The second assault on the Frankenthal demi-lune begins our lines are a little closer and more heavy guns have been brought up to support the attack. The first turn has mostly inconclusive firing though I do disorder a heavy gun on the wall
Turn two troops advance and cannon roar.
Turn three my Veteran German Tercio is in trouble.
Forward for Spain! Cordoba leads his Swordsmen forward...
but cannot break in.
More men pile in.... but the results are the same.
Things are looking Grim at the end of turn 3
The desperate struggle continues.
The Spanish musketeers are destroyed by sortie from the fortress that takes them in the rear.
English Demi Lancers are stopped by German pikes but our Germans are unwilling to come to order.
I try to pull my men out... but another fight ensues and we win to everyone's surprise, but the fight continues.
At the end of turn 4 my attack is completely stalled...
My German Tercio is destroyed my army moral is wavering.
For Spain... but my dice which have been bad all night... prove terrible again... Cordoba goes down, and Tercio is demoralized. then enemy devastated my men and my army breaks. The Second Assault has failed and the siege continues.
We are using Arofan's rules While the Devil Rules with the computer assisted Siege mini campaign.
