Ligurian French Ordonnance in Milan

Game 1 The Wild Bunch vs Barbarossa on Bk 4

4

I am invader and I can execute a night attack.
The ally Swiss was unreliable in the centre so I decided to move the wings. We both could move because my opponent has the scouting stratagem. We fought frontally until my army broke. Neverless I did a lot of damage and lost just 10/15.

Game 2 The wild bunch vs Il giglio e il Leone Bk 4
Medieval Irish placed many wd and difficult FE and cluttered the table. He too had a scot phalanx with pikes deployed 5 deep! I made some manoeuvre but my army had not terrain troop. I forgt completely to dismount my Kn(s) and Cv(s) in front of enemy in difficult, this also happened in the other game.
After some manoeuvre I decided to attack frontally Pk(s) vs Pk(I) and Kn(s) vs Bd(o) after first good moment with dice things were wrong. The fith enemy pike rank proved very important and helped a lot in the attritional combat In the end I lost 25/0.
Forget the Swiss was unreable again.

Game 3 vs Zeneixi.

I don't want speak about this match, because is the conclusion of my bad performance with this army. I know very well the enemy army list because my opponent was my friend, is like my brother, is Genoese and play a lot of match with him so no excuse.
I had good pip also with Swiss, I manouvered well on the enemy right flank with Swiss and Bw. At a certain point I saw an opportunity in the other flank and with the lower pip command decided to manoeuvre and engage the enemy there too.
This was fatally wrong, I had no more pip and the good opportunities were lost in the meantime on the flank due enemy countermanouvering. I exposed my corps to heavy Art fire and was not able to disengage, losing almost 1 element each bound. I lst 2-23.

Game 4 vs British bulldog

It is a pleasure for me play against a English player, rare opportunity for me.
I had again advantage deploying second my army, and rolled high pips at start. I manouvered and again overstretched. This was a mistake thatsimilar to the one I made in the previous game that conduced me to another 23/2 lost.
Useless say that have 3 consequently 1/6 combat roll in the decisive moment.
It is humiliating to describe this battle.

I did not play very well in this tournament but I can say only it was a pleasure to play with many different people in the most important tournament in Italy, for me that have only one year tournament possibility.
I gained a lesson from DBMM, is a game that need not improvisation, but need constant game matchs using the same army list. I think is not the strenght of the army important as the deep knowledge of the army used. All army are steady.
When I arrived at home late in the night tired, disconsolate and demoralised, neverless I opened again the book for reading. This is the best ruleset of all time.
I will give again glory to my opponent in the future.
