MEG PACTO

Hi All

As the corona virus outbreak is keeping us in house I played my first Pacto game.

Oponents were Later Northern Song vs Almoravid

set up

The LNS had 9 tugs of mix foot, 2 tugs of cav bow/short spear, 1 tug of bow

The Almoravid had 1 tug exepctional foot, 3 tug superior long spear, 4 tug short spear shield wall, 2 sug cav Jav, 1 tug cav bow, 2 tug loss foot short spear

the number of tugs and sug i got in the pacto list was the same as in Maximus but far less bases (tugs of 2 bases).

the battle started with the PBS and in the end we had one rough hill and two vineyards (hope i got the dimension correct).

end of turn 1

The two armies set up opposite one to the other.

The LNS wanted to take their time to shoot at the Almoravid and the Almoravid wanted to charge in as to get shoot as few times as possible.

end of turn 2

A foot tugs cannot fall back in Pacto the LNS would have to do what they could and then stand and fight.

First contact 

The game had some maneuvering mostly by the horse troops.

a gap in the Almoravid line

And then in turn 3 we had the Almoravid charge.

Another gap

Due to good by rolls from the LNS in the shooting as the chargers came in and in the combat in the impact phase the Almoravids lost about 5 tugs for 2 of the LNS.

At the end of combat

As both armies had a break of 6 it was called.
