Hung-Crusaders defeat notjustdon's Welsh in a close and hotly contested battle.

Good game, notjustdon!
Edmund's Albanians 42/60 70% defeat nikoforosfokas's Danish 64/60 100%
A very tight game that could have gone either way until close to the end when the loss of both Danish generals proved just enough to tip things the Albanian way. Thanks for a very challenging game Kostas.

good terrain, pike vs. horse, greater numbers...hungarians were fighting up-mountain on this matchup... allen's good effort just wasn't going to be enough on this one! just when the hungarians would win a battle, the german swarms would sweep in from behind...with numbers

Thanks for the game. Tough going but numbers told in the end.
That is 16 games completed for me with none in progress. The last three challenges for SirLancelot22's Hussites, epos's Serbians and claytonengel's Ottomans have been up since 29 July with password 'Last'. Happy to play when you are ready.
If challenges are not picked up how should we finish things off?
result:
klayeckles germans 31/60 vs IMC Ord.French 54/48
crazy battle it was...the french had a very defensible spot, and advanced archers and xbow across the rough to rain down arrows...at first the germans had no answer...the MF bow were too numerous and deadly. in the open fields the heavy troops danced back and forth, not engaging, each army trying to get a weapon advantage on the other... the germans were beginning to hurt (and thought about sueing for peace)...but a contingent of german lancers made an interior move to the far flank that suffered from the missile assult. the lancers caught the bowmen in the rear, as they ran desparately for the cover of rough ground...and a major melee ensued involving large numbers of MF on both sides...it didn't go well for the french. when the opposing wings of heavies finally clashed, the results were almost immaterial, due to the massive damage suffered by the french light troops....the swiss pike on both sides remained largely undamaged when the french finally retired..
I have been given an all clear with reference to my heart and to start work on a ft basis again.
I hope to join up again shortly. Please do not reply to this on this forum as it will clutter up the posts.
I will be looking into starting up a small community group first so it may take some time and time will be limited but keep your eyes peeled in PMs as I may drop you a quick message for a challenge.

Thanks for the game. Nice to fight a historical opponent for a change.
I suspect I'm finished now with 17 games completed. I've had no response to the challenges for SirLancelot22's Hussites or claytonengel's Ottomans, but I will leave them up. Password 'Last' if you want to play them'.
Thanks to everyone and especially to Okie for organising it.
