Please choose both a first and second choice of armies so I can allocate battles against someone you haven't played in the first 2 rounds.

TyroneC using Swedish 1630-1634 against KiwiWarlord using Imperialist 1619-1632

Swedes win 53-10.
Tough battle for the Imperialists as the Swedish infantry is so much better.
The benefits of free thinking over authoritarianism !!!

The Swedes 21 Pike & Shot units walked over the 12 Imperial Tercios suffering very few casualties in the process.

Imperial Light Horse were the best performing troops in the Imperial Army.

Tyrone lead his troops very well, well done.

My Spanish won against Dilly's German Protestants, 40-0.

The Ottoman Empire defeated the Polish forces 61:43.

This is truly a new Battle of Chaeronea, in which the brave Poles fought to the very end!

They deserve an honorary soldier's funeral right next to our Janissaries, who fought like lions.

Glory to the heroes!

This was a great contest of arms, decided by the superior leadership of Sultan Gribol who made great use of the little terrain on an open battle that favoured the Winged Hussars and Pancerni of the Poles.

awesum4 · Post by **awesum4** » Sun Nov 02, 2025 6:28 am

We are waiting for the results of the battle between Dilly and SMJohnso77 to complete round 3

Doyley50 · Post by **Doyley50** » Sun Nov 02, 2025 9:38 am

The Catholic army won a victory over the Danes, 49%-60%, aided greatly by their behemoth infantry tercios.

awesum4 · Post by **awesum4** » Sun Nov 02, 2025 11:55 pm

So after 3 rounds it is still a draw with each side having 6 wins and 6 loses

Round 4 will be set up in the next day or so
