Headline from Ivar Lykke-Buket of the Danish Daily in Volby
WAR ENDS against local lord and his Pitchfork monopoly amid a flurry of Seaside sized Puns
Doyley's liege-lord and his aristocratic cronies failed to turn back the
tide of peasants furiously
waving their sub-standard pitchforks in a
sea of anger. GDod continues to
surf the
swell of good fortune, avoiding
the ebb and flow of violence that has been dominant in the region over the previous months.
Alan's strategy of avoiding linear combat and preferring to gallop all over the field to isolate individual units almost paid dividends. One more turn would have seen the peasants flee in all directions but losses had accumulated in the imperialist ranks to such an extent that morale could not be maintained. The exception in the imperialist ranks were the blocks of mercenary pike. Not only did these Landsknecht mercenaries maintain their ground they almost threatened to derail the peasant army's ambitions by routing and fragging all who dared to charge them in front flank and rear. At the same time, with gendarmes and their supporting soldiers armed with arquebuses fleeing all over the field, they could have retired in good order. Nevertheless, with their pay masters gone and the imperial baggage train overrun, I fear they would have had little reason to continue in Doyley's service.
So, ends the peasant rebellion in Volby. Now, our Danish peasants can enjoy knight clubbing as well dressed as our dashing Hungarian cousins!
The game was always in doubt Alan. Your strategy was sound. Unfortunately, I had deployed in strength on both wings in anticipation of a Cannaen victory and the shear number of units were always against you.
