Great After Action report. I think there would be more comments if you could post the pictures here. Photobucket is sometimes a little tricky to use.

By the way, great victory, as it had been written in a manual. Every part in your army did what it was supposed to be doing.

thx for your comment. Well, yes every body played his role but i must admit the lorrainers made more then expected.

I thought photo bucket was the prefered post methode. How else could i do?

Oh, for example, these are your first and second turn:

turn 1


my strategy: delay on wings fight in the center

turn 2

my pikes advances and his don't. he just send mounted crossbows to his right. On the lower right you can see my lorrain knights, that will come to protect my pikes right flank from: crossbows, knights and longbows!!! what a program


End of example
I made a right click on the picture and then I copied the URL. Then I clicked on image on the forum and then I pasted it here. If you write the comments just below it becomes nicer to follow it. Maybe it is just that I am a little lazy and I have some problems using picasaweb and photobucket.
Bonne chance de toutes façons et tres bien joué!

If you quote the above you can see the code that built it. Its the image code from photobucket direct.

This but of code too much.

?action=view&current=

Why/where it came from I do not know.

[Strategos69]

Yes, I was about to write the same thing. There is a part of the code that I don't know where it came either. The best way to copy an URL is right clicking on the picture and then select the option copy image URL. Another option is opening the properties (usually at the bottom when you right click) and then copy the whole code.

expanded piques to increase battle group size and to minimize shooting damages

[domblas]

burgondians LH charges and my gunners heroically decide to stay, hopping that the pikes will come in time

[domblas]

Lorrainers do great job at impact, expand, and destroy burgundians knight in one turn!!! then pursue and hit Xbowmens and other knights. what an energy

top view of the scene

burgundians charges and hit my pikes, one is flank charged by pressing forward rule. arg

Thanks for posting the pics, nice figures, once you have got the hang of posting reports it is much faster. I found that typing up the post in notepad or word was a good idea jus in case something went wrong with the forum or internet connection.

[Strategos69]

Nice pictures, and good posting.
