• When it comes to main armies, it's fairly straightforward in that the same army list is used when defending as when attacking.

• However, determining and selecting allies could be more flexible (other than that allies must be used, if any are available):
  • If a player in the beginning of the round controls any provinces in a region or regions other than the one of his main army (see above), he must choose as allies from among such regions in his battles that round.
  • However, under any of the circumstances below, he may (if he wishes) instead choose allies as follows:
    • If defending in a defender province located in the Central region, the Guelf army can be used as allies.
    • If defending in a defender province located in the Eastern region, the Byzantine army can be used as allies.
  • The player may freely choose different allies for different battles even if in the same round.

A very narrow win and a very unlikely comeback. Many thanks for the game, Dave.

[AKvGoeben]

AKvGoeben attacks kronenblatt, using the Eastern army with Southern Allies. Attacker province Spoleto, Defender province Benevento.

Attacker wins 62-49. An extremely closely fought affair, with the advance of the Eastern knights on the right being shot down by the defending crossbows, followed by the gradual overwhelming of the dismounted knights to their left.

On the other wing, the advance of the Eastern knights supported supported by skirmishers and raw spearmen were eventually able to defeat their counterparts and arrive to assist what remained of the centre. The survival of the Eastern standard wagon may have been decisive in the morale of the army holding together.

GG and well fought to Kronenblatt!
