My ongoing campaign AAR volunteers

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

Bonjour, would any like to be my "advisors"
'Congregratio generallis regni'
for my AAR
All you need do is pretend to be a Hungarian Baron or Serbian lord or Despot and advise your lord on "historically" how to proceed.
Then as king I can call on my Barons for aid.
Can't unfortunately make you go independent. But that's the game limits.
Pm me if you ate interested
Thank you

P'S. If anyone does vote if you would be so kind as to share your thoughts on why.
You really do need to see situation I'm in to decide

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

I had to fight battle of Smederevo, there were too many Turks enroute. Consider that vote to be whether I should seize the fortress and hold it or give it to my Serb allies.
Opinions?

[Wallachian]

I voted fight the battle and then withdraw. Surely you can't beat all those incoming stacks.

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

No certainly not all grouped like that, I have to try and lure them out. I still need another battle there is another incoming army. If Corvinus gives up that secure bridge position its just a matter of time before all those forces move into Serbia or Bosnia, my spies report I am not up against mere cannon fodder, but a mixture of Ottoman elite and local troops-including artillery

[PavleSubich]

dont wory u just need 2 fort wagons pro army and u will kill all of them LOL!
Let them attack u if u have 2 fort wagons,2 merc arqebusiers and some hewy inf. to suport them
You are unbeatable,trust me the ottomans have no real elite units against later hungaryan ones.

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

@PavleSubich; Indeed you might be right. With my three armies and the Serbs I could probably beat most of those armies.
But at what cost, I will loose countless troops, no doubt the Serb Despot will get himself killed and then what happens if I can't withdraw before the Turks reinforce?
Not as clear cut.
Only give battle if you have to, otherwise out manoeuvre, take one at a time.
Perhaps if I make a dass for Kosovo, which has revolted from Turks twice already.
Lure them away, defeat piecemeal

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

the Year 1471 the Ottoman are sending increasing amounts of armies into Moldovia



Om another note the Vovode of Usora has come over to the Hungarian support to reclain not only his territory, but hatches a plot territory from his rivals and declared himself Duke of Hum and Primorje, Bosnian Grand Duke, Knyaz of Drina, and later Herzog of Saint Sava, Lord of Hum and Bosnian Grand Duke, Knyaz of Drina, whilst gaining Hungarian military support.




News arrives that the Turks are reequipping their already fearful Jannissaries


Nevertheless, with the Ottoman putting increasing pressure on the Danubian front, indreasing numbers of members of Black army mercenaries mutinied and gone pillaging, murder, and outraging the woman and even the church.

EDIT I posted this in the wrong thread, I meant the ongoing campaign thread...apologise

[jurcek1987]

Nice. Is Matthias Corvinus your king?

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

No hes not, I have some nobody. His popularity is poor hence the rebellions I'm beginning to get. Which is good, it was at this time the Black army mutinied and was dispanded circa 1470

There is talk of a coup to topple the present King and get the heir the the throne in a little accident
