This years Lance & Longbow game was Grandson 1476, a Swiss/Burgundian bash, it's been done before, but Bob wanted to try a few more tweak to the Poleaxed rules to better reflect the participants fighting styles. This time round I was Burgundian, and the trundling mass of Swiss is quite intimidating, especially as it crashes into your rather thin line. Gradually, despite the lost of one contingent the battle swung in favour of the Burgundian and by the end we had a minor victory.

The burgundian guns very pretty, but not very effective, the pavasis are cardboard
Crunch!! The swiss get stuck in, while the Burgundian cavalry work around their flank
