    I bet that you will be the HRE


    Btw you should take the battle to video with some sort of recording program.
    It would be nice to see the Burgundian knights in a fight

    The deployment ...
    HRE - since in theory the HRE was the attacker they build up a strategy good to dislodge an burgundian pike defence ... 3 groups of peasant was deployed in front to absorb maybe some longbowmen arrows while the two groups of crossbowmen were behind , having enough light between the peasants to shoot and inflict big damages to pikemen units ... the 2 crossbowmen militia were backup by the 2 units of town militia for close suppot ...just behind were the general with this unit of armoured sergeants and the heavy axemen ...that 2 units ready to enter the melee and impose they superior hand to hand skills over the pikemen , hopefully already weakened by crossbow fire and peasants ... the 2 units of imperial knights were on the far left ( since the right have some woods ) hoping togheter to draw the superior burgundian knights in a melee long enought to allow the infantry to win the battle in the centre ...

    The burgundian general's battleplan was simplier , since he had less variety of troops ... he made a long line of pikemen with the left anchored to the woods and the two units of good town militia on the right ..the longbowmen in front looking for some precious units to hit ...while the 2 units of knights behind , unrevealing their use in the battle ..

    The two armies are getting closer ...the longbowmen get very close maybe for attracting an infantry charge and make it crash against the spears , they prefer btw retreating while the pikemen advance ..in a little wood in the centre the two burgundian town militia are charginf 2 peasants units ... meanwhile the HRE crossbowmen stop to shoot .. both sides have some problems , the HRE player is cought off balance with too much space between his units , the burgundian player have to advance under a certain fire from crossbowmen and with his very slow pikemen , also he fear the two units of Imperial knight on his right

    The Burgundian player choose to divide his cavalry , a unit charge the hre peasants with the intentiot to rout that part of the imperial army while the other went back to stop the manouvre of the imperial knights on his right ... the hre peasants are in a horrible situation ..can they hold until the main body of german heavy troops arrive ?

    the peasants are tryng to escape , but they rout in the process ,,, that is not after all a bad thing but they will survive to reach the HRE rear lines that we see in the background ?? and the burgundian will catch them or they will be involved in a melle against superior german infantry ??

    one of the two units of imperial knights ( the worse one ) decide to charge the burgundian town militia , to stop the enemy advance there ... in the background we see the burgundian knights chasing the fleeing peasants and some darts from hre crossbowmen ...the other unit of imperial knights continue to engage the other unit of burgundian knights

    the burgundian knights chasing the peasants stumble in the heavy axemen causing alot of damage and putting this precious unit of melee fighters on their knees ...but is also a precious chance for the HRE player ...the armoured sergeants can be diverted to destroy the unit of knights , will they be able to hook them ?? its a wise move to leave the front units alone wasting time to catch the knights ?? the prey is too rich and the decide to charge the knights

    the two imperial knights unit in battle ... one have charged the town militia units , the knight unit ( 1>experience no upgr ) have caused alot of damage but is having problem to rout the militia ( 3>experience BS ) due maybe to a not perfect charge . Behind we see the best imperial knights unit ( 3> BS )against the burgundian knight unit ( with general ,3> BS and Weapon upgrade)
