1st Game of Lion Rampant.

We managed to fit a run through of Lion Rampant this afternoon.

As they were still sat on the table from when i took photos for the starter armies, thought we might as well use them.

It'll take a bit of getting used to as we're used to larger games but should be fun.

The Mongol Horde swarm across the steppe, well a raiding party really.

A Teutonic host prepare to defend a farmstead. Buildings are from 1st Corps.

Teutonic Sergeants take up position outside the farm.

Knights crossing a plowed field, not a good idea trying to get across rough terrain.

No stopping the knights though when they make contact. We called it a day there as half the Mongol units were below 50%.

The knights oath.

"I... do profess and promise chastity, giving up all property, and obedience to God and the Blessed Virgin Mary and to you, Brother ... Master of the Teutonic Order, and to your successors, according to the Rules and Regulations of the Order. And I will be obedient to you, and to your successors, even unto death."

Officially recognised as a military order around 1190 AD ,during the siege of  Acre. The Teutonic Knights of the Hospital of the Blessed Virgin at Jerusalem as they were known became one of the greatest religious military orders in Europe. From their humble beginnings aiding sick pilgrims in the Holy land to controlling large amounts of territory in the Baltic.
