Well, not this bit of the Middle Ages. You seem quite fond of, and quite expert in, the Early Middle Ages  And, full disclosure, I know very little about the career of Matthias Corvinus. His is a rare army where we have details of its tactics as well as its troop types, though, which is interesting.

Definitely Jon

A challenge, eh Jon?  As you know, I have a large WotR force of my own and like the period but I suspect others may find battles of this period a bit uncomplicated and, dare I say, not very gripping tactically so don't comment?  Personally, I liked the scenario because it was a plausible WotR tactical situation - advance guard siezes key position and waits for rest of army to come up. I look forward to further developments in your WotR set up - enclosures, fieldworks, artillery, plomps of spears lurking in ambush. Keep going Jon.

As Simon mentioned a while back, I wonder why I bother to post here...

You jest, surely  Commander of the famous Black Army, fought the Ottomans?  An army with great wargame variety - good infantry, artillery, heavy and light cavalry.
