Surviving Forces From The Second Battle For Thorndale H161)

 As mentioned in the previous post, the Siege of Thorndale was lifted. The relief force bore the brunt of casualties on the Beerstein side although the castle did lose two more structure points from cannon balls.

The two units of mounted knights were all killed.

The retreating force saved a quarter of its casualties whilst the Beersteiners got half back as they were in possession of the field.

The Fritz force is still formidable due to its missile troops but it is unlikely, on its own, to capture the castle if it returns.

I mislaid my camera so here is an Internet meme which might suit the occasion.
