My Teutonic Knights are feeling pretty good at deployment. The good feelings end almost Immediately after the Abbasids make their first move. He’s going to pin me down and….

My only chance is to break his shield wall. Not going to happen.

After Action Report• Well, this didn’t go so well. I lost 25-0.• Matt was an excellent opponent. I appreciate the help he gave in explaining the rules. • Moving second really hurt. The Abbasids had me pinned down and my knights were forced

into an unfavorable fight against supported spearmen. • I’m also thinking I didn’t need my heavy foot spearmen or my medium foot crossbow. I

would have been better off with more light horse.
