On turn 4 the Pope excommunicates Toulouse - France, busy in a war with England intends to take their lands - Aragon, with only 2 territories intends to beat France to it.........
We bring ladders and rams and head for the walls, we're outnumbered pretty much 2-1 but a lot of the enemy are crossbowmen - if i can get the cavalry into them we should score big morale hits
The garrison stays behind the walls, the actual Toulouse army defending the place arrive by sea!
and they head for the castle gates - the cavalry chase them all the way in and they leave the doors open - which i thought would be great news but apparently despite them been 84% damaged and open i'm not allowed across the threshold until theyre completely destroyed - i send some men back for the ram they dropped
The main aragon force hits the walls
After a couple of minutes its carnage - the spearmen hold the line against cavalry charges, and the melee infantry like Roman velites throw spears into the advancing swordsmen
The enemy are pushed to the top of the entrance ramp just as the gates are destroyed - the cavalry and King charge in and mop up the left overs - the castle falls - Montpellier belongs to aragorn
