Noteworthy battles

[Xan Krieger]

One rule: It must have occurred in a campaign.

My smallest battle ever happened at Tunis. I went there with a crusading army of around 700 men. I got excommunicated and was left with 31 (my faction heir and bodyguard). The sicilians has (by the time they tried to break the siege) 30 dismounted norman knights. The actual battle lasted all of about 2 seconds from the time the charge hit to the time they were in full retreat. I killed 26 of them outright and the remaining 4 were captured.

My most insane clear victory happened not long after. A crusading army led by the HRE appeared and they were two turns away. I recruited a small army consisting of 2 mailed knights, 1 knights hospitallar, 1 armored swordsmen, 1 yeoman archers, and 1 longbowmen. This totaled 325 men. The HRE had 1128 men, mostly mercenaries, crusader knights, crusader sergeants, and the HRE faction leader. I felt I was going to be absolutely smashed. I only won because cavalry can't go on walls. The time ran out and I was awarded a clear victory.

I had a duel once with one of my family members. He was trying to move to another city when an enemy family member attack him. It was a 31 on 31 battle and I won it because i was the one who charged and I was also able to kill that member haha

Well, Now i feel sorry for uninstalling mtw2, but in one of my posts you have a screenshot that proves that I once (and at leat 4 more times), with Prince Ioannis of Byzantium, beat a hungarian army that had like 2300 soldiers, while I had 278. A chain routing is truly the best thing you can do. had 1300 prisoners.

someone that playd BC(not me) posted a screen in which 16 byzantine cavalrymen lost in a battle against the Turks but managed to kill 2000 of 4000 Turks! only 16 soldiers!

I had some pretty large battles with Egypt as England in SS4.1 a while back. I killed or captured around 4000 men with the loss of maybe 100.... if even that. Thats what happens when unarmored desert units meet Mr. Longbow.

Here's My story

I played Custom Battle on Hard difficulty and i played as Venice.

*Venice,901 Men,Mostly muskeeters,some heavy infantry and artillery.
My enemies were :
*Milan,836 Men, Mostly cavalry and Artillery
*France,601 Men, Mostly muskeeters and Artillary
*HRE,751 men, Mostly reiters heavy infantry,and Artillery
*The Turks,601 Men, Mostly Jannisars And Artillery

All armies were Ofc upgraded to the full

In the begining of the battle i thougt this was going to be one of these "last stands".
I thought wrong


I placed myself in the western part of the battlefield and started to bombard my enemy,


Then i moved 3 units:2 Heavy venician infantry units and one pikeman unit against the HRE Army to keep them out of the battle for a while.

meanwhile I moved my cavalry to stop the Turkish army.

Both of theese Maneuvers worked.


Then ordered the right flank to place themselves in a defensive position and i ordered the center to Attack the french army.

The french army responded with sending in some muskeeters ,i eliminated them fast with some cassualties and decided to retreat to avoid being flanked.

So now i had 3/4 of my army in a defensive position and i constantly bombarded my enemy.

Now the turkish army ,that had suffered heavy cassualties from my Stradiots and artillery
Attacked my center.
After a heavy gunfight they retreated with their general dead
Now The french army together with the milanise attacked my right flank,i responded with sending some reserves from my left flank to strenghten the defences.

Meanwhile the rest of the HRE army ,after just having killed my Heavy infantry, attacks my Center,now i was in a very bad situation.

Immidatly i sended My Stradiots (2units) against the HRE's rear.
i swiftly moved my stradiots right into the german lines.:hmmm:
The German Muskeeters suffered heavy cassualties.

Now i moved my entire left flank against the HRE's army, Making a
pincher move

The german general got killed by my stradiots and the german army was now in chaotic retreat

The Right flank was now in need of reinforcements ,So i moved my center against the french army(making another pincher move),supported by my artillery, the attack was successful.
The french army Retreated to a hill with heavy cassualties.

I now moved my general to Take the turkish,german and French artilery positions, with heavy cassualties i succeded with this and the enemy artillery was not a threat to me anymore ...

The milanise army after giving me heavy cassualties retreated to the french hill .

Now is only 60% of my army still alive
And the allied army has about 50% left

Now i retreated to a better position on a small hill waiting for the enemy attack.
i waited and waited........some minuts later my patience paid off

The allied army attacked
My artillery (with not so much ammo left) started to bombard the french/Milan lines.


My lines were nicely lined up and waited for the allied attack

The first volleys were fired ,the final phase of the battle had begun

The fighting was terrible, like two tired boxers fighting in the last round of a match......

Then my last and very tired Stradiots were ordered into battle
They routed some muskeeter units ,including the french general's unit.
Now the allied army retreated........My troops were too tired to follow them,so my artillery and general did the job.
Supported by my artillery the general routed the remaining Milanise gunpositions and killed off some remaining turks
Hundreds of Dead bodies covered the fields.......The sound of muskets and Canons was gone........The Battle had ended.....Suddently you can hear the venician Muskeeteers shout-Victory!
