The year is 1554,

time to choose armies from that year and your country/region.

Please either post here or PM me. Anyone who has not replied by this Sunday 5th November (Guy Fawkes day) will use the generic army I assign him.

Once we have the result of the round 2 game between Snugglebunnies and KiwiWarlord I will issue the draw for round 3.

Ottoman Turkish 1494 - 1559. Third verse, same as the first.

Tis the Scottish Border Reivers 1540-1603 cattle rustling again...

Happy enough to go for Teutonic again, not that I can see there is any choice.

English 1543-1557 for me please.

I believe my only option in Extra Nations is Spanish-Imperial 1543-1559

However, in Age of Machiavelli I see Austrian 1543-1558

Are both options, or do I need to pick the Extra Nations choice?

Polish 1525-1558 for me.

Bring on the Death Stars.

Spanish Imperial 1543 -1559 please.

I will stick with the Russians, thanks.

KiwiWarlord using: Xtra Nations V3 Georgian 1494-1619

I take Swedish 1523-1559 from Extra Nations (first choice)
or Danish 1543-1559 from Age of Machavelli (second choice if needed)

The draw for round 3 is;

Gribol using Swedish 1523 takes on Snugglebunnies using Spanish-Imperial 1543

TyroneC using Teutonic 1543 takes on KiwiWarlord using Georgian 1494

LinkinBrick using Polish 1525 takes on Lascar using Russian 1550

My Polish have soundly beaten Lascar's Russians.

While most of our infantry units mostly stared at each other from opposing hillsides, the Polish cavalry charged up a wide, flat, and open hill on their infantry's right flank, which the Russian cavalry was holding. Despite charging up a slope, however, the Russian's lack of lancers allowed the Polish lancer banners to win a decisive victory; which is not to say that the almighty fortune of battle did not favor them as well.

GG to Lascar, welcome to the empire of Snuggles.

The English have put to flight the Spanish army. Athough intimidated at first by the might of the Spanish behemoths the English managed to prevail after a hard fought battle just in time to get back to the pub for last orders.
Result 45-67. GG thanks smijohnson.

Teutonics win 41-13.
It felt a lot closer than that, my skirmishers just managed to hold off the swarm of horse archers long enough for the pikes and Gendarmes to get stuck in.
The Teutonic list will be sadly missed, those cheap keils are a tonic !
Thanks for the game.

A mighty Army be the Teutons !
The Georgians were out classed, out fought, out manoeuvred, out numbered and outgeneralled !
