To conmemorate the 800 aniversary of the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa 1212, Edmund and I recreat the battle.
The battle was fought between Almoravid moors commanded by the MiramamolÃn and a league of three christian kings (Alfonso VIII from Castille, Sancho VIII from Navarra and Pedro II from Aragón). The battle was fought in Jaen and historically the Christian kings wins. An heroic act from King Sancho VIII breaking the stakes killing some slaves who where chained around the almoravid camp gives the victory. As King Sancho brakes the chains Navarra coat d'arms earned the chains that prevail to nowdays.
This game was a quite different, so Almoravid takes the victory...
Let's battle begins:

Thanks for uploading this, it's the first time I've seen a WM historical battle report!
-
You are welcome,
WM historical has slight but significative differences in the mechanics when compare with fantasy. It is awesome, as the fantasy.
In this subforum we have more historical battle report (Qadesh, Dreux, bronze age, renaissence, at least), so enjoy them!
-
Great report! Thanks JChaos.
WMMedieval has great rules to simulate medieval warfare in WM.
To arms! :)
-
Those reports are great for people like me who cant find an opponent for WMA. :( :)
Thanks 4 sharing!

Glad you like it guthwine, maybe yo could "corrupt" some of your fantasy opponents to play some historical battle (maybe the first one with fantasy figures)... and if they liked it... start building a historical army, little by little 8).
This battle could be palyed with GW araby units vs bretonians perfectly
-
Well I have tried (not hard enough though :) ) but it seems my WM group is immune to the joy of WMA. :D
But I have a persian and greek starter set from baccus to work on in the future.
