It has taken me ages to return to these images and add some simple text. The old '2025 malaise' has struck again!
I really wanted to play a lot more ADLG in 2025. I didn't work that way for various reasons. Late in the year, I managed to fit in two games and this is one. I trotted out my MUCH beloved Condotta army. It didn't go too well.
Above shows an image well into the battle. My Condotta, always an elite force, is quiet small and surprisingly missile capable. My pike line was standing off from closing with the opposing German knights due to the missile from crossbow and longbow raining down on them.
On my left flank, I had a favourable match up against the Germans with my small light command, repeatedly shooting at the medium spear. They were quite caught on the hill as their command needed all CPs to fight in the centre.
On the right was a different story. I mucked this up a lot and my German opponent rolled out of his skin over several rounds. I dismounted my knights but had fewer troops to fight. I didn't use my lights effectively to 'gum up' this flank and delay this mismatch from occurring.
The prolonged right hand melee between dismounted knights.
I was still wearing the knights and other cavalry down.
Hang on ... these images and going back in time ... shit, I've left the flux capacitor on again!

The Condotta are very, very pretty.
But, they lost this game. This was a rare loss and really shows how out of practice I was with ADLG. I got my deployment a bit wrong and some of my on-field tactics. Oh, well ... this just shows I need more practice.
I really like ADLG and want much, much more in 2026.
