posts, there is an annual historical wargaming event in Hungary, called
Historikum, that I have participated in several times. This time on Historikum
together with other wargamers we managed to set up a large Pyrrhic vs Roman
table. The total ammount of figures on the table was 761 and from that 124 were
painted by me. According to the setup, the game was the refight of the battle
of Asculum 279 BC.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9SFhSd5Vd8Op9JaB2e_csN8lSaVg2N2fnbIf9Gjd82qJX15XXCy_EX_seOGJHmxmw0wQ31iFpBeW956C4XrsX3xBMwa32KdBNq_faNgMDvz71HaB7SbsCrkhrfK95IxqwUpOcQoMrRfTt2kpcpInfHYst8RgTPjKu_uZN3AtvRGU76dmx9FhvfAt72-w/s1200/Roman06.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1200" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9SFhSd5Vd8Op9JaB2e_csN8lSaVg2N2fnbIf9Gjd82qJX15XXCy_EX_seOGJHmxmw0wQ31iFpBeW956C4XrsX3xBMwa32KdBNq_faNgMDvz71HaB7SbsCrkhrfK95IxqwUpOcQoMrRfTt2kpcpInfHYst8RgTPjKu_uZN3AtvRGU76dmx9FhvfAt72-w/w320-h240/Roman06.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table><span><a name='more'></a></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">The battle of Asculum was one of the major engagements between Pyrrhus of Epirus and the Roman Republic. In
previous battles, the Epirotes made victories against the Romans, but had lost
important experienced soldiers. After loosing many more warriors at Asculum,
Pyrrhus stated "If I achieve such a victory again, I shall return to
Epirus without any soldier". The term pyrrhic victory derives from this
statement and it is used even nowadays. On the contrary the Romans suffered
more casualities, but thanks to their effective recruiting system and huge pool
of manpower, they could quickly replace their losses.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">The Pyrrhic Army arrived first on
the battlefield. Seven big sarissa phalanx blocks made up the center. Among
them were Macedonians, Ambraciots, Molossians, Chaonians, Thaesprotians,
Brutians and Tarantines. The phalangites were supported by light infantry from
the back. To the left from the sarissa phalanxes were Aetolian, Aernanian and
Atharnanian mercenary hoplites. Further to the left stood a whole division of
Samnites - who despite beeing natives of the Italian Penninsula - joined the
Epirote Army to fight against their most hated enemy: the Romans. The cavalry covered
both wings of the army. The left wing contained Ambraciot medium cavalry
accompanied by Tarentine and Lucanian light cavalry. The right wing had two
units of Thessalian and Samnite horsemen supported by Bruttian and Tarentine
riders. Pyrrhus commanded the reserve division himself. This division could deploy
only after the second turn with a successfull command test, and contained the
Royal Agema, 3 elephants and many Cretan archers. Actually Pyrrhus was on the
battlefield before the reserve division and organized the array of his army.
The "endless" lines of Epirote units made an astonishing view on the
table.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdPcSZi2QHwmKoggQFwXxBjoKWwgez12RBZUtQfgUAFEl5GjlMWYsFik0Xdbva_nP0-VJgCtE0mnehfOZq6eqeUgLH05SmaP0DwMweyUKO0_QpRoeivaXa1c59eAeoMudumOEojCw8wuWsdXBU3G47kD08WWowOfXctAILSsZswAPY6-0iv6ptDgqBpJM/s1704/375025906_1713875555796353_2835074847175199248_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1413" data-original-width="1704" height="331" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdPcSZi2QHwmKoggQFwXxBjoKWwgez12RBZUtQfgUAFEl5GjlMWYsFik0Xdbva_nP0-VJgCtE0mnehfOZq6eqeUgLH05SmaP0DwMweyUKO0_QpRoeivaXa1c59eAeoMudumOEojCw8wuWsdXBU3G47kD08WWowOfXctAILSsZswAPY6-0iv6ptDgqBpJM/w400-h331/375025906_1713875555796353_2835074847175199248_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXXAKbq3kuy17Rk3dShoMQw6BCwfbRZ2JjsPnbpGsvKrWq0Tl2eGQfYL8RM3KXSpi170wmd3KpxkFFpggJMIUAGbfpD2152AAZ7QpOzyvwJw29PpfC42r6xkrpeJug02DXY6EYC0gQzeteZP2OV_Jgd3lpwNSPXuNpeOOGwwStw0mlxAJlwq98QmmZ3eU/s2000/375214116_3534488360101340_80313940739400874_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="905" data-original-width="2000" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXXAKbq3kuy17Rk3dShoMQw6BCwfbRZ2JjsPnbpGsvKrWq0Tl2eGQfYL8RM3KXSpi170wmd3KpxkFFpggJMIUAGbfpD2152AAZ7QpOzyvwJw29PpfC42r6xkrpeJug02DXY6EYC0gQzeteZP2OV_Jgd3lpwNSPXuNpeOOGwwStw0mlxAJlwq98QmmZ3eU/w400-h181/375214116_3534488360101340_80313940739400874_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj2hcjH7ZaHD3fmV3RvzxJGBNdFeEmUouQ2B9ao4n-iHnRaHyi-ajio6h_O9-hDnhu5cOIGEINY5_Ii3bEy6tVEOpBE7lmfimqL419ihqzX9Tu9Sxg5-Xw0DYUTB57K8vID6yskhK9wS6yboHHi1ePPXfuyPn-THLIf9TLtGR3yylHNIwWoTDjdEs70PI/s2000/375484967_320178800668402_7630489094260229484_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="2000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj2hcjH7ZaHD3fmV3RvzxJGBNdFeEmUouQ2B9ao4n-iHnRaHyi-ajio6h_O9-hDnhu5cOIGEINY5_Ii3bEy6tVEOpBE7lmfimqL419ihqzX9Tu9Sxg5-Xw0DYUTB57K8vID6yskhK9wS6yboHHi1ePPXfuyPn-THLIf9TLtGR3yylHNIwWoTDjdEs70PI/w400-h300/375484967_320178800668402_7630489094260229484_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLBenR0thAeRrkZ0jC1zvYuAd_t4b0UOZUFtC1-GfPzfGI55gYRSKzENnx-qGqhvl8qrxfPAvWE7p2k3GmrI53BZes_aguDX50ZNd4CfKSlYi73iIYsHUudSzcFzLVh4VHW3DlSNBfuJ6juKS6UXs2wAbyGtHXgmwPoejD3PYFYcXDZbMYamL_3Xsc1gM/s4896/DSC08257.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3672" data-original-width="4896" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLBenR0thAeRrkZ0jC1zvYuAd_t4b0UOZUFtC1-GfPzfGI55gYRSKzENnx-qGqhvl8qrxfPAvWE7p2k3GmrI53BZes_aguDX50ZNd4CfKSlYi73iIYsHUudSzcFzLVh4VHW3DlSNBfuJ6juKS6UXs2wAbyGtHXgmwPoejD3PYFYcXDZbMYamL_3Xsc1gM/w400-h300/DSC08257.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Royal Agema</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjSu3BaDE_hC-bgEPSmoLFXWV496cqykde3g5gHknsd18TFQYCUtye2OlGmX_VVlTJoHoyR1649MNTIuw70cGLWGZY5Mkvlom3ZDdzsVxbXu1NfRkHXTOAIzMKF5g8M9c1HHGOf70l8laFZi1wrV6AvRWkfga84asLShpDX8ZKLZwQEPK5IRUvVnUVx7g/s808/IMG_20230909_104005.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="808" data-original-width="669" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjSu3BaDE_hC-bgEPSmoLFXWV496cqykde3g5gHknsd18TFQYCUtye2OlGmX_VVlTJoHoyR1649MNTIuw70cGLWGZY5Mkvlom3ZDdzsVxbXu1NfRkHXTOAIzMKF5g8M9c1HHGOf70l8laFZi1wrV6AvRWkfga84asLShpDX8ZKLZwQEPK5IRUvVnUVx7g/w331-h400/IMG_20230909_104005.jpg" width="331" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Samnite infantry division guarding the left flank of the phalanx</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">The Roman Army was a little bit
bigger than a standard consular army, because it contained an additional allied
legion. In total the Romans had 2 Roman legions, 3 allied legions and cavalry.
Not suprisingly they deployed in quincunx formation as usual. A divison
represented a legion in the game and a Roman divison had 2 units of hastati, 2
units of principes, one triarius unit and velites as skirmishers. 2 units of
equites and 2 units of allied light cavalry were on both wings. The Romans
never met Elephants in battle before Pyrrhus attacked them. They immediately
tried to find a solution to counter the new threat. Before the battle of
Asculum they made several armored wagon carriages equipped with long and sharp
instruments. The wagons were moved by oxen and the crew used long scythes and

<p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">After both sides arrayed on the
field, the battle begun with the slow advance of the Epirote phalanx, while
their right wing cavalry struggled to move forward. Things happened faster on
the Roman right wing. While the left side of his army waited for the enemy to
initiate, the consul urged forward his cavalry on the right wing. He planned to
destroy the Samnites firts and then attack the phalanx from the side. The Greek
cavalry wanted to prevent this shame to happen and made a counter charge.
However the Romans proved to be superior in this cavalry melee and quickly
destroyed the whole Epirote left wing.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqIr7HLejFrIhIbVUfqzY-yOq-jKBTYP7YXF29RuXpjruoEmruM9USO1uQ5qqJLIQe0Eh7ukwXdSx9d0WBnLZwCAWHBRGeOLLD3-6tj4MMib-iMVEk3HYc5UMA2ZQmklrwEqvWbae0mFayO7JU9LxhKltwcQZXLDLDd2mM6NnhT1fTsJYuCtdGC4Alv5o/s1942/375204454_674527221439627_6384031081625185022_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1183" data-original-width="1942" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqIr7HLejFrIhIbVUfqzY-yOq-jKBTYP7YXF29RuXpjruoEmruM9USO1uQ5qqJLIQe0Eh7ukwXdSx9d0WBnLZwCAWHBRGeOLLD3-6tj4MMib-iMVEk3HYc5UMA2ZQmklrwEqvWbae0mFayO7JU9LxhKltwcQZXLDLDd2mM6NnhT1fTsJYuCtdGC4Alv5o/w400-h244/375204454_674527221439627_6384031081625185022_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV6i-qwbhWf5Z_GDB5FO2O7w4Vd88JNvJTa9QtMyfpskMKRqEiKPS5XT-Wt0qjUY7CPBGgVEjD3IMukjeJLkRHzAOV0bsTan00GvwFu6GmfuRM5i4frhUFxPGwbDgSqcVbmf5kdpG_12ZBU3MuC2IPej93dgWLt6ZLL8FDUoqbjxKJxh3YmVVxlhqVmwA/s2000/375757170_1156391708652539_6149321574866800219_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1458" data-original-width="2000" height="291" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV6i-qwbhWf5Z_GDB5FO2O7w4Vd88JNvJTa9QtMyfpskMKRqEiKPS5XT-Wt0qjUY7CPBGgVEjD3IMukjeJLkRHzAOV0bsTan00GvwFu6GmfuRM5i4frhUFxPGwbDgSqcVbmf5kdpG_12ZBU3MuC2IPej93dgWLt6ZLL8FDUoqbjxKJxh3YmVVxlhqVmwA/w400-h291/375757170_1156391708652539_6149321574866800219_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The Romans hesitated to advance
further, because the reserve division of Pyrrhus was about to arrive on the
battlefield and they were sure that the experienced Greek general will send the

stopped their advance and arranged the ranks of the Equites after the
exhausting combat.</span></p>

Pyrrhus arrived to the field. The 3 elephants and the Agema reensured the left
wing of their army and then quickly moved forward to repel the equites in front
of them. The animals successfully destroyed the enemy, only the allied light
cavalry survived the combat. At the same time the Epirote cavalry on the right
managed to charge the equites of the left wing. Fierce combat broke out, but
the Romans were unlucky this time and their whole cavalry division was

slow due to failed command tests and struggled to reach the legions. The
legionaries waited patiently and scanned the Epirote lines with their eyes
searching for possible points to break through. One of the allied legions in
the center had slingers as skirmishers instead of javelinmen. These slingers moved

shots the unexperienced Tarentines failed a breaktest and fled the battlefield
leaving a huge gap in the phalanx. However the elite Macedonians quickly closed
the ranks and corrected the mistake made by their ineligeble Tarentine allies.</span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsBWBf_5xzAm3OnHH5XdImg7But8QnGenIfjKux-0Wymy3sNbO2am8omYdss6203M8THYA5NBGogv2xWtO6ZvIhqpNaUbSPhQ7RAX23-mNasKlC3RUeBYLoZKCCNCIvD0Hf07kiftW_0rnRo7YXo2fKLhxyHZJGDeC2wB9Sctkw7moB_Z-hVV8-zdRY6c/s2000/375234807_856660592512538_2102978231352170617_n.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="2000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsBWBf_5xzAm3OnHH5XdImg7But8QnGenIfjKux-0Wymy3sNbO2am8omYdss6203M8THYA5NBGogv2xWtO6ZvIhqpNaUbSPhQ7RAX23-mNasKlC3RUeBYLoZKCCNCIvD0Hf07kiftW_0rnRo7YXo2fKLhxyHZJGDeC2wB9Sctkw7moB_Z-hVV8-zdRY6c/w400-h300/375234807_856660592512538_2102978231352170617_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Roman slingers and velites harassing the phalanx</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTIqSTxPoA32RhKB6s817LpddaFKeZkPbMKEoGfB4jkmhn_jma1IWmkjQxBCqgxwa8fNyPQEQe6-h6Oflj4am-gSHguDXUmFR4oo5dF_TSOecmuQ-hZJo1Tpt6LBzzmu3n1192ZGF6o6c0pL2NUCnOD8af6YY2kbrBRSh4N3XXCEiDtQSoqRF36PKg01c/s2048/375488216_260145830314051_5481457817112572710_n.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1084" data-original-width="2048" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTIqSTxPoA32RhKB6s817LpddaFKeZkPbMKEoGfB4jkmhn_jma1IWmkjQxBCqgxwa8fNyPQEQe6-h6Oflj4am-gSHguDXUmFR4oo5dF_TSOecmuQ-hZJo1Tpt6LBzzmu3n1192ZGF6o6c0pL2NUCnOD8af6YY2kbrBRSh4N3XXCEiDtQSoqRF36PKg01c/w400-h211/375488216_260145830314051_5481457817112572710_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The gap in the phalanx due to the cowardness of the Tarantine levy</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span><p></p><p></p><p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">The Samnites were impatient to
hold the line with the slow phalanx. They felt too much hatred agains the
Romans and could not wait to charge the allied legion in front of them. Maybe
due to their intense feelings the charge was disorganised and only one unit
could reach the enemy, while the others were in supportive position. On the
contrary the well disciplined legionaries closed their maniples and received
the attack of the single Samnite unit. With this the Romans could reach a local
numerical advantage and easily beat their Italian foes. Seeing their friends'
fate, the other Samnite units failed their breaktests and broke. The remaining
units of the division started to flee.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoHqFggpcBetQFvLgIK0ZZjhX6mTHnSHcTtCs0sDQjHOjzz4dTKOhcpMS_G8rX3JPmiFeSpBgOh4YhMqH5LbB9hTuW69lDPkGf0eGvGVZ6EGLifgkF61WDyygODLBojohxViO9kPx7ex6c4eoM48FPFH2FlQ9pogg7wTIYQ6yMM5Dwf-wdVD1o232b7j0/s2000/375210878_291998803467209_964737003752286180_n.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="2000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoHqFggpcBetQFvLgIK0ZZjhX6mTHnSHcTtCs0sDQjHOjzz4dTKOhcpMS_G8rX3JPmiFeSpBgOh4YhMqH5LbB9hTuW69lDPkGf0eGvGVZ6EGLifgkF61WDyygODLBojohxViO9kPx7ex6c4eoM48FPFH2FlQ9pogg7wTIYQ6yMM5Dwf-wdVD1o232b7j0/w400-h300/375210878_291998803467209_964737003752286180_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The elite Samnite "Legio Lineata" charging the Romans</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdQ5jdqeuFzN7QbKSqsUBtlGVjy0nwJTASdnYUtJWGXsz65zDORoNK7Y0B_4dbUo-pba5yfbvvEHdbn3Dsxe1gSvw-RKAxYkovNKOUyftoQxXR9l7hXPb-ccWEizLkSP0o2QOj5kNs2DczsBcOp_kvAakvVgmGhIWQA-0277c4g33pY0VV7eaeffuuvfY/s2000/375484699_810246604220055_1224176749741247002_n.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="2000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdQ5jdqeuFzN7QbKSqsUBtlGVjy0nwJTASdnYUtJWGXsz65zDORoNK7Y0B_4dbUo-pba5yfbvvEHdbn3Dsxe1gSvw-RKAxYkovNKOUyftoQxXR9l7hXPb-ccWEizLkSP0o2QOj5kNs2DczsBcOp_kvAakvVgmGhIWQA-0277c4g33pY0VV7eaeffuuvfY/w400-h300/375484699_810246604220055_1224176749741247002_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Intense fight between the Italian natives</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVqrQglhkV7U3pViWaUZBOTQ8j-R3uUZ27d-KDrYUceCZYCYX8uedI-kJB-DFVhG8h0VPySWlFR2HKI7UcuTrqaEsLP1U-LSjVDlOpfIPChO0uGR4xpfWgE4eXkP12rbFGCpoPP0TGCIxgX9RW9wyFS70WK6rZcZ-9l3QEoeBdNd44QzUbEYNLJHm3xgc/s2000/375481160_696590338954501_1494633533182727960_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="2000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVqrQglhkV7U3pViWaUZBOTQ8j-R3uUZ27d-KDrYUceCZYCYX8uedI-kJB-DFVhG8h0VPySWlFR2HKI7UcuTrqaEsLP1U-LSjVDlOpfIPChO0uGR4xpfWgE4eXkP12rbFGCpoPP0TGCIxgX9RW9wyFS70WK6rZcZ-9l3QEoeBdNd44QzUbEYNLJHm3xgc/w400-h300/375481160_696590338954501_1494633533182727960_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span><p></p>

Agema charged a legion that advenced too close to them. Two maniples were
ordered to repel the heavy cavalry, but did not succeed and had to retreat.
After that as a second attempt they established a second defensive line and
could stop the Agema, but many legionaries died. In the same time the elephants
advanced towards the oxen carriages. The ballistae fired projectiles to the
elephants but had almost no effect. To save the situation, the remaining Roman
cavalry charged one of the elephants from the back and killed it. But the other
two elephants kept rushing towards the enemy almost unstoppable.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIH5n8FAHQAu1xKIqXPCXJ5tKDy7ZTfemCzuDru3JmwwgWnQmx42AtxC0FE1mtzm2krBk15Yh7E5rh9kEyBWgikjioF0cLxy-8aPx1gPokZo2IpAioJJR1ziUMzILeDfPjKoJpX9NwuikYVQ_tBvMHasP1uDoGxx8iVE7YTvDNiAK2METcqFZv6EYeyeY/s2000/375220872_1019841662530445_4641223062305451920_n.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="2000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIH5n8FAHQAu1xKIqXPCXJ5tKDy7ZTfemCzuDru3JmwwgWnQmx42AtxC0FE1mtzm2krBk15Yh7E5rh9kEyBWgikjioF0cLxy-8aPx1gPokZo2IpAioJJR1ziUMzILeDfPjKoJpX9NwuikYVQ_tBvMHasP1uDoGxx8iVE7YTvDNiAK2METcqFZv6EYeyeY/w400-h300/375220872_1019841662530445_4641223062305451920_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Agema charging the legionaries</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHThBymlKzN1OP3jJF7zA84CsQZc-MoyC9B4d75eigKZMXM000knAYLG9j_iCew3DOdh_4_vA3m_dzMQWksTcUMPRL2HIlAgbOdqSqPS7Ldla8IzntlOTsVNVTTqgPnLNnQ7oCh1R89J51uEaq8u7atpsrs1630ldXrBZp4DWyJZrBPNZPMqSKpWapowM/s1200/Roman10.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="1200" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHThBymlKzN1OP3jJF7zA84CsQZc-MoyC9B4d75eigKZMXM000knAYLG9j_iCew3DOdh_4_vA3m_dzMQWksTcUMPRL2HIlAgbOdqSqPS7Ldla8IzntlOTsVNVTTqgPnLNnQ7oCh1R89J51uEaq8u7atpsrs1630ldXrBZp4DWyJZrBPNZPMqSKpWapowM/w400-h238/Roman10.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmNVdEoCozJcA1F012kXLOHC6tDKh7dlMdAaNZRSEsaEW7sjk8G3BA4PhQS1FQCWfWgACmGwBduGkf2X5CTTRPg_TpWhOXy5P-uQyFH7-JXHkVlsk3r4H3zFbFlIXSn6uCt7I-Vr4labg0tyCKvWbU9O-4GBArCqhg7Lffg4cc5_s3YwDbE7-AazJ5zZI/s1190/IMG_20230909_155803.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="893" data-original-width="1190" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmNVdEoCozJcA1F012kXLOHC6tDKh7dlMdAaNZRSEsaEW7sjk8G3BA4PhQS1FQCWfWgACmGwBduGkf2X5CTTRPg_TpWhOXy5P-uQyFH7-JXHkVlsk3r4H3zFbFlIXSn6uCt7I-Vr4labg0tyCKvWbU9O-4GBArCqhg7Lffg4cc5_s3YwDbE7-AazJ5zZI/w400-h300/IMG_20230909_155803.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvWHqyfX4WgmDzgWf0YwAkqY_AFwxlZ8dt0g5HkpWWiiKQyApb_eBu_dNGq-Oxg9l4MlpSInT-yPkorl7upAayAj4LsHs6EGjxspuRHm00DCvFL70wu-gA42HrJSLuQauXUZ3FXoJEi4TsQpjEXBY-GHzyXtNnQ8Ck4uCFlh8I47iZP-bqdYHa6rvkZp4/s2000/375442801_1057330101879860_5869214519912345646_n.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="2000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvWHqyfX4WgmDzgWf0YwAkqY_AFwxlZ8dt0g5HkpWWiiKQyApb_eBu_dNGq-Oxg9l4MlpSInT-yPkorl7upAayAj4LsHs6EGjxspuRHm00DCvFL70wu-gA42HrJSLuQauXUZ3FXoJEi4TsQpjEXBY-GHzyXtNnQ8Ck4uCFlh8I47iZP-bqdYHa6rvkZp4/w400-h300/375442801_1057330101879860_5869214519912345646_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The ballista could not stop the charging elephant</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvIA4PIk-Ipyj4lhNK2sUoOgj66CLvcuWP2jfSvAgwrTdG3dRI9OsasJHGMg3c3eXl4cBRuIMcFsrYNfQm1kVkQIGtltNmun3hPr-j0g36kRsY9RjaIs9ycy9wDcWcsmcTKQzXaBijheCFsNIKoYBZWjZ1Cho35cp1hngwIsovSIY_8B1Udc7sYakrwwY/s1190/IMG_20230909_155757.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="893" data-original-width="1190" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvIA4PIk-Ipyj4lhNK2sUoOgj66CLvcuWP2jfSvAgwrTdG3dRI9OsasJHGMg3c3eXl4cBRuIMcFsrYNfQm1kVkQIGtltNmun3hPr-j0g36kRsY9RjaIs9ycy9wDcWcsmcTKQzXaBijheCFsNIKoYBZWjZ1Cho35cp1hngwIsovSIY_8B1Udc7sYakrwwY/w400-h300/IMG_20230909_155757.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>

was over and we had to finish the game. The Romans might had a little
advantage, bacause they dealt more losses on the enemy than vice versa. But
there was no victory for either sides for sure and the possible further
outcome could have not been predicted. In conclusion this game was an amazing

Therefore it was crucial to paint some units of cavalry. Now the first step is done to solve this problem: I painted three units of equites. More light cavalry are needed later on to represent the allied cavalry contingent.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmn852wLFg1GWF6OnWvlRWGFSLjom5xAEQXdFLGs9ln35zTejPNqeC20YgEQjhmsLD1TG_VitdEIhy2XPCpuPT7Wk_5CkpiNykzx8x1l39YBX_JCAQ44Y2DG2bF3gZtrI8qB8Sgw5zn0eKpBv6e-wao4jvFWhg2tIDJpD4jD7IedozhSSfe-Ugs16AQYQ/s3934/20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2741" data-original-width="3934" height="279" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmn852wLFg1GWF6OnWvlRWGFSLjom5xAEQXdFLGs9ln35zTejPNqeC20YgEQjhmsLD1TG_VitdEIhy2XPCpuPT7Wk_5CkpiNykzx8x1l39YBX_JCAQ44Y2DG2bF3gZtrI8qB8Sgw5zn0eKpBv6e-wao4jvFWhg2tIDJpD4jD7IedozhSSfe-Ugs16AQYQ/w400-h279/20.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span></span><span><a name='more'></a></span><p>During the times of the Republic the Romans had only a few horsemen in their legions. According to Polybius, a manipular legion of 4500 soldiers contained only 300 cavalrymen, called equites. This cavalry was purely Roman, the soldiers were from the wealthiest class of Roman citizens, often sons of important politicians and other statesmen. Further cavalry units were provided by their allies for the Roman Army, but those were probably less armed and trained than equites.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG2xUI-hq4Zl4myY7hf38afYvVwA51JWzDpCDLBw4_5Itri77xXRFMleRm9uPD_gwftXHrF5IvPA6wW-1jusNWCoLqC2Eb79gXwiHRpjfoYExpVi6fRqvvkfl-mv60En222nvkseTumaPCKkeAv7kLDi_x9myCNq6yMeWl1dt4dkfjbKWgfaeZE1xyztk/s4032/18.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG2xUI-hq4Zl4myY7hf38afYvVwA51JWzDpCDLBw4_5Itri77xXRFMleRm9uPD_gwftXHrF5IvPA6wW-1jusNWCoLqC2Eb79gXwiHRpjfoYExpVi6fRqvvkfl-mv60En222nvkseTumaPCKkeAv7kLDi_x9myCNq6yMeWl1dt4dkfjbKWgfaeZE1xyztk/s320/18.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizG5YqAwnR0bG8GCZjckGNX0o9zE-ata_1y2yF2sFSMJ9CXiEjnq1JWoOovc7EWwO3Mjr5ZYIyLvR2GWOR3bfHFjS6p7wxzHILxipnBSwbig8aIDLGocFRYWbr1XHrashyFbS9F6vvtOCicgDaBaVoR82yc03orV49X06-7aKOy5B5FXMqBaXlzJussl8/s3934/20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2741" data-original-width="3934" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizG5YqAwnR0bG8GCZjckGNX0o9zE-ata_1y2yF2sFSMJ9CXiEjnq1JWoOovc7EWwO3Mjr5ZYIyLvR2GWOR3bfHFjS6p7wxzHILxipnBSwbig8aIDLGocFRYWbr1XHrashyFbS9F6vvtOCicgDaBaVoR82yc03orV49X06-7aKOy5B5FXMqBaXlzJussl8/s320/20.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisABbkR4yBlNgpW0BJ7Hvmre2C-dUoM4g14i9efcl13g7z8mpaHzsv3jRQ6FwjYKknH4TTxuGiCcJkS8RlIyWgBTh2VafXIXMYlXXanDu2pB8CxsZJmuDMbVJvp5phqx5uf6cPpB8V7okjeZfEaOeGwh_Em2CwivH2cKJFTkrqolL97Ux4PQ_lC9DFE6U/s3934/21.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2891" data-original-width="3934" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisABbkR4yBlNgpW0BJ7Hvmre2C-dUoM4g14i9efcl13g7z8mpaHzsv3jRQ6FwjYKknH4TTxuGiCcJkS8RlIyWgBTh2VafXIXMYlXXanDu2pB8CxsZJmuDMbVJvp5phqx5uf6cPpB8V7okjeZfEaOeGwh_Em2CwivH2cKJFTkrqolL97Ux4PQ_lC9DFE6U/s320/21.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHPIastJCvw4kcPC67mvqbO3tKtzDEOfpnp2rImaoT2wtxjYKIiTiGgTRmWW8hdIFnfYUMulpPmwapmSMgJ9Q-_a5r1fL_n7V5gCjznIbrX0XlC36h1KkHjSy7nLriU9beEKY5AW-vjFNK7eiwykxjWObKJ4cOm186dmBrfOktReshObrn78mVICFfHQ8/s3569/23.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2495" data-original-width="3569" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHPIastJCvw4kcPC67mvqbO3tKtzDEOfpnp2rImaoT2wtxjYKIiTiGgTRmWW8hdIFnfYUMulpPmwapmSMgJ9Q-_a5r1fL_n7V5gCjznIbrX0XlC36h1KkHjSy7nLriU9beEKY5AW-vjFNK7eiwykxjWObKJ4cOm186dmBrfOktReshObrn78mVICFfHQ8/s320/23.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiH7GkY9iUBPa6lxIDlmjwp8Rmk_C98oktaWTRhT60UVfH2i8kAYyzatmidbqG9I9j2aSJQo0qQ3Ae39AGyERkmMdQlV-kqe_v1bdwKAKWAyg2Bi-t3KE9z8FIgLBybYcYuGzmN3TAo4pZFX-0ci60UgTdPjK0OlNLfpIMw-XfEop4oxuG9rJoblM8OsY/s3683/24.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2764" data-original-width="3683" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiH7GkY9iUBPa6lxIDlmjwp8Rmk_C98oktaWTRhT60UVfH2i8kAYyzatmidbqG9I9j2aSJQo0qQ3Ae39AGyERkmMdQlV-kqe_v1bdwKAKWAyg2Bi-t3KE9z8FIgLBybYcYuGzmN3TAo4pZFX-0ci60UgTdPjK0OlNLfpIMw-XfEop4oxuG9rJoblM8OsY/s320/24.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>The equites were medium cavalry according to the contemporary conditions. 30 horsemen made up a turma, which was the basic unit of Roman cavalry and each legion had 10 turmae.

The first charge of the light cavalry was a failure even when they attacked a disordered unit in the back. On the Greek right flank the battle became a bloodbath: both sides ceased to exist. The pikes were lucky to turn around to face the attack to their flank, they were unfortunately beaten back by just one maniple. Chaos ensued, units falling back and charging, flanking. The Tarentine cavalry crushed the last unit of triarii, which broke the second Roman division.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9_wYxcRMDTs_4u8BRXIMPqDCsT_g6MoMdOGQROtMPiICrqaBZzgMfSddzpfMddJBc_Sc_0thOXwgZl329gqgtoFehXFj_IwpigP_uFp49KQ7GruzdVrpvfXMeCrZ6f0_TYf6JPkFQKWIbfxNI5Bjk_VJvSB4J6v27F9P0_BblO7esIO1U0Wl34zqK/s2000/306016300_591166909411754_6808454384085575843_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="2000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9_wYxcRMDTs_4u8BRXIMPqDCsT_g6MoMdOGQROtMPiICrqaBZzgMfSddzpfMddJBc_Sc_0thOXwgZl329gqgtoFehXFj_IwpigP_uFp49KQ7GruzdVrpvfXMeCrZ6f0_TYf6JPkFQKWIbfxNI5Bjk_VJvSB4J6v27F9P0_BblO7esIO1U0Wl34zqK/w400-h300/306016300_591166909411754_6808454384085575843_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjScAQiaMhNmiOuikOSwboO9eOtkdrypcymjr1rvq78XucaMUnmz7A-TH2JdmPLFwbrFdbBMdy0rYXnZpAekxZDMADtpL8DQIlrtpXqJlylSXrHVILtON-T5dKcYDzIWZiprNT48cnjRYRDtGc1CZIc5ZZsF4Iyv6CAXiHG7VeSw4bFLMP1eaCtDa_D/s4000/IMG_20220910_114655.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjScAQiaMhNmiOuikOSwboO9eOtkdrypcymjr1rvq78XucaMUnmz7A-TH2JdmPLFwbrFdbBMdy0rYXnZpAekxZDMADtpL8DQIlrtpXqJlylSXrHVILtON-T5dKcYDzIWZiprNT48cnjRYRDtGc1CZIc5ZZsF4Iyv6CAXiHG7VeSw4bFLMP1eaCtDa_D/w300-h400/IMG_20220910_114655.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Velites agains the Pyrrhic elephant</td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiahDqwpYP1DtL0M5Bn4O1rjMEkrCTwagdJT7hXL6fHDFOsh2qGBJoQ3IyQfZKo5eadhxzWnpPBAfBQWh4XaxyFdFEaQBmGaZMtYGRR_M62uboBDDIUVGaukGLg_eu_LPIg6f59UfmBpFsFzy2AjBzzaK5uWIT7cNo4bfQOyqOBImC7BxiipSLritZv/s4000/IMG_20220910_123720.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiahDqwpYP1DtL0M5Bn4O1rjMEkrCTwagdJT7hXL6fHDFOsh2qGBJoQ3IyQfZKo5eadhxzWnpPBAfBQWh4XaxyFdFEaQBmGaZMtYGRR_M62uboBDDIUVGaukGLg_eu_LPIg6f59UfmBpFsFzy2AjBzzaK5uWIT7cNo4bfQOyqOBImC7BxiipSLritZv/w400-h300/IMG_20220910_123720.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvjQVOPSSAjnLa-vO_0wrzMOghFz4UWCEPbPW2NSmv8aJldsnhZ0rzetTeh8sxzP7Q7xBeSTBZxYR4MXwtQYyUQ8kd_DKAjjGDMs2EtIOIqLfKda1OJA_goF1bhKegNNNS3-iq9bjObIOQMkBJE_GvRI_dDwsCQZl95bgI6wEedtIo1ll6IycURlEP/s1678/305980172_620879219435872_3179284081376980662_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1043" data-original-width="1678" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvjQVOPSSAjnLa-vO_0wrzMOghFz4UWCEPbPW2NSmv8aJldsnhZ0rzetTeh8sxzP7Q7xBeSTBZxYR4MXwtQYyUQ8kd_DKAjjGDMs2EtIOIqLfKda1OJA_goF1bhKegNNNS3-iq9bjObIOQMkBJE_GvRI_dDwsCQZl95bgI6wEedtIo1ll6IycURlEP/w400-h249/305980172_620879219435872_3179284081376980662_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp_LaTELi4RrpMaAavZjT-tbm-IgyoZFVFqtS8Uiztr5zIAF0AF8b8T_JT0Lj32gcs_oPHGtT_W2-6HKvgJ9-1LN5zasViZ42_2rXc288KbcPXUun6ULb0Dyym1q2TsuirgUj1CxPsIr4f8fgey9NJ-zS9zZWlsNP_NAiQq5pTlKwhxW1LLRwYUuNH/s2000/305850283_4969070699861540_3953023199869834792_n.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="2000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp_LaTELi4RrpMaAavZjT-tbm-IgyoZFVFqtS8Uiztr5zIAF0AF8b8T_JT0Lj32gcs_oPHGtT_W2-6HKvgJ9-1LN5zasViZ42_2rXc288KbcPXUun6ULb0Dyym1q2TsuirgUj1CxPsIr4f8fgey9NJ-zS9zZWlsNP_NAiQq5pTlKwhxW1LLRwYUuNH/w400-h300/305850283_4969070699861540_3953023199869834792_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Triarii in danger</td></tr></tbody></table><p>To summarize, Romans had terrible dice in the start and the first combats.

However earlier classes of Roman skirmishers did not carry shields most of the time - and I would like to use my Romans for a wider period. Also in emergency times a lot of slaves and other non-citizens were enlisted to the legions who mostly became velites. These conscripts were ill-armed and I am sure that most of them did not have shields. So only half of my velites have shields.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg896YmMhWYqKU-2BuL2TC7oHllyZI_pYGtGMbCM5yFtUqL1eptTgJjgF93jeFoWGvtFzF2uwsyXRiLBoberDJGBkHal2naqZ8d3DYWzUNyos_mJH1I3Ca_xc3N6xa6hOdKsi_BXFw1sPAngAoclfd1dkr4NaVT1ob6_Q6K6jKkYysf5vo-2UphXBOc/s2802/1660172061290.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1826" data-original-width="2802" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg896YmMhWYqKU-2BuL2TC7oHllyZI_pYGtGMbCM5yFtUqL1eptTgJjgF93jeFoWGvtFzF2uwsyXRiLBoberDJGBkHal2naqZ8d3DYWzUNyos_mJH1I3Ca_xc3N6xa6hOdKsi_BXFw1sPAngAoclfd1dkr4NaVT1ob6_Q6K6jKkYysf5vo-2UphXBOc/w400-h261/1660172061290.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi9mOPjMAGKmjqsTb46AElVuD7vD6XjKSpKmfZrVZTzKT3aHIrga_NFiemgNVgYCDSLrMlZKIVhNPamQKNns5A15sPu0anVkd4XgxEl2R2h7TP0rY1WoX1fCU9Tcb9pmTdsn68t8NluPSG80rvHIQk3FdZzYWNX6tVGURNOM1J5XcaAZdnHXmIf1Dz/s3295/1660172061272.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2097" data-original-width="3295" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi9mOPjMAGKmjqsTb46AElVuD7vD6XjKSpKmfZrVZTzKT3aHIrga_NFiemgNVgYCDSLrMlZKIVhNPamQKNns5A15sPu0anVkd4XgxEl2R2h7TP0rY1WoX1fCU9Tcb9pmTdsn68t8NluPSG80rvHIQk3FdZzYWNX6tVGURNOM1J5XcaAZdnHXmIf1Dz/w400-h255/1660172061272.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2aUyWD8Y9J-7OnyTvlOmqMG7z4dvBLFEVtU_ZAR0kWdEY4sroZq6_t8SdZ8YJ2cFhO4KxrtwulZbDsBFUkUr_O3s2Rl0uF4q1WTZKDBgLupRZMVZgSQKFyw0GQ_Qe4F6rnVSuzMrND9fjtzBcBvE6ahMbSKSBt4Z0Bgwoy-SIHC-iOSDcajDRm06O/s3554/1660172061266.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2439" data-original-width="3554" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2aUyWD8Y9J-7OnyTvlOmqMG7z4dvBLFEVtU_ZAR0kWdEY4sroZq6_t8SdZ8YJ2cFhO4KxrtwulZbDsBFUkUr_O3s2Rl0uF4q1WTZKDBgLupRZMVZgSQKFyw0GQ_Qe4F6rnVSuzMrND9fjtzBcBvE6ahMbSKSBt4Z0Bgwoy-SIHC-iOSDcajDRm06O/w400-h275/1660172061266.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPjmP79sXKifkoxcMircHbZSRA14LbjSFhhsTOYn6sUUekmBtaTpypollQbJRd9hf0SVhljevscIOMAxRFc8gqRDZ9BiF583NniCHXvoU7dDSoZX5DboiKhii1UvTUxYgpUc4bfswGGmtMD_M4fWQYN-nDnwE-NG_2Ra9YekuMK-kImqFWWF1Zuia7/s2610/1660172061278.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1915" data-original-width="2610" height="294" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPjmP79sXKifkoxcMircHbZSRA14LbjSFhhsTOYn6sUUekmBtaTpypollQbJRd9hf0SVhljevscIOMAxRFc8gqRDZ9BiF583NniCHXvoU7dDSoZX5DboiKhii1UvTUxYgpUc4bfswGGmtMD_M4fWQYN-nDnwE-NG_2Ra9YekuMK-kImqFWWF1Zuia7/w400-h294/1660172061278.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Der Hauptmannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18101250184965371760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677647178481264394.post-50022845528919992652021-10-08T22:21:00.010+02:002021-10-08T22:22:51.085+02:00My Hungarian War of Independence Collection<p>I collect both sides: the Austrian Imperial Army and the Hungarian Honvéd Army in 15 mm for 1848-49.

Some of them had medium brown atilla surcoats like the Honvéd infantry did. Others wore light blue atillas, because the Autstrian Army had the same colour for the officers and lot of the Hungarian generals were former soldiers of the Austrian Imperial Army. There were rank symbols, but everything was messed up, because of the rapid renewal of the officers.

The war was fought between the Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire from 1593 to 1606 over the territory of Hungary. Huge parts of Hungary were occupied by the Ottomans in the 16th century, and the other parts of the country fell under the influence of the Habsburgs. The two superpowers set up frontiers to protect themselves. However time for peace has not come, both sides tried to gain territory from the other. The goal of the Ottomans was to conquer more parts of Europe such as the city of Vienna. The Habsburgs were the legal kings of Hungary, because they inherited the throne before. But most parts of Hungary were under Ottoman rule, so Habsburgs wanted to get their legacy. A costly and bloody war begun which lasted for 15 years and devastated the area with a little gain for either side.</p><p>During the second half of the war, in 1601 Habsburg forces successfully conquered the city of <i>Székesfehérvár</i> and laid an other siege on <i>Nagykanizsa</i>. The Ottomans launched an army of ca. 50.000 soldiers to rescue the situation. A Christian force (ca. 15.000) commanded by <i>Philippe-Emmanuel de Lorraine</i> (the Duke of <span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Mercœur</i>)</span></span> still camped near Székesfehérvár after the successfull siege. <i>Hasan Yemi<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122;">ş</span><span style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122;">ç</span></span><span face="sans-serif" style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 14px;">i</span></i>, the Ottoman Pasha led his troops directly towards them.</p><p>The first clashes started on the 9th of October. The Christian army camped near the village of <i>Csókakő</i>, while the Turks tried to chase them and retake the city. The battle was fought in the valleys and on the hills west from the city of <i>Székesfehérvár</i> and lasted for the 25th of October. Casual encounters happened between the two sides, but not a constant battle. Between the 10th and the 13th of October, the Duke ordered his troops to fortificate their camp and to build a forward position at the hill of <i>Tatár-kő</i>. Hasan Pasha did not hesitate and led his army against the hill. This was the part of the battle which we wanted to reconstruct with our figures (we do not have information on the exact setup of the battle, so mostly our own decisions defined the game):</p><p>The Christian forward position on the Tatar Hill consisted of an artillery battery which was guarded by a unit of Hungarian <i>hajdú</i> soldiers (light frontier infantry). The main Habsburg army get out of the camp and arrayed behind the hill. It had two infatry and two cavalry brigades. The Ottomans assaulted the Christian position on the whole battlefield. Ottoman left flank consisted of <span style="font-family: inherit;">Akinji and Tatar</span> cavalry. Janissary and Azab infantry was positioned in the centrum - just in front of the hill. Timarli Sipahi cavalry made up the right flank.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2OwCnhTLkwqk93n20V5yRWj2Amaa5Wgie41w4jYk6WsIuDfrKOBA6YNN-6opplryBpO6lmhnqVggngmatRERZEO9MzEejJOteYbR1MhtdYUrhPFEjkkhJLrn3PP9B66jYcdo-3GwZGJI/s2048/241723035_3080192262307789_7863927019269366754_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1215" data-original-width="2048" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2OwCnhTLkwqk93n20V5yRWj2Amaa5Wgie41w4jYk6WsIuDfrKOBA6YNN-6opplryBpO6lmhnqVggngmatRERZEO9MzEejJOteYbR1MhtdYUrhPFEjkkhJLrn3PP9B66jYcdo-3GwZGJI/w400-h238/241723035_3080192262307789_7863927019269366754_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Table setup</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgQ_2jTbqOXw6efs2NP6B1WijWGUdM_QgmeO0rv7uoDgU2aKJA93QqNmF9fPRxX6yW1oE2CKGhfrTpEhO6WcuN2T9nJ6WF2HoeFcKcuu3yxU3BxRW5e_njXjF9MoXEAYqayt11QGUC70U/s2048/IMG_20210911_103832.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1634" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgQ_2jTbqOXw6efs2NP6B1WijWGUdM_QgmeO0rv7uoDgU2aKJA93QqNmF9fPRxX6yW1oE2CKGhfrTpEhO6WcuN2T9nJ6WF2HoeFcKcuu3yxU3BxRW5e_njXjF9MoXEAYqayt11QGUC70U/w319-h400/IMG_20210911_103832.jpg" width="319" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Habsburg Army</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlfoJ-J2KcUjcnQQs4XvPsmMCvUS378dKSbdMYwQ9nptkKroqUquPl045mNU2bpUXcaNPXc7wnRTCqg6vIsrNgNSVQs_m-RRhSU5yulZooPRcyuFcPnnrGr_0slqsFKUUHd7cpZ94GgJI/s2048/IMG_20210911_103822.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="2048" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlfoJ-J2KcUjcnQQs4XvPsmMCvUS378dKSbdMYwQ9nptkKroqUquPl045mNU2bpUXcaNPXc7wnRTCqg6vIsrNgNSVQs_m-RRhSU5yulZooPRcyuFcPnnrGr_0slqsFKUUHd7cpZ94GgJI/w400-h260/IMG_20210911_103822.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Christian forward position on the Tatar Hill</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpu-1F3OQcSqIYxqF7zLlhWq9J059FNwx8iFdNFj49_tvtlFoNEkkKVFC2LgaEWk_hMHWPSA-GiolltWkvjtvPRhNonWiCtwlnn8DWr-i9dpUGwic26bBLuyGCMX-mEolIgvKv96ZwhnM/s2048/IMG_20210911_103817.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpu-1F3OQcSqIYxqF7zLlhWq9J059FNwx8iFdNFj49_tvtlFoNEkkKVFC2LgaEWk_hMHWPSA-GiolltWkvjtvPRhNonWiCtwlnn8DWr-i9dpUGwic26bBLuyGCMX-mEolIgvKv96ZwhnM/w300-h400/IMG_20210911_103817.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ottoman Army arrrayed for battle</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Akinji an Tatar riders were the first who charged the enemy.

Only one unit remained and tried to hinder the advancing Christian pikemen and cavalry with their bows. Things were different in the center: the solid valley fires of the Jannissaries killed most of the Habsburg gun crew and routed the Hungarian hajdú infantry off the hill. Climbing the slope took time of the Ottomans. The Azabs successfully overrun the enemy position and attacked the rallying hajdú infantry on the other side of the hill. By this achievment Hasan Serdar was able to send a part of his Janissaries to the left wing to support the threatened Akinji cavalry. Janissaries held their ground and fired their muskets to the approaching pike block and cavalry. With their bravery they could put to flight the cavalry of the Christian right.</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

In the same time the Ottomans successfully took position on the hill, routed the Christian left wing and Sipahis were about to encircle their infantry. The Turks only lost less valuable troops like Akinjis, Tatars and Azabs, their elite Jannissaries and Sipahis were capable of fighting till the end of the battle.

Hasan Pasha tried to drive away the Habsburgs several times, but he did not succeed. The weather was already too rainy, the terrain was muddy (<i>Sárrét</i> means muddy field in Hungarian) and it was late in the campaigning season. On the 25th of October the Serdar ordered his troops to retreat back to the Balkan. So in 1601 the Habsburgs could conquer the city of <i>Székesfehérvár</i> and even protect it.

Obviously it means that I have to paint a Hungarian and an Austrian division. Both sides will have two infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade in their division. Therefore four generals are needed for each side to command such an army: one Feldmarschall-Lieutenant (division commander) and three Generalmajors (brigade commanders).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

In these times - prior to the reforms of Marius - the legionaries had no standardized equipment, but they were divided into four groups: velites, hastati, principes et triarii.

Only one artillery unit of the Imperial Austrian Army joined the revolution - the 5th Artillery Regiment. But not with all it's manpower so it proved to be insufficient to serve a whole army. There was a great demand for the creation of the independent Hungarian artillery. It really was a greenfield-investment because even there were no cannon foundries or other industrial facilities in Hungary to build up artillery. Some factories of the heavy industry were selected and transformed to produce cannons. These factories were located in the big cities of Hungary like Pest, Nagyvárad and Kassa. The recruits of the artilleries consisted mostly of educated people like engineers, lawyers, university students and in some cases even clerics. This was very important because supporting of the cannons, making ammunition and repairing the equipment needed fast learning and good cognitive skills. Dénes Lukács - a former artillery expert in the Imperial Army - was one of the main organizers of the artillery in the Honvéd Army.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/22/Luk%C3%A1cs_D%C3%A9nes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="785" data-original-width="688" height="200" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/22/Luk%C3%A1cs_D%C3%A9nes.jpg" width="175" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Dénes Lukács - the organizer of the Honvéd Artillery</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbRCZ3lB_7Q0Nqn33rbhkVhM0SPzdTNy5zEMyB9gW3g9uDkWDjrSHSnDQr9hvRSLmGwWguCpji9Eob7PzCTzVg-0WtEJZrxJgPFeX8YSWE7_vXmlLjTFv-zVnqGDEG79nVJC9Vnye6Bi4/s2048/DSCN5071.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1375" data-original-width="2048" height="269" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbRCZ3lB_7Q0Nqn33rbhkVhM0SPzdTNy5zEMyB9gW3g9uDkWDjrSHSnDQr9hvRSLmGwWguCpji9Eob7PzCTzVg-0WtEJZrxJgPFeX8YSWE7_vXmlLjTFv-zVnqGDEG79nVJC9Vnye6Bi4/w400-h269/DSCN5071.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p>A really interesting part of the revolutionary artillery was the cannon production in Háromszék which was led by a famous Hungarian artillerist: Áron Gábor. Háromszék is a region in Transylvania which was occupied by the Imperial Army at the beginning of the Revolutionary War (however it was a Hungarian territory). The bigger cities like Kézdivásárhely resisted the Austrian occupation and held up. General Josef Bem was arriving with his army to Transylvania to liberate the towns, but the lack of cannons was a huge problem for them. Áron Gábor organized a cannon foundry relying only on local craftmans and infrastrucure. With the help of Saxon bell casters, he could manage to supply the Trannsylvanian resistance and the Honvéd troops with 70 6pdr cannons!</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://mnl.gov.hu/images/ups/4964.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="674" height="200" src="https://mnl.gov.hu/images/ups/4964.jpg" width="168" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Áron Gábor - the head of the cannon-making in Trannsylvania</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOKmwY8XzwQDycYsXxh1ZNi0XKZrb31UqblSjqFj3M1J3C9YHzy4PvnCsxfUBHSYJuMePjID6kvuRXkTajtquxEr5pFKxhU5ALZDgis_coye08LZlQuDqvZqdLl2NVZg6mKupJy4ih9as/s2048/DSCN5070.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1376" data-original-width="2048" height="269" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOKmwY8XzwQDycYsXxh1ZNi0XKZrb31UqblSjqFj3M1J3C9YHzy4PvnCsxfUBHSYJuMePjID6kvuRXkTajtquxEr5pFKxhU5ALZDgis_coye08LZlQuDqvZqdLl2NVZg6mKupJy4ih9as/w400-h269/DSCN5070.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p><br />In summary the Honvéd Artillery was a completely new, successfully organized unit which could keep up really well with it's counterpart: the Austrian Artillery. The Hungarian side had less cannons in overall. However, they could manage to maximise their firepower. They never kept bigger artillery reserves in battles (like the Austrians did), all batteries were in the frontline, detached to the brigades. Honvéd Artillery operated effectively in action, even the well organized limber teams and supply wagons provided extra mobility for them.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtikC3cIMkh6575y2JOOIGCiHlbY3HX6MvmmG6a3epztHs3wQJjPc18MatXlcdnDQs9U8Wd4vC9yPpUK7qdiq7UzzEmoybhKffhM-eCj1bpO4FQ20D3PsnNQD_ign__zXmdylj9-ZCu2I/s2048/DSCN5073.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1312" data-original-width="2048" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtikC3cIMkh6575y2JOOIGCiHlbY3HX6MvmmG6a3epztHs3wQJjPc18MatXlcdnDQs9U8Wd4vC9yPpUK7qdiq7UzzEmoybhKffhM-eCj1bpO4FQ20D3PsnNQD_ign__zXmdylj9-ZCu2I/w400-h256/DSCN5073.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p>The figures are from Honvéd miniatures.</p>Der Hauptmannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18101250184965371760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677647178481264394.post-38258030983280781072020-08-06T23:18:00.004+02:002020-08-07T10:36:26.998+02:00More Austrian Line Infantry Battalions - Finished UnitMost wargamers boosted their figure collection during the quarantine and painted a lot of miniatures.

NOTE: I have seen many reconstructions and wagrame figures of 1848 Austrian artillerymen in hats with yellow margin. It is a misbelief that all artillery troops had that kind of ornament on their headwear. Maybe the problem comes from Győző Somogyi's uniform book on the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence. The book is very good indeed, but it shows an Austrian gunner with the above metioned incorrect hat. In fact only bombardier troops (who operated mortars, howitzers etc.) had yellow edged hats, ordinary gunners did not. "Gemeiner artillerists" had a simple black corsican hat.<br />

The cavalry of the Honvéd Army almost only consisted of hussars (except the uhlans of the Polish Legion and the dragoon squadron of the Italian Legion). Most of the former imperial hussar regiments joined the Hungarian side during the revolution (1st to 12th regiments) and additionally new regiments were founded (13th-18th).<br />
<br />
The 9th 'Nicholas' Regiment was an old unit of the Austrian Imperial Army. The titular owner of the regiment was tsar Nicholas I, thats why the regiments name is 'Nicholas'. The regiment arrived to Hungary from Silesia in June 1848 and immediately joined the Honvéd Army. Units from the regiment fought in the most important battles of the revolution: Pákozd, Hatvan, Tápióbicske, Isaszeg and Nagysalló. At the end, they capitulated to the Russians under the command of General Görgey at Világos.<br />

The Austrian Imperial Army had seven chevauxleger regiments in 1848. Before 1848, the equipment of the chevauxlegers and the dragoons became unified. However, their military training was different and even some of the chevauxleger regiments had dark green coats as uniform instead of white.<br />

Most of the Austrian Grenzer regiments were recruited from thhe Croatian and Serbian borderland. However there were two Székely (14th and 15th) and two Romanian (16th and 17th) regiments too. The Székely minority in Transylvania speaks Hungarian, they identify themselves as Hungarians. For this reason, for them to join the Honvéd Army in 1848 was not a question - for the 14th and 15th regiments.<br />
<br />
The 2nd battalion of the 15th regiment was sent to Transdanubia in 1848.<br />

The infantry in the Austrian army consisted of line regiments and Grenzer regiments, which were border guard regiments actually. Among the line infantry there were 'German' and 'Hungarian' regiments. In 1848 some units of the Hungarian infantry joined the revolutionary Honvéd Army, because of the laws of April ordered all Hungarian soldiers to return to Hungary (initially they were stationed in other regions of the empire). The Habsburg goverment could block some Hungarian infantry regiments to join the Honvéd army. Some of these were sent to Italy to fight against the Italian revolution. So all of the Austrian infantry who fought against the Honvéd Army were soldiers from 'German' regiments.<br />

Also the Imperial government could stir up the Southern Slavic and Romanian minorities against the Hungarians. Most of the Grenzer regiments were Serbians and Croatians so these were also sent against the Honvéd Army.<br /><br />The Austrian line infantry was better than the Honvéd infantry in terms of equipment and drilling. Most importantly their firepower was better because all of them were equipped with M 1842 Agustin muskets. These rifles had tube lock ignition system which was more reliable than the flintlocks of the honvéds. However, the soldiers of the revolutionary Hungarian infantry had higher motivation to fight.<br />

The Grenzer infantry was less drilled than line infantry, however their equipment was nearly the same. The Grenzer's uniform was different: they had a brown coat instead of white.<br />

The Hungarian Revolution broke out on the 15th of March in 1848. The Hungarian nation opposed the centralizing politics of the Habsburg dinasty and they wanted to be independent in the field of military affairs, government financing and internal politics. Ferdinand the 1st accepted the claims and the first independent Hungarian government was founded under the leadership of Lajos Battyhány. Next the Austrian politicians forced Ferdinand to step down from the throne and Franz Joseph became the new Habsburg emperor who acted against the revolution. Then the war of independence started.<br />
<br />
The new Hungarian governemnt started to establish an independent army. This was called the Honvédség (it literally means defence forces). Some Hungarian units of the Imperial Austrian Army joinded the establishment of the Honvéd Army, but this was not enough to protect the revolution. The first honvéd battalions were recruited in the end of May 1848. The Honvéd Army reached the number of 150 000 by the summer of 1849.<br />
<br />
The honvéd infatry had traditional Hungarian garnment as uniform. The atilla coat had brown color with red braiding and the tight Hungarian-style pants were blue coloured. They had no unified firearms: from the most modern percussion lock muskets to even Napoleonic arms a wide range of weapons were used by the honvéds. This made them less effective in firepower compared to the well equipped Imperial line infantry regiments. Because of this, the Hungarian strategists mostly relied on bayonett charges, which proved to be effective thanks to the enthusiastic soldiers.<br />

Ottoman artillery was almost the best in Europe between the 15th and 17th centuries. Its organisation and ammunition system was far more developed than in any other European army. Originally this unit was launched by the help of experienced Christian European mastergunners and cannon makers. Later the Ottomans had their own experts for this task. The <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Topçu Ocağı</span> (artillery corps) became the part of the kapikülü troops.<br />
Usually compared to the high number of the soldiers, Ottoman armies had fewer firearms then European armies but their artillery was stronger. Turks mostly used cannons during sieges, and they had an effective field artillery by the end of the 15th century. For example, they used field artillery very effectively in the battles of Chaldiran (1514) and Marj Dabiq (1516).<br />
