Here is the army book  to help players make their armies.

martin's Carolingian army   Army Number 49.

Mounted skirmishers  x 4 = 32
Foot skirmishers  x 5= 35
Close order infantry  LEVY x 6= 60
Cavalry x 6= 120  1 elite, 2 Veteran, 3 armoured, 2 shock + 55= 175

TOTAL 302

This army will probably keep the cavalry together.
Same for the infantry.
The cavalry need to attack and the infantry need to defend.
This will probably result in a "hinge" type attack or a defence reliant on some hills?
No shooters might be a problem but plenty of skirmishers.

Battle tactics AGK.
A= advance which would help if attacking.
G = Goto. Might help in a crucial circumstance. eg to reinforce the levy infantry
K= Keep order. Cancel a pursuit against my valuable cavalry.

Victory guaranteed(?)

Just remember to attack all along the line, Martin. Can't go wrong!

Simon

No matter the situation I have given the battle orders.
"Frontal assault".
It might work one day?

martin

[martin goddard]

Almost there.
Anyone else have a table set up they would like to use?
I think Entoyment has expanded their menu too.

[Stewart 46A]

Sorry I can't join the fight
Cot COVID end of September and still suffering the effects but they are slowly weakening
(Still have a cough and no voice)
And hopefully will be back playing next week


Stewart

[Smiley Miley 66]

Sorry to hear that Stewart. Is it the beginnings of "long covid"?
Hopefully will be starting your tanks next week ? Just got to sort out my AK47 bases first ?
Start making up some more officer bases. I already had a few done but not on 30 x 40 bases. I previously done them so in a "large" force it looked good to have some command figures in the mix ?
But anyway.
Sorry I can't come tomorrow I am Skint/brassic so I can't afford to pay for the table or all day tea etc ?
So I ll do some sorting and some bases shifting etc then hopefully start some painting instead tomorrow!
