Title: 1663 Battle of Ameixial : Second Refight
Post by: Keraunos on 07 August 2024, 05:17:24 AM
Last night saw a replay of the Battle of Ameixial with some modifications made following the first battle - reported in June.

A swift battle that saw a completely different result from the first game as the Spanish triumphed unhistorically over the Portuguese.
