Round 1:
Bloody Chickens:150 (100 Men-At-Arms)
Quinno's Crossbows: 125 (900 Men-At-Arms)
Vs.
Pentoshi Militia:88 5000 Conscripts (Outmaneuvered -10, Average Damage -15%, Heavy Damage -25% )

Quinno's crossbowmen begin to feather the opposing Militia with waves of crossbow quarrels, as men begin to drop like flies. When the Militia finally reaches the front row, they are greeted by the Bloody Chickens, anxious for blood and honor after that long sail from Oldtown. The Chickens cut down any Militiaman stupid enough to get within range, and push them backwards to face yet more quarrels. The Militia Commander shouts some orders, and despite the punishment the Pentoshi hold their lines.

Round 1:
The Undying Ten Thousand: 167 (500 Men-At-Arms)
The Red Swans: 89 (500 Men-At-Arms)
Vs.
The Second Sons: 92 (500 Men-at-Arms, Heavy Damage -25%)
The Unforgiven: 76 (500 Men-at-Arms, Heavy Damage, -25%)

The Red Swans hang back anxiously, awaiting to see what happens, but the Undying Ten Thousand charge ahead, blasting into their opponents, and pushing deep. Despite the much reputed cowardice of Sellswords, neither the Second Sons nor the Unforgiven break.

Round 1:
The Love's Lancers: 127 (50 Knights, Light Damage -5%, Light Damage -5%)
The Myrish Militia: 82 (500 Men-At-Arms, Heavy Damage -25%, Heavy Damage -25%)
The Tyrosh Militia: 131 (500 Men-At-Arms, Light Damage -5%, Light Damage -5%)
Vs.

Turok's Toughs: 151 (500 Men-At-Arms, Outmaneuvered -10, Outnumbered -5)

While everything is going swimmingly for the Free Alliance in the Center and on the Left Flank, things do not go so well when they face the set lance charge of the Shock Lancers, and the ferocity of the Norvosi Axe men tearing into the midst of the two city-state militias. The Myrish Militia holds firm, despite the damage.

Round 2:
Bloody Chickens:108 (100 Men-At-Arms)
Quinno's Crossbows: 95 (900 Men-At-Arms)
Vs.
Pentoshi Militia:105 3000 Conscripts (Outnumbered -5, Outmaneuvered -10 )

The front line between the Crossbows and the Pentoshi Conscripts degenerates into a line of pushing and shoving, and neither group gives much ground.

Round 2:
The Undying Ten Thousand: 130 (500 Men-At-Arms, Average Damage -15%)
The Red Swans: 140 (500 Men-At-Arms, Light Damage -5%)
Vs.
The Second Sons: 164 (375 Men-at-Arms, Outnumbered -5 )
The Unforgiven: 133 (375 Men-at-Arms, Outnumbered -5 )

The Second Sons soon recover their footing, and push back, fighting hard cutting down the inappropriately named Undying.

Round 2:
The Love's Lancers: 76 (45 Knights, Outnumbered -5, Light Damage -5, Light Damage -5)
The Myrish Militia: 67 (25 Men-At-Arms, Outnumbered -5, Average damage, -15%, Average Damage -15%)
The Tyrosh Militia: 96(450 Men-At-Arms, Outnumbered -5)
Vs.
Braavos Shock Lancers:97 (250 Knights, Outmaneuvered -10, )
Turok's Toughs: 96 (500 Men-At-Arms, Outmaneuvered -10, )

In a stunning display of incompetence, the Lancers manage get turned around, and instead of flanking the Toughs as they intended, they charge directly into their set pikes, taking having damage, They attempt to turn and get off the deadly spears, only to be attacked by the Lancers from the flank, costing them yet more men. The Myrish Militia attempts to assist them, only to be trampled by the Braavosi Shock Lancers as well. Only the Tyrosh manage to hold ground, as the Right Flank continues to go Pentos' way.

[The Stranger]

Round 3:
Bloody Chickens:149 (100 Men-At-Arms)
Quinno's Crossbows: 168 (900 Men-At-Arms)
Vs.
Pentoshi Militia:103 3000 Conscripts (Outnumbered -5, Outmaneuvered -10, Heavy Damage -25%, Average Damage -15% )

The Pentoshi are inexperienced and untrained, and soon tire of the scrum, while the Bloody Chickens continue to slug it out. The Pentoshi's back rows of men begin to take increasing casualties as quarrels rain down upon them.

Round 3:
The Undying Ten Thousand: 132 (425 Men-At-Arms,)
The Red Swans: 95 (475 Men-At-Arms, Average damage -15% )
Vs.
The Second Sons: 106 (375 Men-at-Arms, Outnumbered -5, Average damage -15% )
The Unforgiven: 131 (375 Men-at-Arms, Outnumbered -5 )

The Unforgiven punish the Red Swans with deadly blows, while the Undying take revenge upon the Second Sons,

Round 3:
The Love's Lancers: 162 (40 Knights, Outnumbered -5,)
The Myrish Militia: 109 (175 Men-At-Arms, Outnumbered -5, average damage -15%)
The Tyrosh Militia: 83 (450 Men-At-Arms, Outnumbered -5, Heavy Damage -25%)
Vs.
Braavos Shock Lancers: 157 (250 Knights, Outmaneuvered -10, )
Turok's Toughs: 82 (500 Men-At-Arms, Outmaneuvered -10, Heavy Damage -25%, Average damage -15% )

The Myrish Militia and the Lancers get it turned around again, driving into Turok's men, and punishing them heavily, Turok's men break and flee. The Shock Lancers focus their efforts on trying to break the Tyrosh militia, but the newly independent citizens hold their ground against their former oppressors.

[The Stranger]

Round 4:
Bloody Chickens: 147 (100 Men-At-Arms)
Quinno's Crossbows: 103 (900 Men-At-Arms)
Vs.
Pentoshi Militia: 99 1800 Conscripts (Outnumbered -5, Outmaneuvered -10, Heavy Hit -25)

Kenneth leads his men into the midst of the Militia, and with carnage all around them, the Conscripts break, and they break hard. Dozens fall, before Coyn orders his men to retake their positions and prepare for the next threat.

Round 4:
The Undying Ten Thousand: 86 (425 Men-At-Arms, Light Damage -5%)
The Red Swans: 134 (404 Men-At-Arms, )
Vs.
The Second Sons: 78 (319 Men-at-Arms, Outnumbered -5, Heavy Damage -25%)
The Unforgiven: 102 (375 Men-at-Arms, Outnumbered -5, Average Damage -15% )

The Red Swans pick up the slack, cutting into the Second Sons, and hurting the bad. Their Captain turns his tail, and the others decide its a good time to do likewise. The Unforgiven curse them as cowards, as they take casualties as well.

Round 4:
The Love's Lancers: 160 (40 Knights, Outnumbered -5,)
The Myrish Militia: 84 (149 Men-At-Arms, Outnumbered -5, Heavy damage -25%, average damage -15% )
The Tyrosh Militia: 119 (337 Men-At-Arms, Outnumbered -5, Light damage -5%, Average damage -25%)
Vs.
Braavos Shock Lancers: 140 (250 Knights, Outmaneuvered -10, Light damage -5%)
Turok's Toughs: 162 (300 Men-At-Arms, Outmaneuvered -10)

The brave if fool hardy Love's Lancers charge into the midst of the Shock Lancers, and do them some damage, but they are easy pray for the Toughs, who pull men from their horses, and bash their brains in with stones or whatever is available for brain bashing. The Myrish Militia shows why the city is known primarily for its lace as the cowards flee the field and the Tyrosh fare little better.

Round 5:

Bloody Chickens: 82 (100 Men-At-Arms, Heavy Hit -25%, Light hit, -5% )
Quinno's Crossbows: 93 (900 Men-At-Arms, Average hit -15%)
The Love's Lancers: 157 (40 Knights,)
The Tyrosh Militia: 113 (273 Men-At-Arms, )
Vs.
Braavos Shock Lancers: 138 (243 Knights, outnumbered -5, Outmaneuvered -20)
Turok's Toughs: 103 (300 Men-At-Arms, outnumbered -5, Heavy Hit -25%, Outmaneuvered -20)

The Shock Lancers continue to crush everything which attempts to stand against their charge crushing a dozen or so men, and the Toughs follow in behind, hacking and cutting into the Bloody Chickens Lines. The men want to flee to run, but Coyn's inspiring words, and his ridiculous Chicken Helm, keep them on the field. The Love's Lancers find the Tough's flank while they are distracted with the Crossbowmen however, and wrack vengeance upon them. The Toughs have had enough, and flee the field.

Round 5:
The Undying Ten Thousand: 169 (404 Men-At-Arms,)
The Red Swans: 132 (404 Men-At-Arms, )
Vs.
The Unforgiven: 89 (375 Men-at-Arms, Outnumbered -5, Out maneuvered -10, Average hit -15%, Heavy hit- 25%)

The Red Swans and the Undying continue their bloody path of destruction through the Unforgiven ranks. The Unforgiven look back at the backs of the fleeing Second Sons, and decide maybe turning tail isn't such a bad idea after all. Seeing their Allies abandoning them, the Braavosi lose any desire to die for a shithole like Pentos, and they flee the field as well.

Free Alliance WINS!
