The other two battles ended as Minor Victories for the Christian armies of Portugal and Castille.
This means that ALGARVE and SALAMANCA are now under siege.

RECONQUISTA -- FOG: Medieval 1v1 Campaign
- Thread starter Rico
- Start date
We move on to the Muslim Impulse of TURN 4.
Muslim side has no Initiative Points, so no attacks from them -- (this also means the Muslim side is awarded a Free Initiative point available in TURN 6)
We do SIEGE DIE ROLLS for the sieges of ALGARVE and SALAMANCA.
ALGARVE: Die roll: 3 -- SUCCESS --> falls to Portuguese control (Christian faction gains one additional Initiative point)
SALAMANCA: Die roll: 7 -- NO EFFECT --> Siege continues
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TURN 5
We move on to TURN 5 and back to Don @chiquichops
Christian faction has 3 Initiative Points, but Castille army is tied up in siege of SALAMANCA.
Armies of Portugal and Aragon available for ONE attack each.

The Kingdom of Portugal is now firmly established. Onward to Granada, and Tangiers!
I can only get two attacks in this turn, given that I'm still besieging Salamanca.
Barcelona invades Mallorca.
Algarve into Sevilla. Looks like Portugal is a bigger player in this Reconquista.
If I win this one, it'll trigger the dreaded Almorávides

Ok, setting up the battles -- your Aragonese going with allies again?
Andalusians, yes, thanks.
Well, that wraps up a very demoralising TURN 5, Christian impulse.
Two more defeats for the Muslim side -- one really annoying one for me vs Portuguese --- the kind of result that makes you drop kick the PC out of the window.
SEVILLA is now under Portuguese SIEGE.
MAJORCA is captured by Aragon.
Siege roll is played for SALAMANCA and also falls to Castille.
Muslim impulse.
No Initiative points -- so no attacks from Muslims.
Siege roll done for SEVILLA (no luck there for the Muslim side either) -- so that falls to the Portuguese and activates the ALMORAVIDS for the next Muslim impulse.
Back to @chiquichops -- Christian side has FOUR Initiative points.

It's full on offensive by all three Christian kingdoms ... Bajadoz, Toledo and Valencia all under attack.
Can the Andalusians hold out until the Berber Almoravids arrive in the Muslim impulse of this turn?
At least the Muslim side can count on TWO counter-attacks in their impules (one free Andalusian one and the Almoravid army from North Africa!
Battle is joined.

I'm hoping to put all three of those province's under siege. I have the Muslims on a back foot right now, mustn't slip up.
Another catastrophic turn for the Muslim side -- three Major Victories -- Bajadoz, Toledo and Valencia all fall to the forces of Portugal, Castille and Aragon.
Pretty shit round as an unbelievable run of bad dice luck basically reduced me to a virtual spectator, watching my armies get crushed.

Ok, let's hope the arrival of the Almoravids in this turn give me a chance of stabilising things.
Muslim side gets TWO Initiative Points -- ONE free point from the turn track and ONE for the new Almoravid army.
Almoravids take over ALGECIRAS and attack SEVILLE. (Garrison battle)
An Andalusian army attacks BAJADOZ. (Field battle)

Mixed results for the Muslim counter-attack.
The Andalusian army scores a Major Victory and captures BAJADOZ.
The Almoravid Army suffers a Minor Defeat in SEVILLA -- turns out the Almoravids didn't bring enough cavalry to this fight

Here's a picture of El Torcal de Antequera, Málaga. Looks a bit like the mountains in our battle right now. It's a limestone mountain range that's been subjected to Karstification. It's an awesome spot to take a walk and there's a very good chance of seeing Ibex.
Walking doesn't look all that easy.
Now stumbling and falling...yeah that looks pretty easy.

Yep -- very, very similar.

Another dismal round for the Muslim faction ... (the die rolls even killed off ALL four of my leaders in one battle 
)
Battle 1: BAJADOZ -- Minor Victory for PORTUGAL - region remains CONTESTED
Battle 2: MURCIA -- ALORAVID attack suffers a Major Defeat, fails to break the ARAGONESE Siege and the province falls to ARAGON control.
3. Siege of CORDOBA -- Siege die roll is an 8 -- the Siege is broken and the CASTILIAN army withdraws -- the province remains under Muslim control.
