>>43321583>Brets outnumber Empire Knights 5 to 1 at least, wearing half plate vs full plate, larger stronger horses.Fucking do they? So, every upity son of every shitty noble gets a horse, a helmet and a sword. Great, so does every secend noble son in the Empire. Per capita there might be more knights, but do you have any fucking idea how many Knightly Orders there are and how big the Empire is?
And even if, IF there are more knights: Where does this get you? Knights alone don't win you wars.
>Peasents equipped with billhooks, at least as good as halberds and have extremely high Morale. Not lacking in the armor department compared to their knightly fellows.You mean the shittily trained, underfed and underequiped peasants, those guys? Also, don't they have LD6? That means they pretty much run as soon as you look at them the wrong way.
>Longbows outrange everything the Empire filed bar cannon fire, deal heavy damage to the mostly quilted armored Empire state troopsThey actually have longer range than Crossbowmen or Handgunners, which means they'll spend some more time marching up to them before shooting them to bits.
Just leaving out Magic, Empire will pound the Brets. You know why? Because the Empire's Tactics supplanted the Bret's in fucking real life.
As for magic...
>Brets have magical forcefields on the Knights.True. If they spend praying long enough that the opposing army can march up right in their stupid fucking faces, which leaves the bulk of their army, the peasants, completely unprotected. You have the ranged advantage on your bows? You mean you HAD the range advantage of your bows.
>Empire have shooty wizards, Brets have supporty wizardsThis is so fucking wrong.
Brets have supporty wizards, Empires has ALL THE WIZARDS.
>Empire have cannons and birb cavalryAlso, heavier armored knights, better equipped and trained troops, deadly fast cavalry, priests of a warrior god, giant gatling guns, hawachas, mortars and huge magical engines FUCK YOU
