@ about 06:15 you make some remarks about these players using their Pike units effectively, in a manner consistent with those you explain in your tutorial. I noticed, with approval, that the redeploying Pikemen 'were moving freely' and suddenly realised that I don't think you have made any mention yet of how to advance/maneuver/redeploy Pikes. All Spear-Wall units will move @ only 50% while in Spear-Wall formation: when you need to quickly move Pikemen, toggle-off Spear-Wall; REMEMBER to return the units to Spear-Wall formation before they have to fight. It looks to me, ~10:00-12:00, that Arm Wafflez completely abandoned his Sicilian Pikes in Guard mode to concentrate on micro-managing his Cavalry vs. Spartan's Venetians; I'm baffled that Bizmark didn't disengage his troops, send them behind those inert Pikes, and wipe them out sooner. Bizmark must have been busy micro-managing elsewhere (Sicilian General?). Honestly, I'm amazed you folks can keep-up as well as you do with all the micro-management. Brancaleone did not give up, even though, at the end, the French remnants presented a truly-uncrackable nut ...
Those French pikes were brutal x D fun battle to watch!
damn pikes :)
Another great war!
