L'Art De La Guerre - Normans and Viking in action

Last two practice LADG games with Stephen (Cork Competition this weekend) after he finally chose an army to use this being Berber.

All those practice games and his last two with actual army, the 'difficulty' of choice when he has so many armies.

I used Normans against him in first game and this saw my Knights fail to perform yet again and my lowly spearmen hold well against superior Berber types, well up until they didnt 

Second game was a very close affair with my Vikings in action this time.

I tried a flank march with Breton Ally which worked quite well drawing off several Berber units and PIPs. 

The bulk of my Norse foot then moved obliquely to engage Berbers but unfortunately my General included with Huscarls was killed by a Berber General included with Knights and this saw my center collapse.

The Bretons rolled out of their skins (its a game of skill I tell ya !) and sweep all before them and this led to probably a first for us as I took enemy camp and he took mine. 

I reached auto defeat level first but it was a close bloody game this one 

Best of luck to Stephen and he has as much practice as we could manage so hopefully will do well again.

Vikings come at angle to Berbers, Bretons arrive later deep on right flank
