Parable of the Holy Turnip - battle report

A short pictorial battle report of last nights action.

From the Chronicles of Kermit the Hermit:

"Whilst the pilgrims and soldiers in Blakadah did suffer the attention of the Saracen archers......

......the two aforesaid Lords, arriving from the lines of Antioch, did push their men hard and came to the countryside around the Holy Turnip Fields before ever a Saracen had word of their coming. They skirmished with the heathen in running battles.......

......until the Lords, having sent many of the enemy scurrying back to their tents, arrayed their forces so as to come to handstrokes..........

.......It was now that the Saracen did emerge from his camp in force, wishing to overthrow the Christians in Blakadah...........
......sending wild Ghazis in furious charges against their hasty defences.......
To be continued next week.

There is no prescribed base size. Units just have 4 stands with the same frontage.

My own, are 60mm frontage. Cavalry 90 deep with 3 to 5 figures, Infantry 60 deep with 3 (skirmish) to 8 (close) figures. My skirmish cavalry are 12 figs a unit. Close cavalry are 18 to a unit. Skirmish infantry 12, Loose order 20, Close order 30.
