An outing for my Teutonic Knights against Feudal German for another competition practice for Gordon. I went for an (almost) all mounted version of the army with just knights and light horse hoping to maneuverer to overwhelm part of the German army while delaying the rest with the light horse.
The Teutons move forwards quickly while the Germans are hampered by their Swedish ally being unreliable:
The army starts to redeploy to face the advancing Germans:
Light horse move up on the right to delay the rest of the Germans. The German allied command remains resolutely uncommitted to the cause:
If the Teutons can sort themselves out in time they should be able to overwhelm the Germans on the left flank, the question is will they sort themselves out or be taken out piecemeal?
The two sides prepare to engage:
Most of the German army is watching from a safe distance:
The initial Teuton attack goes badly:
Another clash is imminent:
If at first you don't succeed try again:
On the left the Teutons are finally in place and ready to charge. The Swedes continue to refuse to participate in the background:
Face off:
On the left after an initial setback the Teutons have overwhelmed and mopped up the Germans facing them:
Total victory as the last enemy is wiped out:
The situation is looking very bad indeed for the next group of Germans now their flank is exposed:
On the right the German knights advance slowly:
It's crunch time! The Swedes finally decide to join in the fight:
Both sides lose men but the Teutons are well on top overall:
The Germans break giving the Teutons a victory:
The unreliability of Gordon's Swedish ally pretty much decided this game, they refused to move for ages while the Teutons slowly rearranged themselves and picked off enough Germans to win with relatively few losses.
