Jon gives florence a good fisting.

POW battle held at Ian's last Friday. Jon had a papal army with condotieri and mercenary pike
I took a Florentine army with 2No divisions of condotieri
 
Florentine cavalry on the attack

Florentine main slowly advance

Papal cavalry on hold

papal CandC on hold

Papal mercenary pike on the right flank
The Florentines avoided these

Russ's favourite dice


Florentine cavalry started well punching a hole in the Papal cavalry
 

The Papal pike on the move


High point of the Florentine cavalry



where's all the Florentine cavalry gone


Oh there it is
"It's dead Jim"

main Florentine division forced to halt by army morale as the pike close in

The last of the Florentine cavalry

Pike push thru Florentines like they weren't there
 
And that was the end.
Nice game, enjoyable company
Thanks gents
Mark

It was an excellent game. By turn 4 it looked like Jon's Papal army had been crushed, by turn 12 the game had completely turned around and Mark's Florentines were melting away! I would say Jon is now ready for the campaign just need to get a game in with Phil and the Spanish.

Sounds like you had a great game and a POW roller coaster experience. It's the only set of rules that creates such uncertainty. You can truly believe you have lost or are on the verge of a crushing victory and then realise in a dash that you have swung things around in your favour or have been robbed of certain glory.

Can't wait for the campaign to begin
