RECONQUISTA: FOG Medieval Tourney

Yes, I was saved by the infantry being so solid. The skirmishers softened your knights up too though and distracted them away from the fight.
Nice battle @Rico , thanks.
Are the knights of León an unstoppable force? Will they steamroll the berber rabble on their glorious ride into Granada, jewel of Al Andalús?
Boabdil, last Nasrid ruler of Granada, rode into exile in the Alpujarra. He turned around for one final, distant look at the city– sighed, and burst into tears. His mother, betraying little sympathy for her vanquished son, is said to have told him: “You do well, my son, to cry like a woman for what you couldn’t defend like a man.”

Yes, the cavalry fight sucked my knights off to my far left, opening a gap between them and the infantry and I was unable to get back to support as they were tangled up.
The cavalry engagements are always messy and unpredictable.
 
Looks like the Moors did pretty well across the board this turn... luckily my Leonese have God on their side :D
 
Ready to kick off TURN 3, where the Muslim forces start counter-attacking.

LEON as the track having advanced furthest will have to fight off a Muslim attack on SALAMANCA.
If LEON loses, it will have to re-fight the battle to capture SALAMANCA -- if LEON wins, they can attack BAJADOZ next turn.

PORTUGAL has another go at capturing PORTO, while CASTILLE and ARAGON still struggle to get out of the starting blocks in BURGOS and BARCELONA respectively.

After a gruelling (yet fun) battle versus @Nelson1812 , my armies of Portugal were victorious and captured PORTO with a 64 - 47% victory.... virtually all that was left was my mounted knights at the end, but they did the job... just.

BATTLE 4: BARCELONA - @Wellsonian VS @Rico
 
The fight for Burgos is getting down to the nitty gritty after several turns of skirmishing and minor clashes. This might come down to a contest between mounted knights.
 
The third battle for BURGOS concludes with another Muslim Victory -- the advance of the forces of CASTILLE is still stuck at the first hurdle.
