DBA Teutonics vs Post Mongol Russians

We've been busy & created some new terrain boards. This one is the Snow covered board, so to 'celebrate' we had a game. What better armies for a 'Winter Battle' than the horrible Teutonics versus the Post Mongol Russians. General Amy played the Teutons & yours truly the Russians.

1x3Kn(Gen), 3x3Kn, 1x3Cv, 2x2Lh, 2x4Cb, 1x4Sp, (1x3Ax + 1x2Ps) or 2x7Hd

--------------------------------------------------------

The Battlefield & direction of attacks.

--------------------------------------------------------

boo.. hiss... boo.. The nasty Teutonic Knights!

--------------------------------------------------------

View from the Russian lines.

--------------------------------------------------------
Both of us had the same idea with the Light horse, this flank would be a stalemate.

--------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------

It was to be a Knight versus Cavalry scrap.....

--------------------------------------------------------

Ooooo... General Nevsky likes the look of those Hordes!

Would it be two easy Kills?

--------------------------------------------------------

Wow... Lots of Horsemen.

--------------------------------------------------------
Thud.. The lines clash into each other.

--------------------------------------------------------

Positions at this point. I still thought that concentrating on the Teutonic Horde elements was key to victory. Amy didn't care as long as her Knights ran over everything.

--------------------------------------------------------

Oh dear.. Here we go, one of the Russian Cavalry is beaten & falls into the snow!

--------------------------------------------------------

I redouble my efforts & bring in extra Russian Cavalry.

--------------------------------------------------------

However it leaves the right battlegroup rather short on men...

I press the attack into the Hordes!

--------------------------------------------------------
Teutonic Crossbow Bolts force the Russian Psiloi to Flee.

--------------------------------------------------------

Another Russian Cavalry element is destroyed!

--------------------------------------------------------

At last some success, one of the Hordes is destroyed.

--------------------------------------------------------

Amy presses her attack with the Teutonic Knights.

--------------------------------------------------------

Teutonic Crossbows support the counter attack into the Russian Cavalry.

--------------------------------------------------------
Amy's Teutons force back the Russian Cavalry.

--------------------------------------------------------

Oh Doom & Gloom, down goes another Russian Cavalry element.

--------------------------------------------------------

Going into the final stage of the battle, it's not looking good for the Russians.

The Russian General is looking very lonely!

--------------------------------------------------------

Spectacular view across the Battlefield.

--------------------------------------------------------

Amy piles in everyone!! The Russian General is cut off & slaughtered.

--------------------------------------------------------

Well, well, there we go, another crushing defeat. I placed to much emphasis on the Russian Cavalry & they paid the price. I didn't manage to bring up the Russian Spear & Bows, two elements wasted. I was impressed with the Teutonic Hordes, I liked the fact that they 'stood fast' when other units would of recoiled. Amy doesn't care about the facts, she's Victorious & lets me know!!!
