Bogavanian heavy infantry versus Eagle Knights
The battle started well for my Aztecs. Both commanders were cautious, but my commander passed his Boldness roll so initiated an advance. Mat's Bogavanian general took three turns before he passed his boldness roll and so was limited in his army actions.
My two stegadons charged the archer unit which the genie was attached to. Terrified, they retreated but soon rallied. The genie was then able to cast spells but he failed to ever assume gigantic dimensions. The stegadons tied up many Fezians. On of them lost its entire howdah crew but the beast refused to abandon its masters' bodies. Eventually both beasts were killed.
On my right flank the Aztecs advanced and, despite some counter attacks by cavalry, forced back the Fezians.
Meanwhile, on my left the Bogavanian heavy infantry attacked and forced back my Aztecs. The unit of Eagle Knights and my commanding general were pushed from the field.
One of my wizards cast a spell which sent a large ball of power through three Fezian units, causing great damage. However, it was also a misfire which pulled the wizard and half the Jaguar Knights into a vortex.
Mat and I had both lost half our armies so did a count of casualties; Mat had lost slightly more men so did a general's leadership test; he passed.
Towards the end of the battle Mat had his newly arrived Bogavanian and Fezian artillery in line of sight and the Fezians scored a few hits on my archers.
At this point the Aztecs began moving South to make their exit. Mat lacked the cavalry to chase them as most of his cavalry had been destroyed. His plate cavalry were recovering from their fight with the stegadon.
The Aztecs have withdrawn to the capital. Will the campaign last long enough for the invaders to attack the capital? it is possible that the campaign ends at the end of next map move.
OVERVIEW
Both 'Third countries' are now on the back foot. So far Beerstein has been winning against Necrolia and now Fezia and Bogavania are winning against Aztecia.
