Hi All
As we have entered the second lockdown in
Greece I had my second solo Pacto games.
My Nanzho faced off against my Free company
(well crusaders figures actually).
After scouting and set up the Nanzhao started
off.
The Nanzhao plan was to attack on their left
where 3 Tugs of Cataphracts and a Superior Nanzhao cavalry faced off against 1
superior knight, 1 Tug of crossbowmen, 2 Tugs of dismounted met at arms (one
was superior). They also wanted to attack on the right where 3 superior Tugs of
Long spear and 1 cavalry (unprotected) was up against 2 Tugs of dismounted men
at arms and 1 Tug of Brigands. In the center 2 tugs of spearmen (1 Short spear
+ 1 long spear) were locking at 2 tugs
of longbow men on the hill.
The Battle was split up in 3 separate actions.
A. On the left the Nanzhao ally Cataphracts
charged the enemy foot while the cavalry tried (in vain) to stop the knights.
After 2 rounds of combat the crossbow men first and the men at arms secondly
broke taking many Cataphracts with them, while the knights destroyed the
Nanzhao cavalry.
B. In the center the Nanzhao foot pressed up
the hill as to prevent the longbow men from assisting the two sides but they
were shredded from the shooting, when they finally charged it was bad for them.
C. On the right the Nanzhao foot charged in
while the cavalry was moving to flank charge the Free company units. The battle
was intense and both sides didn't have good dice rolls, but in the end the
cavalry arrived and helped the Nanzhao win.
A very nice battle and a good test as I am
thinking of playing the Nanzhao in an Open tournament (COVID permitting)
