Peter's Swiss v. Mark's Milaese
The Milanese on the far side are in full view. Most of the Swiss army is out of sight behind ridges on the near side.
The Swiss have advanced over the crest into sight revealing that have concentrated their force on their left.
The Milanese have retreated their centre to buy time for their left to swing onto the Swiss flank. But some their Militia infantry have failed their command test & not retreated.
On the left the Milanese cavalry have fallen back from the Swiss pikes & the Militia are throwing good dice & hanging on.
On the left the Milanese elite knights have broken the end pike block. Their lesser cavalry have pinend the ne4xt pike block. The Milita are giving ground but still hanging on. In the centre & on the right both sides have redeployed to face each other.
On the left, the end pike block has formed hedgehog facing cavalry on two sides. The Milita has finally broken, but it has severely weakened their opponents . On the right, the Milianese cavalry has ridden down one musketeer unit. The other musketeer unit has somehow held for now, but is doomed. In the centre the Swiss have been weakened by Milanese artillery & are about to be attacked by fresh units. The Swiss commander concedes the battle & orders a retreat.
The Swiss pike blocks did not do well. An enquiry is being held into the pike factors, to check whether they need adjusting, or if it was just a case of crap dice.
